Discover common ci/cd terms such as build, branch, merge, diff, change set, feature toggle, git, main, production, release candidate, repository, single branch development, and staging.
Learn how to read and organize functional requirements for agile QA, using Gherkin to write clear, testable scenarios with given-when-then, supporting CI/CD and living documents.
Explore how mockups and design documents visualize the user interface and connect with functional requirements to guide development and testing, and foster QA–dev collaboration in agile and CI/CD contexts.
Explore common testing strategy aspects such as acceptance criteria, user permissions, form validation, navigation, responsive design, and user notifications, with MVP iteration and security considerations.
Integrate security testing into your testing strategy by applying threat modeling, data classification, and access control checks, including deep linking, login risk, and permission tests, with risk assessments.
Learn to design effective test cases aligned with functional requirements and mockups, explore session-based testing over manual scripts, and prepare for user acceptance testing in regulated environments such as healthcare.
Learn how QA and developers collaborate in an agile, CI/CD environment to test in parallel, use session-based testing, and base testing on functional requirements for faster, higher-quality software.
