DOU CERTIFIED TESTER IN DEVOPS FOUNDATION LEVEL (DOU CTD-FL)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

DOu Certified Tester in DevOps is a foundation specialist level course for testers involved in DevOps. It aims to support participants in moving one step further into the Agile world, into the DevOps code-based work methodology and culture. You will learn how to use new tools and practices to reduce the traditional distance between programming and systems technicians, in order to build, test, and release software faster and more reliably. This new collaborative approach, DevOps, will allow your teams to work closer together, bringing greater agility to your business and notable increases in your productivity, enabling you to solve critical issues quickly, and better managing unplanned work. This is a practical certification that consists of some theory, and mainly practical, hands-on applications and use of tools, as well as demonstrations, groups and/or individual exercises.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

• Understand the business and technology drivers, as well as the methodologies and practices used by DevOps and Continuous Movement in order to create a test strategy
• Identify and understand the influence of testing on the DevOps movement, how testing is implemented in DevOps and how DevOps fits in various SDLCs
• Apply automated deployments and automated continuous testing into continuous integration and continuous delivery workflows
• Apply test types and levelsspecific to DevOps cycles
• Apply through hands-on exercises and the interactive practice use of configuration management, continuous: testing, integration, deployment, delivery and monitoring, implementing common DevOps tools such as Dockers, Jenkins, Puppet-Chef/Ansible, Nagios, Cucumber, Selenium, Git/GitHub
• Understand the basics of Cloud Computing and how it is useful in DevOps
• Understand the direction and trends related to the future of continuous testing

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Learning objectives (LOs) are brief statements that describe what you are expected to know afterstudying each chapter. The LOs are defined based on Bloom’s modified taxonomy as follows:
• Remember. Some of the action verbs are Remember, Recall, Choose, Define, Find, Match, Relate, Select
• Understand. Some of the action verbs are Summarize, Generalize, Classify, Compare, Contrast, Demonstrate, Interpret, Rephrase
• Apply. Some of the action verbs are Implement, Execute, Use, Apply

HANDS-ON OBJECTIVES

Hands-on Objectives (HOs) are brief statements that describe what you are expected to perform or execute to understand the practical aspect of Learning.

The HOs are defined as follows:
