Software Tester to DevOps Automated Tester E-Learning Training

Before new software can be released, it has to go through testing to find and fix any possible bugs. Testing used to all be done manually and was time consuming and not always accurate. With the evolution of DevOps, testing is automated using different tools, frameworks, and scripts, and it is more reliable and much faster. Explore the different strategies, tools, and techniques to help you update your skills to become an automated tester.

This learning path, with more than 60 hours of online content, is divided into the following four tracks:

Track 1: Software Tester
Track 2: QA Specialist
Track 3: QA Lead
Track 4: Automated Tester

Track 1: Software Tester

In this track of the Software Tester to DevOps Automated Tester Journey, the focus will be on software testing for DevOps, navigating testing tools, test automation, and continuous integration.
