Description

Testing is an integral part of creating quality software, but exactly how does one become a successful software tester? Software testing is an odd position in the development world, in that there’s not really a formal path or set of credentials that necessarily qualify you as a software tester. In this course, engineering manager Ash Coleman—who herself swapped out a career as a chef for a quality-control leadership role—details the various career paths and trajectories of software testers, from the wide variety of backgrounds they come from to the different specializations they can pursue. Whether you’re currently a software tester wondering where your career might go, or in a completely unrelated field and looking to get into software testing, this course can be your baseline guide as you navigate your options.

Instructor's Courses

I am a technical cultural strategist who propels organizational objectives to better a company’s diversity, inclusion, and belonging practices by enhancing access, equity, and people development programs. My background in engineering has provided me an uncommon and valuable insight into the unique challenges faced by engineering teams and organizations alike. As a distinguished change agent, I am known for developing informative and engaging trainings, workshops, and educational collateral surrounding leadership, anti-racism, unconscious bias, and diversity practices tailored to technology-driven environments. My career has been an amazing example of the many shifts a life can take. Throughout all my roles I have stayed consistent in my desire to mediate between business and digital fronts, as well as drive diversity and equity change through influence, education, collaboration, recruitment, and empowerment. Above and beyond my day-to-day professional experience, I have been invited to present my technical expertise and unique industry perspective at esteemed conferences and workshops, including DEITECH Conference, Women Impact Tech, Test Masters Academy, European Testing Conference, and Let’s Test South Africa. ➡️ LET’S CONNECT: Please contact me through LinkedIn or at [email protected]
