Overview
Maintaining software quality through testing is important for software delivery to occur frequently and safely. But testing is a broad concept that can be applied in a variety of methods across organizations. This course gives the learner a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of software quality through testing including DevOps and Agile principles, testing implementations, what tests should be automated and what should not, how to implement different quality gates, and how to test architecture characteristics.
Join expert Thayse Onofrio to understand why all software engineers benefit from making quality a priority, and understanding key aspects to ensure that happens. Learn how to introduce quicker feedback loops and add multiple quality gates in the deployment process. See how agile processes and practices including TDD, BDD, and acceptance testing can be implemented, the benefits of shift-left testing, and how to convince your team of the importance of making quality a part of their development process. You will understand how relying on just one role to ensure quality can introduce numerous risks into your software and why quality is everyone’s job.
