Who this complete software testing course 2024 is for, and who it is not for

Suitable for starting in QA and quality assurance

• Beginners seeking core software testing principles.
• Professionals in related areas (development, analytics, support) transitioning to testing.
• Junior testers who want to systematize knowledge and test design practices.
• Teams introducing quality assurance processes and test documentation.

Not suitable for experienced software testers
