CI/CD Basics for QA

CI/CD Basics for QA gives learners a structured route to understand how quality checks move through build, test and deployment pipelines and contribute useful feedback at the right stage. The learning begins with ci/cd concepts and the qa contribution before connecting the subject to from commit to release and pipeline-as-code foundations and workflow triggers. Participants read a simple workflow, add a test job, interpret logs and artefacts, distinguish fast checks from broader suites and discuss gates, flaky tests, environments and release confidence. Activities emphasise evidence, traceability and sound judgement, so participants can explain why a technique is appropriate instead of following steps mechanically. The course enables QA professionals to collaborate on pipelines without treating CI/CD as an operations-only responsibility.
