What is this course about?

Learn the Software Testing Lifecycle (STLC) and gain practical skills in test planning, defect management, and debugging.

Who should take this course?

Beginners in QA, software developers, and anyone interested in improving software quality.

Do I need prior testing experience?

No prior experience is required. This course covers testing fundamentals and provides a solid foundation for practical testing and debugging.

Functional & non-functional testing, unit/integration/system testing, regression testing, test case writing, bug reporting, and debugging techniques.

Is this course relevant for Agile and DevOps teams?

Yes, it covers Shift Left testing and Agile testing practices for modern development environments.

Will this help my career in QA?

Yes, it equips you with skills for roles like QA engineer, software tester, and test automation professional.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Welcome to Software Testing Lifecycle (STLC) Fundamentals, a foundational course that introduces how software testing ensures quality and reliability in modern software development.

This course covers core testing concepts, testing levels and types, test planning, defect management, and debugging fundamentals. By the end of this course, you will be able to: -Explain why software testing is essential for quality and risk reduction -Identify common testing levels, types, and techniques -Apply basic test planning and test case design practices -Report and analyze software defects using standard workflows -Use structured debugging techniques to support quality delivery Through guided demos and practical examples, you will design and execute test cases, log and triage defects, and debug issues in a sample application using industry-standard tools. These activities help bridge the gap between testing theory and real-world practice. This is a beginner-friendly course for aspiring software testers, QA engineers, developers, and anyone looking to build a strong foundation in software testing and debugging. No prior testing experience is required; basic familiarity with software development concepts is sufficient.
