Sign up for Jira on cloud, choose a scrum project template, and set up a new credit card banking project as a company-managed Scrum workspace for QA-led agile practice.

Explore how epics and user stories define high-level features and small work units in agile, and how Jira links login, dashboard, and profile epics to deliver customer value.

Create epics and user stories in Jira, link stories to epics, and manage statuses from to do to in progress to done within a credit card banking project.

Understand how Jira components organize agile teams, create and link components to user stories, and tie stories to fixed versions and releases across cloud and local server setups.

Describe a user story from the customer perspective for the login page, detailing business value, acceptance criteria, backlog, and product owner coordination on epics in Jira.

Learn how backlog grooming or refinement clarifies user stories through product owner explanations, acceptance criteria, QA questions, and team discussion, including sizing with story points and preparing mobile-friendly, testable requirements.

Learn how to create subtasks, define acceptance criteria, and assign work in Jira for each user story, including development, testing, and automation tasks within backlog refinement and sprint planning.

Learn how sprints structure agile work, timeboxing two-week iterations, allocate and complete work through story points, and coordinate backlog grooming, sprint planning, and releases in Jira.

Explore how to use the Jira scrum board to manage backlogs, active sprints, and task statuses from to do to done, with daily standups and QA sign-off.

Learn how to create bugs in Jira, track sprint progress with burndown and velocity charts, and review sprint reports to guide future improvements.

Explore how agile retrospectives, facilitated by the scrum master, capture what went well and what didn’t on team boards, and generate action items to improve the next sprint.

Explore the Kanban board in Jira, contrast it with Scrum's sprint structure, and learn how to manage backlog, to-do, in progress, and done on a single Kanban board.

Derive test cases from your project architecture to validate balance display through UI and functional testing, cross-checking with back-end databases and APIs, and cover edge cases and responsiveness.

Define tests around api-driven backends by understanding project architecture, testing api responses, and verifying data flows from database to front end through the api.

Explore how functional, API, and UI testing interrelate and performance testing fits under load. Assess how 3000 concurrent users stress an API on a single server and verify UI data.

Define test scenario, test case, precondition, and test steps with a password reset example. Show how to craft test cases for valid and invalid emails, expiry links, and Jira integration.

Document and manage test cases in Jira with the Xray app, configuring the CreditCardBanking project and adding test, precondition, and test set types in cloud Jira.

Create and organize test cases in Jira Xray by detailing test steps, preconditions, and data, attaching artifacts, and linking them to test sets for planning and test runs.

Learn to create test plans in Jira, organize backlog test cases into test sets, detail tests with steps and preconditions, and drive test execution for release-minded regression testing.

Create a test execution from a Jira test plan, mark pass or fail, document defects, and track real-time results while linking test cases to test sets and user stories.

Define a test strategy, craft a comprehensive test plan, and align testing activities with requirements, tools, environments, and staffing for agile and waterfall projects.

Develop test cases for each sprint in agile, compare with waterfall's end-to-end delivery, and plan test environment setup and test data for effective STLC.

Learn to execute tests after a build, raise and retest bugs, perform regression, secure Jira and product owner sign-off, and complete test closure with documentation and handover artifacts.

Master QA troubleshooting by diagnosing bugs with the network tab and backend API calls, and report precise root-cause details for defect creation to developers.

Learn to verify app server logs and use browser console and network tab to diagnose frontend and backend issues, trace actions with timestamps, and communicate actionable insights to developers.

Create a defect with complete bug details by documenting steps to reproduce, test data, environment, timestamp, expected vs actual results, a screenshot, and troubleshooting notes.

Define severity as the extent a defect affects the application and show four levels: critical, major, medium, and low, while highlighting the upcoming distinction from priority in e-commerce defect tracking.

Explore how to distinguish priority from severity in defects, compare their impact on software behavior, and participate in agile defect triage with product owners and developers.

Learn smart retesting after a defect fix by performing regression on related test cases and reviewing touched areas with developers, then run automated suites to ensure no new bugs.

Learn how regression testing safeguards existing functionality during agile releases by automating critical test cases and focusing on high-risk areas to ensure a stable product.

Explain smoke testing and sanity testing as largely the same, highlight their high-level scope, and show how code commits trigger automated Jenkins CI/CD checks.

Differentiate verification from validation by evaluating individual modules versus the complete application against business requirements, and follow with client-based uat after qa to certify readiness.

Learn how load testing measures response times under varying concurrent users to evaluate performance, while stress testing pushes limits to reveal stability and breaking points for tuning.

Differentiate functional from non-functional requirements and explore performance, scalability, usability, security, and recoverability through load, stress, and reliability tests in an agile team.

Contrast black box and white box testing by examining UI-only validation versus code-level unit and integration tests. Align testing with the test pyramid to prioritize backend verification over UI checks.

Derive and execute comprehensive test cases for an e-commerce sample app, validate cart functionality from add to cart through empty-cart messaging, and log defects in Bugzilla for remediation.

Summarizes test case design for the ecommerce app: header logo validation against the given image, search for ca, limited offer navigation, and negative and order checks.

Execute all test cases for the shopping cart, verify item addition, cart persistence, and price totals, log failures as defects, and update result status in Bugzilla.
