Learn Basic to Advance JIRA for Testers/QA/Test Manager-2026 (Udemy.com)

Setup Jira Trial Account | Bug Tracking, Task Management & Agile/Scrum Project Management using JIRA | Realtime Examples

Created by: Testing World

Last updated August 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 308 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a Jira course built around software testers. It runs about 9 hours over 86 lectures and 10 sections. It starts with setting up a free trial account, then moves through bug reporting, valid and invalid defect life cycles, searching issues and task workflows. Later sections cover epics, stories and sprints, plus test management and test cases. The audience list also names developers and managers, but the content leans hard toward QA, and some testing background is expected before starting.

Reviewers like the delivery. Students call the teaching from Testing World clear, to the point and easy to follow, and one said it was far more detailed than the Jira videos on YouTube. A QA reviewer singled out the Zephyr plugin coverage as the best part and found the test case section useful for newbies. The complaints are steady, though. Jira's signup screens have changed, and a few students had to google the account setup. Some videos have background noise. The final section is legacy material on an older Jira, and reviewers say it overlaps earlier sections and looks different from the main videos.

The course was last updated in August 2026, and the 4.5 rating from 308 reviews is solid. Still, there are no quizzes or exercises, so practice depends on your own trial account. One critic calls it a screen tour rather than real training, and another wanted advice on running team projects. As a quick, tester-focused start in Jira it works well. Managers and Scrum Masters who want process guidance should look elsewhere.

Best forManual testers and QA newbies who want to log bugs, track test work and use Jira the way a testing team does.
Skip it ifYou want team management best practice, or screens that match today's Jira exactly.

Pros

  • Covers Zephyr test management, which a QA reviewer called the best part, plus a long test case section
  • Valid and invalid defect life cycles are shown end to end in a practice trial account
  • Reviewers call the teaching clear, to the point and easy to follow for beginners
  • Refreshed in August 2026, with sprint, epic and backlog videos added in 2023

Cons

  • Account setup videos are dated, and some students had to google the new Jira signup steps
  • The last 20 lectures are legacy content on an older Jira and overlap earlier sections
  • No quizzes or exercises, and one reviewer found nothing on managing team projects
It has been very informative and detailed so far, much more than the Jira videos watched on Youtube. Good job Trainer

Listed for all levels, but it assumes basic testing knowledge such as bugs, test cases and requirements.

Some of the details so far are different simply because I seem to be running a different version of Jira. Its been close enough that it has not mattered for me. I'm only part way through but have followed along easily.

By R1vs-Qa on 2/21/2024

Things I enjoyed: Very good course, it provides a good understanding of Jira as a whole. Best part for me was the related to the testing features, specially the Zephyr plugin, which is extensively explained. The tutor makes an effort using examples to make everything clearer. Also useful for QA newbies is the Section8 to Understand Test Case and the Agile Basics which are good to understand the whole flow of management/testing activities. Things I didn't enjoy much: 1. Noise in the background for some of the videos, notice this was in just a few videos, most of them have a good audio quality 2. It seems latest recorded videos are from 2021, so Jira UI has changed since then, but still, you can follow the indications and try to find them in a current version (2024 in my case) 3. 25% of the content is Legacy Content, with videos prepared on a much older version, almost 2 and a half hours, so actual "updated" course is about 6.5 hours long. But as a whole, course is very useful for QAs and Testers, because it provides a complete overview of testing processes and how to implement them using Jira.

The course is well presented: To the point, easy to understand and step. The instructor knows how to deliver necessary material to the audience, QA Tester..

By Kiran kumar on 1/31/2021

over all information is good but last 8 videos were repeated videos(same concept is repeated with other faculty and the tool looks very different from the tool which shown in 1-25 videos.

By Rakhi Neema on 1/24/2021

Thank you so much thetestingworld team for this jira tutorial.it is going to be very useful for my professional career. Nice Content Nice Explanation Complete practical knowledge with good example. Thank you

By Jean-Jacques Kujawa on 4/15/2020

This course is outdated, there is a newer version of JIRA already. Though there are basic principles shared with it for it deals with the same program, you unlikely benefit much from this course unless you are a fresher. I'd still try to find an up to date course. Regards.

By Sudikshya Bisoyi on 10/31/2017

Instructor is very knowledgeable and course content is short and sweet but to the point. I recommend this course if you want quick overview of Jira essentials.

By Shruti Patil on 6/22/2017

Great course in short time! Please add similar tools for Business Analysis like creating and assigning stories, etc

By Shyamal Sen on 11/5/2016

This is a very basic tutorial. Does not show how Jira is set up, and managed. Technical and functional flow schematics, and basic system requirements would be easy and good to add.
