Software Testing Online Course

Master software testing and engineering principles online. Learn project metrics, maintenance, and management from anywhere—no lab coats required.

Overview
Software testing is more than bug hunts and patch notes. It’s the art and science of making sure code behaves as it should—on time, on budget, and without giving developers a nervous twitch. This course offers a focused journey into the structure, strategy, and sanity of building reliable software systems. You’ll explore foundational software engineering concepts before diving into the disciplined chaos of design principles, testing strategies, and maintenance.

From managing projects to measuring progress and wrangling configurations, the course walks you through the finer points of creating systems that don’t implode under pressure. Whether you’re aiming to refine your software engineering knowledge or need a structured path to make sense of version control and metrics, this online course keeps things clear, constructive, and cleverly structured—minus the marketing fluff.
