Increased attention to the topic of quality control of software development has been a trend in recent years. The IT industry is evolving, and therefore, the need for professionals is growing. If you have an analytical mindset, are critical to details, know how to analyze, want to learn, and are ready to make your way in IT, sign up for our course!
The course is based on a strong theoretical base and a lot of practice. We also leave students the opportunity for self-education. The program is built so that upon its successful completion, you can safely apply for the position of Junior Test Engineer.
PROGRAM
Our course is a mix of lectures, practicals, and seminars combined into five thematic modules:
Module 1. Software Testing
This is the main module in which you will gain all the key knowledge and skills needed to master the profession of Test Engineer. We will talk about the quality of software, learn the classification of types of testing, focus on functional and non-functional testing, and consider test design techniques and features of test documentation. We will pay special attention to the topic of bugs and work with requirements. And you will learn about the specifics of testing mobile and desktop applications.
Module 2. Processes
This module focuses on the processes that occur during software development. We’ll start with the software development methodology, find out what place testing takes in the development cycle, talk about the team, and pay special attention to such an important topic as labor cost estimation.
Module 3. Principles of web-applications
In this module, we will consider the basic principles of web applications. You will learn the basics of HTML and CSS, focus on HTTP requests, and practice working with them.
Module 4. Basics of databases and automated testing
You will learn how to compose SQL queries and perform basic data operations, why you need automated testing, what approaches and tools exist, and how to work with them.
