Course Coming June 2021
Skills you will learn:
Learn how visual task analysis can help you to break down application and identify opportunities for automation
- Richard BradshawMost software that we create is a complex web of different APIs, libraries, and tools, all talking to one another to offer our end-users' services and behaviours. Each of these moving parts of a system comes with risks, risks that we can help mitigate using automated regression checking. But how do we identify what automated checks to create, which layer should we target? In this course, we'll look at how we can use Visual Task Analysis to:
- Break down a system into its component parts
- Learning how each component works as part of the critical flows through a system
- Map risks to each of component part that can be mitigated with automated regression checking
So join us as we take a deep dive into how our systems work to identify what checks we can and will automate
This course is part of the Automation in Testing Pathway.
