Korshub's take

A practical on-ramp into QA, no coding required

Pitched as a "back door" into the tech industry, this three-hour course frames software testing as one of the more accessible ways into tech, since, unlike development roles, it doesn't require learning a programming language. The course uses everyday, relatable examples, including references to The Simpsons and car dealerships, to explain testing concepts simply.

Who it's for

Complete beginners considering a QA Analyst career, with no prior testing or programming background assumed.

What's covered

The software development life cycle, defects, and testing types such as functional, compatibility, localization, performance, usability, and security
Practical skills like bug triage, severity and priority, test cases, and test plans
Smoke, sanity, and regression testing, plus mobile and cross-browser testing
Positive and negative testing, boundary value analysis, and equivalence partitioning
QA interview preparation, including resumes, applying on LinkedIn, and common interview questions

Test automation is explicitly not covered, and the course is capped at three hours due to Udemy's limit for free courses.

About this course

This 3 hours course will be your first step in Testing. Software testing is a high demandable field with competitive compensation. It is also known as the "back door" to Tech World because it is the easiest way to get into the field without learning programming languages!

These days we visit hundreds of websites and a lot of mobile applications on our phones - all of those were tested before we (users) see them. Only 1 position out of 6 is filled by Tech companies are things are getting even worse...

That's why it is never been a better time to become a Software Tester (QA Analyst). This course will be your perfect start in QA.

In this course, I will use simple examples (Simpsons, car dealerships, and more) to explain to you step by step what is Testing and how easy it is to become QA Analyst.

I also cannot upload more than 3 hours of content due to Udemy limitations for Free Course, otherwise, I would. Thanks for understanding!
