Git, the de facto standard for source version control and team collaboration, has its own jargon, best practices, and workflows, enough to keep you busy for a while. Yet these tactics will be crucial in your contribution in the workplace and in securing, protecting and archiving code.
Developers love QA engineers who know their way around code. In this course, we will not dive as deep into JS as the immersive Web Developer course, but we’ll teach you enough to be a treasured asset to your developers.
We’ll start you off with the basics – manual test writing. You’ll learn all about the various tests you can use to test for and expose application weaknesses.
Unit testing just means testing small units of a larger application as they are developed. This can help you find bugs faster. This course will teach you how to create and run effective unit tests.
You will learn how to create automated tests using Selenium and Protractor – two of the most common testing automation applications out there.
Sometimes called stress testing assesses how an application behaves when placed under different levels of demand. This course will teach you about stress testing concepts and tools.
We’ll teach you what a REST API is and how to create automated tests of performance, functionality, reliability, and security using Postman and SOAP.
Part of being an effective QA engineer is knowing how applications are developed. Agile is one of the most common development cycle methodologies. We’ll teach you all about backlogs, scrums, and sprints and how testing fits into the software development cycle.
One of the most unique things about this course is that we’ve worked with corporations to have our QA students work on actual software applications. This prepares our students with meaningful real-world know-how, experience working with a development team, and a chance to sharpen their skills.
DevMountain's expert instructors are passionate about sharing their craft and empowering the next wave of tech talent.

We typically keep our classes between 20-30 people. DevMountain has come to find that anything over 30 people takes away from learning, and anything less than 20 takes away from peer-to-peer learning and groups. We have found that 20-30 is the sweet spot.
You will learn how to write manual tests, create test suites, and automate testing for websites and APIs. You will also learn about performance testing and security testing. By the end of this course, you should be able to perform effective end to end testing.
