Welcome to Software Quality Control and Management:
Get ready to explore how quality assurance brings software to life! In this course, you’ll learn what Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is, why it matters, and how it fits into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
You’ll see where development and QA teams collaborate to deliver reliable, high-performing products. You’ll dive into QA methodologies like Waterfall, Agile, and DevOps, discovering how testing adapts to each approach.
You’ll also learn about the different phases and types of QA testing, from manual checks to full automation. Hands-on practice is a big part of this course—you’ll use two of the most common automation tools in the industry, UFT (Unified Functional Testing) and Selenium, to build your testing skills.
By the end, you’ll also explore career opportunities in IT and QA, helping you understand how your new skills can open doors in the tech world.
Lehrplan
- Career Management & Interviewing Skills & Leadership
Career management is the ongoing process of planning, developing, and directing your professional path to achieve your goals and maximize your potential. It's much more than just finding your next job—it's about taking intentional control of your career trajectory over the long term.
- Selenium
In this module, we will focus on the Selenium automation tool. Selenium is an open-source framework for automating web browsers, widely used for testing web applications across different browsers and platforms. It supports multiple programming languages including Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, and Ruby, making it accessible to diverse development teams.
- Back-End Testing & DBMS
In this module, students will explore back-end testing and database management systems (DBMS) testing fundamentals. The module covers the distinction between front-end and back-end testing, three-tier architecture, and comprehensive database testing methodologies including structural, functional, and non-functional testing approaches. Students will also develop essential leadership attributes and communication skills necessary for effective software QA professionals, including an understanding of personality types and their application in team environments.
- Cloud Computing, QA Metrics, and Blockchain
In this module, we will be discussing cloud computing and QA metrics.. Cloud Computing is an important topic about the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the internet ("the cloud") to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. We will discuss different cloud models and the testing types within different cloud types.
- Usability, UX Testing & Artificial Intelligence
In this module, we will discuss usability testing and user experience and the testing requirements and the testing techniques. We will discuss how important usability and user experience testing have become in ensuring the users have a great experience visiting web sites.
- Additional Testing Concepts
In this module, we will review some additional topics related to testing. In the vast field of QA, IoT testing presents a huge challenge both for testing and security. We will look at these topics more, and also talk about a couple of other topics such as the gaming industry and the associated testing, as well as cyclomatic complexity.
- Software Certifications
In this module, we will discuss various certifications in software QA and testing. In the competitive landscape of software quality assurance, professional certifications serve as tangible evidence of your expertise, commitment to the field, and understanding of industry-standard practices. Whether you're launching your QA career, transitioning from manual to automation testing, or advancing into leadership roles, certifications can significantly enhance your professional profile and open doors to new opportunities.
