You will learn to identify and differentiate between critical testing types, including smoke, regression, and exploratory testing, and understand their unique roles in the development lifecycle. Through practical, hands-on instruction, you will gain proficiency in executing manual test cases, meticulously documenting results, and attaching supporting evidence like screenshots and logs directly within Jira. The course emphasizes clear communication, enabling you to effectively explain testing objectives and outcomes to peers and stakeholders.

Learners will explore the "why" behind systematic testing and learn to distinguish between essential testing types—smoke, regression, and exploratory. Through engaging scenarios and real-world examples, this module builds the foundational knowledge needed to communicate effectively and make strategic decisions within a QA team.
