Test Planning, Execution and Analytics

Advance your QA practice by learning to strategically plan, execute, and measure testing efforts with precision. In this course, you will transition from executing tests to designing rigorous, risk-based test strategies that ensure comprehensive software coverage. You will build strong skills in creating high-quality test cases, managing test data provisioning, and optimizing existing test suites to eliminate redundancy and improve efficiency. Beyond execution, you will gain proficiency in data-driven quality management—calculating critical metrics such as pass-rates and defect density, and visualizing insights through professional dashboards. You will also apply Root Cause Analysis frameworks to identify and eliminate recurring defect patterns, delivering actionable, data-backed reports to stakeholders. Tools used include Zephyr (free 30day trial test management plugin) and Microsoft Copilot (accessible via free Microsoft account).
