Quality Engineering

8 Courses
8 Hours
Skill IQ

In the modern software development landscape, quality engineering is critical to delivering reliable, scalable, and secure applications. This path equips developers and quality engineers with the skills to integrate quality at every development stage using tools like Selenium, Cypress, JMeter, and Postman ensuring robust applications in Agile and DevOps environments. Learners begin by understanding requirements-driven testing strategies with Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Cucumber enabling better collaboration between testers, developers, and product teams. This ensures that automation aligns with business needs from the start. As the learner progresses, they will gain hands-on experience with test automation frameworks like Selenium, Puppeteer, JMeter, and Postman covering UI testing. API validation, performance engineering, and DevOps integration. By the end of this path, learners will be equipped with the technical strategic skills to build a scalable, maintainable, and high-quality test automation strategy ensuring seamless software delivery in modern engineering environments.
