How Software Gets Built: Process for Testers
Learn how software gets built and where testing fits in it. Place testing in a lifecycle model, follow the test process for one feature from the story card to the closing report, read a Scrum or Kanban board, and choose test levels, test types and a regression set for a change. For career-switchers who know what a test and a bug report are, and for junior testers new to a team. Course 2 of the QA Engineer Path.
