A career in QA without limits

QA Auto • CI/CD • AI • Personal brand

Overall Impression:
Before participating in this workshop on automated testing, I felt at an impasse not because of an excess of knowledge, but rather due to the limitations of my own nearest development zone. This course became the key for me to understand the horizons I could explore further, providing me with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for deep diving into the world of automated testing.
The workshop program was intense and structured, covering the entire spectrum from creating test plans to manually composing API tests, their subsequent automation, developing UI tests, and finally, integrating the entire process into CI/CD pipelines on GitHub. Each stage was aimed at mastering best practices and tools currently used in the software quality industry.
Particularly valuable to me was the practical application of the knowledge gained in setting up the pipeline locally and its subsequent deployment on GitHub. This gave me confidence that I am capable of not only creating effective tests but also integrating them into the development process, ensuring continuous product quality.
During the workshop, we also learned to generate and analyze quality metrics such as Allure reports, API test coverage, and linter results. These skills allow not only assessing the current state of the project but also building strategies for its scaling and improvement.
Having completed the course, I gained not only deep knowledge and practical skills but also true inspiration to continue developing in this direction. The workshop gave me a "second wind," reinforcing confidence in my own abilities and a desire to apply new approaches and solutions in future projects. Now I definitely know how to organize the testing process, build and scale projects, ensuring high-quality software products. This experience has become a real engineering approach to problem-solving, where each step is aimed at achieving a specific goal without unnecessary distractions.

What did you like the most?
The construction of quality gates, the structure from start to finish (from the plan to the final result), understanding scaling points, and abstraction in code, rather than just a set of nonsense - building a framework.

What did you like the most?

1. Delivery of clear and structured information, no fluff.
2. Format of pre-recorded videos - great idea, better than live webinars.
3. Length of videos - perfect.
4. Video format - where both the speaker is clearly visible and audible and the code is well displayed. This is much better than 2-hour live webinars, where for 2 hours you see code and in a small Zoom window, the speaker rambles on whatever comes to mind and corrects their own mistakes on the fly.
5. Choice of topics - superb, a ready-made roadmap for working from scratch on a project.
6. Real product, which you have to deploy and run yourself using Docker scripts - great.
7. Assistance and feedback in chat

Overall Impression:
Definitely liked it. First, I love listening to Sasha. I also liked the depth of study (five years ago, I took a course on automation, but it was very basic). I liked our little chat group.

Overall Impression:
This is one of the few courses where I didn’t feel stupid, even when I encountered a topic for the first time (special regards to the topic of deploying local infrastructure).

What did you like the most?
The structured presentation of theoretical material, and how Sasha delivered it to the audience. Everything that was in the theoretical part was applied in practice. Special thanks for breaking the theory into short-duration videos, which really helped maintain focus.
