This class will help you understand that the mindset needed to succeed as a Quality Assurance analyst.  Regardless of your role within the SLDC, a deeper understanding of  the role of Quality Assurance and testing will dramatically improve the quality of your work and the software delivered.

Instructor Details

John McTiernan

At DT Group, we bridge the gap between business requirements and technology solutions. We do this with a focus on training and mentoring your employees to solve their own technology needs. This greatly reduces the number of items that enter the 'submit to IT and wait' cycle. Instead, as an operations owner, you have control over which projects get prioritized.



To do this, we help companies adopt what is called a Citizen Development (CD) program. Citizen development involves training your business users on tools to solve their own problems. These tools allow rapid development to occur through: screen recorders, drag-and-drop and configuration with minimal or no coding. Business users can quickly learn and adopt these tools.

I will give this course a 5 star because think it is a valuable and short enough overview of the most important concepts of the QA and I want it to reach more people like me that night need just that - an overview. Don't expect a deep dive with details. It gets to the core of the thing without unnecessary information + there are real world simple projects to make, all in 2h. The only thing that could be way better is the SOUND: it is really poor and hurt my ears + there is a lot of background noise. I suggest the author to try to remove it because the content is valuable, but this makes it literally sound worse than it is.
