Kaushal Kedia - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect at Accenture
Facilitates professional development with comprehensive assessments and customizable learning materials
Pluralsight has something called Technology Quotient, TQ, which includes very good sessions. What's noteworthy is that, if I am unable to answer any question during an assessment, it shows which part of the video covers the answer. This makes it convenient as I don't have to search through the entire video. Additionally, the assessments are quite good, providing valuable feedback on areas that may require improvement.
reviewer2789682 - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Developer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Structured testing mindset has improved early bug detection and automated cloud-based reviews
QA Cloud Training & Certification reduces manual debugging and manual QA testing. Developers can catch errors first. Once I learned these techniques, I shared best practices with my teammates and showed the juniors cloud testing tools, strategies, and automation flows that they can use while reviewing pull requests with the QA cloud mindset. Every developer should go through this course. It's not only for Quality Assurance engineers. Every developer should take it to have the skills of both QA and developer combined. I took this course outside of my organization as a personal initiative. It helped me build scalable testing automation frameworks to run tests in cloud environments. I can write test cases and do other coding instead of manually testing. Testing APIs, UI, and microservices has become much more effective. After learning from this course, I know that I can rely on faster and safer releases. It has reduced regression risks, including code-breaking fixes. It has better helped me test the coverage of builds in distributed systems. Before, I learned about bugs manually, and now my frameworks are working effectively for this.
