Modern QA Automation: The SDET's Toolkit

Ready to move beyond basic test scripts? Modern quality assurance requires a deep understanding of the entire development lifecycle, from code management to deployment pipelines. This course provides the foundational knowledge to think and work like a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET). You will learn how to build, containerize, and run automated tests within a continuous integration pipeline, using the same tools and practices as development and operations teams. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles and responsibilities that define the modern SDET role. - Manage your test code effectively using fundamental Git commands for version control. - Use Maven to build, manage dependencies, and execute your testing projects. - Create isolated and reproducible test environments for your applications and tests with Docker. - Configure a basic Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline with Jenkins to automate your test runs. - Apply fundamental cloud concepts using AWS for scalable testing infrastructure. - Practice connecting automated tests to databases for effective data validation. The course begins with foundational concepts in version control and build automation, then progresses to containerization, CI/CD, and cloud principles. Each topic is explained with clear, text-based instructions and practical examples. This course is designed for testers and QA professionals who want to transition into an SDET or full-stack automation role. No prior experience with Docker, Jenkins, Maven, or cloud platforms is required. Start building the skills for a modern QA career today.
