Tracks or Techdegree program for QA Automation and other advice.

Hi all,

I am a QA analyst and have had some very limited exposure to various coding languages, but could I have your recommendation on a certain course if I want to learn QA automation? I'm also looking to get serious about a TechDegree track and was wondering if there was one of the four tracks that fit my needs well. I figure I can even move away from QA with whatever I find myself in.

Thanks for the help!

Ty

Hi

I'm not an expert in QA Automation but my initial thoughts when reading your question were, "Python would probably be the route to take..." So I did a quick search on indeed.com for QA Automation and straight away saw a lot of job listings asking for experience in Python. That's the beauty of Python, you can use it in a lot of industries, including, of course, web development.

Best wishes,

Mike

Hi Tywin, also check out our Introduction to Selenium, which is a very popular QA automation tool. We're working on another course for Selenium right now and will likely add some more pieces around it later this year.
