Junior Software Tester

An introduction to the course and the scope and objectives of what you will learn. Also learn about the two ISTQB certifications you will be able to gain after this course: two certifications:

1. ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level
2. ISTQB Test Analyst

Learn the basic principles related to testing, the reasons why testing is required, and what test objectives are. You'll also be introduced to the test process, the major test activities, and testware. Finally, we'll cover some essential skills for testing.

In this module, you'll explore how testing is integrated into diverse development approaches, delving into concepts like test-first methods and DevOps. You'll also gain insight into various test levels, types, and maintenance testing, providing you with a comprehensive grasp of testing strategies within software development.

Static testing is a process where software is not executed but evaluated, often manually via reviews. In contrast, dynamic testing involves running the software. Static testing can also use automated tools, termed static analysis, to identify issues before dynamic testing. This is often integrated into continuous integration frameworks. Code linters, a type of static analysis tool, check code for issues such as coding style or memory leaks. Static testing aims to improve quality and detect defects, and involves testers, business representatives, and developers. It can examine various work products, except those difficult for humans or inappropriate for tool analysis.

Learn about test planning and risk management. We will cover Test Monitoring, Control, and Completion as well as Configuration and Defect Management.

Learn about and apply black-box, white-box, experience-based, and collaboration-based test techniques. We'll also learn how to choose and apply the most appropriate test technique for your given project situation

In this module, we will focus and elaborate on the tasks that are particularly relevant for Test Analyst roles.

Learn the application of test techniques for evaluating the software quality characteristics.

Learn to use common test tools, such as Postman, Selenium, Cucumber, Cypress, and many others.

Today's about security testing. We will cover the top-10 most common web vulnerabilities as reported by the OWASP Foundation. We will also practice with some common pen-testing tooling.

Learn how Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) is an agile software development methodology that focuses on delivering working, tested software that meets stakeholder requirements. It is a collaborative approach that uses a cycle of interactions with well-defined outputs.

Learn to use tools like Selenium, Postman, and other useful tools to aid you in automated testing. You will also learn the basics of setting up a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline.
