This course has been held as an online training course since March 2020. Further Information!


How do you know that your code works proparly after the changes you made today? How do you know your co-workers did not break the code that worked yesterday? Are you waiting to the people in the QA department to find all the issues? What if the broken part only runs once a year on 1st of January? Would you like to be called back to work for urgent maintence first thing in the new year? What if you are the QA department? Writing automated functional tests can help you reduce the risk. It can also make it much easier for you to make progress. This course provides an introduction to the world of testing with Python.
