Modern Principles Of Software Quality Testing | Engineering

Quality Engineering, Modern Testing Principles. Lean and Process Improvement, Devops for Quality Engineers

What you'll learn

Learn modern ways to look at quality for software projects

Apply continous improvement techniques to increase speed and quality

Understand how Shift Left on quality increases release cadence

Identify pitfalls in the development process and their corrective actions

Leverage the power of Continous Testing

Quality enginering principles applied to agile deliveries

How to chose the right suited DEVOPS Testing pipeline

Make the most out of your Automation Strategy

Requirements

This is not an absolute beginner course, and as such some concepts are needed to make the most out of this material. These concepts are: Testing in general, Agile methodology, Software lifecycle, Containers and so on

No programming experience needed

Description

This is a masterclass in Quality Engineering teaching the student how to properly approach quality validations by applying shift left and Right approaches, Dev Ops tool chain and Lean principles. This will provide an in dept analysis on how one can have preventive measures before the first line of code is written and how to maximize the return on the investment made in quality engineering.The main goal of this course is to put together all the individual pieces that make software testing: Automation, Devops, Agile, Functional, Non-Functional, Version Control, Shift left and Shift Right, Containers, X as Code, Automated quality checks, Environments, Cloud and so on into one lecture that will bring these topics in a LEAN approach. This will take you from average Quality engineer to quality transformation expert.You will see how to overcome the storming and norming phase in the team and reach the high performing state by looking at the model based on the five dysfunctions of the team.After this lecture you will be able to improve the efficiency of your process, reduce infrastructure cost related to quality engineering, increase the speed of execution. By explaining LEAN Concepts and TIMWOODS wastes the project and organization will move to a continuous improvement and innovation state.
