Presentation
In application development, meeting technical specifications is a prerequisite for quality, but it is not enough. Web and mobile applications must also be reliable, scalable and maintained. Many techniques and tools can assess their quality. As a software quality manager, you face questions such as how to assure code quality, how to measure it and how it can be improved.
This 4-day application quality course addresses those questions. You will learn techniques and tools for implementing a genuine software quality process. Through continuous integration, automation and testing, you will develop the knowledge needed to analyse and resolve application problems.
The programme covers coding rules, the relevance of continuous testing and solutions to simplify your work and reduce bugs. Across 6 modules, it builds the knowledge needed to verify the quality of your web and mobile applications.
