Introduction to Software Quality & Testing
In this module you will learn about testing principles and how they enable thought within actions while creating software to improve the quality of your software processes. This will give an understanding of good practice in managing code and delivery. This also offers you knowledge of what can happen when there is inefficient code or redundant implementations, and how costly this can be.
Additionally, whether you make software or work with complex digital resources, quality can be an issue. The risk of poor-quality processes can mean lost versions, replicating work unnecessarily and difficulties with onboarding new staff. Within this course, you’ll learn to assess your software quality processes and judge how effective they are. It will help you identify what immediate improvements need to be made and ensure that you are working towards ISO standards compliance.
