Continuous quality is about building quality into every step of software development. It’s not just about testing. It’s about the whole team working together and making quality part of the way you plan, build, test, and release.

This course will show you what continuous quality really looks like in practice. You’ll see why traditional models like shift-left don’t go far enough and how teams can do better when they focus on shared responsibility, collaboration, and feedback.

You’ll learn:

  • The foundations and strategies of continuous quality
  • How to bring continuous quality into every stage from planning to production
  • Practical tools, models, and metrics that help teams improve quality
  • Real-world examples and practices where continuous quality  is successful
  • How to overcome the most common continuous quality adoption challenges
  • How to keep adapting your quality practices as things change

You’ll hear from experts like Stu Day, Janet Gregory, Lisa Crispin, Barry Ehigiator, Rahul Parwal, Nataliia Burmei and Ady Stokes. Each brings you insights and shares experiences you can adapt and use. 

Throughout the course, you'll take part in short activities to help you reflect, apply what you’ve learned, and build continuous quality into your team's everyday practices.

By the end, you’ll have a clearer view of how quality can be a team effort and how you can play a big part in making it happen, no matter your role or starting point.

You don’t need deep technical knowledge, but some experience working in a software team and familiarity with basic testing or Agile practices will help you get the most from this course.
