DOu Certified Tester in DevOps - Foundation Level (DOu CTD-FL)

Supporting testers who are entering the world DevOps: a more collaborative approach that will allow your teams to work more closely together and create an environment more accustomed to solve critical issues efficiently and overall better manage unplanned work. Join the DevOps United community and embark on the DevOps journey today!

DevOps have become a key to continuous delivery, which involves continuous integration, deployment and testing. This course is relevant for the testers who are in roles where DevOps forms a part of their responsibilities or for the testers who want to understand what DevOps means and how to implement some of the practices in their day to day work.
The Certified Tester in DevOps is an all-level course, aimed at Testers, Test leads and Managers, QEs who write automation code and frameworks or are involved in CI/CD/CT.
The CTDFL course will introduce the concepts related to the DevOps mindet, followed by hands on activities that will ensure that each Learning Objective will be easily applied into the systems or applications.

Why Get Certified with DOu CTD-FL?

DevOps extends our perspective beyond just development and testing activities. It emphasizes cross-functional collaboration by engaging roles across the entire software delivery pipeline, including configuration management, deployment, continuous monitoring, and support functions. This shift necessitates a transformation in both our testing approach and the test types we apply—integrating continuous testing into CI/CD workflows— and calls for tighter integration and collaboration across traditionally siloed teams.

Given the widespread adoption of Agile, it is essential to understand how DevOps integrates within Agile practices. This course addresses these interconnections while also covering enabling tools and technologies. It highlights capabilities such as rapid test environment provisioning through virtualization and containerization (e.g., Docker), as well as the orchestration of automated build, release, and deployment processes using common DevOps tools and infrastructure-as-code practices.

You will be able to...

Align Testing with DevOps Goals
Understand both business and technical drivers of DevOps and how continuous practices (integration, delivery, deployment) influence test strategies.
Embed Testing within DevOps Pipelines
Identify the role of testing within DevOps workflows and implement it as an integral part of CI/CD pipelines.
Implement Test Automation
Apply automated testing and deployment to enhance the speed and reliability of software delivery.
Utilize DevOps-Specific Test Approaches
Use test types and levels that are tailored for DevOps environments (e.g., canary releases, toggles, dark launches).
Master Toolchains and Practical Skills
Gain hands-on experience with commonly used DevOps tools (e.g., Docker, Jenkins, Git, Selenium, Nagios) for configuration, automation, monitoring, and testing.
Understand Cloud Integration
Grasp the fundamentals of cloud computing and its synergy with DevOps practices, including virtualization, containers, and service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
Stay Future-Ready
Recognize emerging trends and the future direction of continuous testing and DevOps evolution.
