Testimonials

The content covered a bit of everything in testing and I was able to learn areas that I didn't have previous exposure to - load testing, security testing, etc.

,

Hands on practical is very useful. Even though I am a business analyst, it was still useful to know the basics of technical testing.

,

Learning more about the different types of testing and tools used was useful. The lab work also helped to solidify the concepts.
