Course Description

Course Title:
TestOPS Shift Left: Accelerating Quality and Efficiency for Quality Engineers

Course Objective:
Equip QE professionals with modern tools, techniques, and mindsets to integrate Shift Left principles, leveraging AI agents, browser automation, and AutoGen to optimize quality earlier in the software development lifecycle.

Core Focus Areas

  • Shift Left Fundamentals

    • Understand the importance of catching defects early

    • Reduce cost, rework, and deployment delays

    • Align QA with development from the beginning

  • Modern QE Best Practices

    • Enforce code quality with:

      • Code reviews and static analysis

      • Test-driven development (TDD)

      • Pull Request (PR) gates and automation triggers

    • Build maintainable, defect-resistant pipelines

  • AI Agents in Testing

    • Use AI agents to:

      • Analyze test coverage gaps

      • Suggest or auto-generate test cases

      • Predict risk areas based on code changes

    • Integrate with tools like Microsoft AutoGen to orchestrate agent workflows for test creation, bug triaging, and environment setup

  • Browser-Based Testing in Shift Left

    • Automate frontend workflows using tools like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium

    • Run cross-browser tests as part of PR validation

    • Use headless browsers in CI/CD to improve speed and feedback

  • Automation Efficiency

    • Automate repetitive quality tasks like regression, integration, and smoke tests

    • Adopt pipeline-as-code for test orchestration

    • Choose the right toolchain for your team, such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps

  • Security and Prevention Techniques

    • Introduce early security practices:

      • Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

      • Threat modeling and secure code reviews

      • Integrate security checks into unit tests and CI pipelines

Expected Outcomes for QE Professionals

  • Design and lead Shift Left quality strategies across the development lifecycle

  • Collaborate with developers and AI agents to accelerate and scale test efforts

  • Implement AI-powered test generation and quality enforcement

  • Deliver secure, stable, and efficient software with confidence and speed

Instructor Details

Dan Andrei Bucureanu

Hi there, I'm Dan, and I have a genuine passion for software engineering and built-in quality.

Over my 20-year career, I've witnessed the rise and fall of various technologies, experiencing the good, the bad, and the challenges of building high-quality products. I've spent most of my career in the quality engineering space, with occasional roles such as software developer and application architect, where I've had the opportunity to explain complex topics to a less technical audience.

Even today, as an executive at a technology company, my passion remains unwavering for quality engineering, and more precisely, for spreading the word to all engineering teams on how to conduct testing effectively in modern times.

I have led more than 300 talented engineers and have personally overseen their career growth. I truly believe in empowering people and helping them to develop; this belief is also why I have decided to teach. Regarding projects, I have completed more than 100 projects across all major industries.

I am certified in all relevant quality engineering accreditations and practice what I preach. I constantly learn and explore new technologies

Non mi รจ chiaro l'approccio l'AI, sembra quasi sconsigliarlo, comunque nel complesso mi sembra molto coinvolgente

By Mircea Constantin on 4/5/2025

The material of this course is very comprehensive and very useful for anyone who wants to get a good overview on what it means automated testing.

English is obviously presenter's second language and whilst he is fluent - his accent is at times a bit hard to understand.
