How to intelligently start with software testing and deliver code to production faster - an online workshop by a testing expert

What will I learn - Presumably the most powerful software technique for delivering better code and faster: how to start cleverly with testing. Software testing is about realizing instantly the current status of your application - like a robot assistant that automatically tests your code and reports back whether all is good. Having such a friend, helps you deliver new code to production with less fear, more frequently and focus more of your time on coding new features. Testing skills are also highly appreciated by modern companies and are likely to greatly boost your career. In this workshop, you will get up to speed with testing, understand testing in a thoughtful way, practice and plan your next learning steps
