QA Processes & Methodologies
Master the frameworks and processes that ensure quality across every IT project.
Welcome to QA Processes & Methodologies, your guide to the fundamental processes and methodologies driving successful Quality Assurance (QA) practices in modern IT projects.
Lesson 1 examines the critical integration of QA within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). You'll learn how QA activities enhance each development phase—from requirements gathering to deployment—ensuring robust software delivery.
In Lesson 2, we provide an in-depth analysis of Waterfall and Agile methodologies from a QA perspective. Discover how these frameworks shape testing strategies, influence quality metrics, and impact project outcomes in diverse organizational contexts.
Lesson 3 unveils the four pillars of effective QA: Planning, Execution, Evaluation, and Reporting. Master practical techniques for each phase, including designing comprehensive test plans, executing efficient testing cycles, systematically evaluating results, and creating impactful quality reports.
This course is essential for QA professionals, project managers, and developers aiming to enhance their quality assurance capabilities. By mastering these methodologies and frameworks, you'll be equipped to implement robust QA processes, reduce defects, and deliver superior software products that consistently meet and exceed stakeholder expectations.
