On 6.10.2023, an online meeting was held between 1-3 year students of the educational program “Economic Cybernetics and Business Analytics” (gr. EK-31, EK-21, E-11/2ek) with Mykola Boboshko, the founder of the QALight Training Center, which is one of the leaders in the IT education market in Ukraine and provides training in more than 20 different disciplines.
The main objective of the center is to train highly qualified IT specialists who have not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience.
During the meeting, M. Boboshko demonstrated the algorithms of a tester’s work on finding bugs, recording bug reports in the defect tracking system, developing test cases, showed a trailer of a tester’s working day, answered questions from the participants about QA technologies, competitive interviews, employment, and requirements for candidates.
The third-year students of group E-11/2ek study the discipline “Introduction to Software Testing” in the autumn semester (teacher – Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor V.
