Career in Software Testing \ Automation Development with Jenkins Course

The field of software testing alongside automation development is a highly demanded area in the high-tech industry today. Studies have shown that the demand for skilled workers in this field is high and is expected to remain so in the future. Due to competition in the global market, there is a significant need to produce quality products quickly and efficiently. This is exactly where the development of automation tools comes in, streamlining processes in a way that has never been seen before.

The Jenkins course will be suitable for automation professionals, and equally suitable for programmers and developers. Therefore, this automation tool is also part of our beginner and advanced DevOps course program, in which we will learn about more automated tools for software testing as well as manual tools.
