About QS Academy
Quality Spectrum Academy is an initiative I wanted to start since inception. The purpose was to give back to the community and further the evolve this great field of testing and automation. These courses are the first step in that initiative.
No one can deny the importance of testing and automation in software development and the impact they ‘can’ have. However, I feel sometimes the return on investment, especially with automation, is not what it should be. While there are many factors behind this, A very common and strong one is to not understand the ‘why’ FIRST. Many times we start automation and then start talking about what are we supposed to achieve from this.
These courses are meant to fill that void and help new people to learn the WHY and other fundamental concepts right the first time.
Training Methodology
Over the years on my own learning journey I realized some areas which were not emphasized as much during trainings and made things difficult for me to learn. Also, my colleagues would struggle and for them too I found many times the content structure was perhaps not the best missing out on fundamentals. I could feel the need for teaching technical skills in a very simple and easy to understand terms
I make it a point to first talk about the process of evolution through which the industry went to understand the reason why things are done in a specific way. Secondly most testers don’t come from a very strong technical background and are proficient with programming concepts, covering that gap early on is fundamental to success.
Courses are delivered in person to facilitate the one to one interaction. However, depending on your organizational needs, the delivery and contents can be adjusted.
