NORCAL TESTING SCHOOL
NORCAL TESTING SCHOOL
​
NorCal Testing School was founded in Northern California - the heart of the IT industry
with the main focus of educating students on QA testing.
​
Within the past several years of our involvement in the IT field, we had come across a countless amount of students who expressed their desire in becoming QA engineers with one single wish - to find a bootcamp with an intimate setting that feels like an interaction with a tutor rather than a classroom. Thus, we established these courses with that consideration on top of our mind.
Our dedicated professionals are here to provide QA courses that consist of small groups giving each student a chance to get
into the field and deepen their knowledge by engaging withas a team.
All of the courses at NorCal Testing School are presented with the assumption that students are new to software development, and each topic is thoroughly broken down to offer a personalized approach in a small group environment.
​
What is Software QA?
First and foremost, QA (Quality Assurance) is the process of quality evaluation of the software product. This entails functionality, performance, productivity, and improvement of the software in order to meet the business requirements.
In simple words, for QA engineers it means to test the software application and ensure it behaves as designed.
Why is QA important in Software Development?
QA's play a significant role in the development of software products because they take a part in preventing errors from occurring early in the process which stops them from entering the implementation phase. This ensures that the software product gets delivered to the end users with the expected quality.
How can I become a QA engineer?
Becoming a QA engineer requires an establishment of certain skills and a solid understanding of the resources available. In our case, resources are the numerous tools that are designed for QA's to utilize when testing the software applications. Skills are the methodologies and best practices that QA's should engage in.
By taking courses at the NorCal Testing bootcamp, you will acquire both, the skills and knowledge needed to become a successful software QA engineer.
​
What skills or qualifications does it take to become a successful QA engineer?
Besides the role specific skills you'll gain at our bootcamp, there are some qualifications that will help you get ahead of the game. The top five traits are the ability for QA's to be detail oriented, prioritize tasks, be able to view a situation/task from different angles, motivation, and curiosity.
You may ask why curiosity? It is important to remember that the tech industry is an ever-evolving field, and curiosity is what will keep moving you in the right direction for years to come.
