This program does not require any prior knowledge in the field of testing or projects' development, but it will be much easier to understand the course if a candidate has some technical background knowledge. Basic knowledge of working with computer and operating systems, an understanding of data structures and networks, basic knowledge of object-oriented programming will be a huge advantage.
The program provides an understanding of the role of testing in the life cycle of software development, from planning and writing requirements to the introduction of the product into operation. Practical exercises, homework and monitoring of theoretical knowledge provide precisely the skills needed for the job. In teaching we use issue tracking system - Jira, which is often used in real projects. Graduates who successfully complete the program can apply for the position of Junior QA (manual).

Отличная программа и тренера из Infopulse. Если какой-то момент был непонятен, то они его повторяли и объясняли столько, сколько было нужно. Домашние задания были достаточно сложными, а оценивание — строгим, но зато это позволило за 6 недель программы получить необходимый для Junior'a уровень.
The program was very well structured, all the topics needed have been included. There were many practical assignments for home work and in the classroom as well as the original way of teaching material. Our teacher Lyuba is very nice and bright person, who would not let us get bored :) I am satisfied with everything, but decided not to stop on QA, and develop in the Front-End area, in which is working right now.
QA Standard program has helped me structure my existing knowledge, gain new skills and prepare for the interview. As a result, during the course I felt the strength to change the place of work and look for a position in a large IT company. I successfully gained a QA position at Luxoft, even before the course was finished.
