Quality Assurance(QA)

Course Overview:

What is Software Quality Assurance (SQA)?

Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is a process that ensures that developed software meets and complies with defined or standardized quality specifications. It’s an ongoing process that involves the  entire  software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Manual Testing

Manual testing is a method of SQA where testers manually execute test cases without using any   automation tools. It involves checking the software manually for defects by a tester who takes over the  role of an end user.

 4 Months (192 Hours) of Long Professional Course.

Prerequisites: Students should have at least a high school diploma or GED, along with good computer knowledge.
