This software testing course gives you the complete fundamentals of static testing that QA analyst and quality engineer roles demand - covering reviews, inspections, static analysis tools, and defect prevention. Start with static testing fundamentals: what static testing is, how it differs from dynamic testing, review roles and responsibilities, and the defect lifecycle. Next, master review techniques: walkthroughs, technical reviews, and formal inspections applied to requirement and design documents. Then advance into static analysis using SonarQube, ESLint, and PMD to detect code quality issues and integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines. Finally, apply everything through Agile and Waterfall QA workflows and a final code review project. By the End, You Will: - Build a full static testing process covering reviews, inspections, and static analysis workflows - Apply defect prevention strategies and QA workflows to real software development projects - Analyze code and requirements using static testing tools and structured review techniques - Design a final static testing project demonstrating software testing certification-ready QA skills Ideal For: Beginners entering QA and software testing; developers improving code quality; CS students pursuing software testing certification; anyone starting a qa testing course or istqb foundation level course journey. Enroll and build the QA skills software teams rely on.
