Goal
Upon completing our Manual Testing Course, students will be equipped with the essential skills to start their journey as manual software testers. They’ll demonstrate proficiency in manual testing techniques, including designing test cases, executing test scenarios, and reporting defects effectively. Students will gain the ability to work independently on basic testing tasks and collaborate seamlessly with peers. Additionally, they’ll be prepared to integrate into development teams utilizing agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban, while familiarizing themselves with common tools used in the industry.
To whom do we recommend this course?
This course is recommended for individuals new to the IT sector, offering a perfect entry point for beginners seeking to explore the field of manual software testing. It’s also beneficial for those with some prior knowledge who wish to reinforce their understanding of fundamental concepts. By providing a comprehensive review from the ground up, students can establish a strong foundation to confidently advance to more complex topics.
Prerequisites
No prior IT programming knowledge is required to enroll in this course. However, basic everyday computer skills are necessary, including familiarity with basic Windows functions (such as file explorer), proficiency in using an internet browser (such as Google Chrome), and the ability to install and uninstall programs.
While having two monitors is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended for all our courses. Our sessions are interactive, requiring students to actively watch the instructor and participate in exercises. Having dual monitors enhances the learning experience, allowing students to follow along more effectively.
