Why should I choose to learn from you?

I’ve been working in software testing since 2010 and have been involved in many international projects, taking on roles such as tester, test manager, mentor, teacher, product owner and coach. For the past 6 years, I’ve been actively teaching live students while continuing my work in software testing. I’ve put my heart and a lot of hard effort into this course, spending over 12 months to make it as straightforward and interesting as possible. If you’re excited to get started into software testing, this course is crafted with you in mind!

What's the course about?

This course is an introduction, a crash course to Software Testing specifically designed for beginners. As someone who started as a junior tester, I understand the challenges of entering the field with little prior knowledge. The main objective is to offer a clear overview of software testing, introduce key terminology, and provide practical examples and exercises. Even those with several years of experience will find valuable insights and new perspectives. By the end of the course, you'll have a better sense of whether you'd like to pursue software testing further.

Who is this course designed for?

This course is designed primarily for beginners who are new to software testing. However, even those with some experience in IT or current testers will find it insightful and valuable. The content provides a fresh perspective and new insights that can benefit a range of experience levels.

Do I need a background in IT?

No, you do not need any prior experience in IT to take this course. I will explain everything from scratch. However, if you have some background in IT or testing, you may find it easier to understand the material.

Is this course worth the investment?

This course is definitely worth every penny. With my 14 years of experience in software testing, which amounts to over 30,000 hours, I dedicated an entire year to carefully creating this course to ensure it’s easy to understand. You can expect video lessons, engaging quizzes, practical exercises with detailed solutions, and extra resources to support your learning. The effort and time I’ve put into this course far exceed the cost, so you can be confident that you’ll get exceptional value for your investment.
