Before you start
You should have a basic understanding of software testing ideas. Some familiarity with how teams work in sprints or iterations will help you get the most from the course. You do not need to know a particular test tool or programming language. If you are new to agile, a short Scrum or sprint planning course first will help the ideas make sense. Try each idea on your own team’s next sprint, as practice is the quickest way to make it stick.
