SmartBear for Test Automation

Quickly improve your test automation and test-driven development capabilities with SmartBear training.

The SmartBear platform is a comprehensive suite of tools that help developers implement contemporary software deployment frameworks. While the range of possible applications run the gamut, this two-day course will focus on the set of test automation and test-driven development (TDD) tools available as part of the SmartBear experience. With each tool introduced, a hands-on approach with tangible deliverables will be taken, making certain of full participation and the imparting of skills you can use on the ground. 

The intersection between TDD and SmartBear's suite of code test and optimization tools should become apparent as you participate in the course. Along with that, you'll gain insight into the advantages and methods of implementation using best practices. All of these are key knowledge and skill points for competence as a productive member of a software development team today. 

No prior usage of SmartBear, the tools it includes, or any of the frameworks discussed will be assumed.
