Welcome to the "Exam Preparation: ISTQB CT-QDO" course!
This course is designed to help you understand the key concepts of quality engineering in DevOps and prepare for the ISTQB CT-QDO certification exam.
DevOps has changed the way modern software is developed, tested, delivered, and operated. Instead of treating quality as something that happens only at the end of the development process, DevOps encourages teams to build quality into every stage of the software delivery lifecycle.
Because of this, quality assurance in DevOps requires a broader understanding of collaboration, automation, continuous testing, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, feedback loops, tools, and modern engineering practices.
In this course, we will go step by step through the most important theoretical topics related to quality in DevOps. You will learn how QA and testing fit into a DevOps environment, how DevOps teams work, what practices support software quality, and why automation, observability, traceability, and continuous improvement are so important.
The course also includes a sample exam to help you review your knowledge and prepare more effectively for the certification.
What You’ll Learn:
DevOps Fundamentals
Understand what DevOps is, why it matters, and how it changes the way teams build, test, deliver, and operate software.
Quality Assurance in DevOps
Learn how QA fits into DevOps and why quality should be built into the entire software delivery lifecycle.
DevOps Culture and Collaboration
Understand key DevOps concepts such as collaboration, shared responsibility, breaking the wall of confusion, CALMS, and the Three Ways of DevOps.
DORA Metrics and Performance
Learn about important DevOps performance metrics and how they help teams measure delivery speed, stability, and improvement.
Continuous Testing
Understand the role of continuous testing in DevOps and how testing supports fast, reliable, and frequent delivery of software changes.
QA in CI/CD
Learn how quality assurance and testing are connected with continuous integration, continuous delivery, continuous deployment, and release on demand.
Automation in DevOps
Understand the role of automation in DevOps, including automated testing, test environments, test data management, regression testing, and quality reporting.
Manual Testing in DevOps
Learn why manual testing, exploratory testing, human judgment, and quality-focused thinking are still important in DevOps teams.
Tools and Practices
Explore key DevOps tools and practices, including CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, feature toggles, branching strategies, chaos engineering, telemetry, observability, SBOM, and containerization.
Sample Exam
Check your knowledge with a sample exam and review the most important topics before taking the actual CT-QDO exam.
