This course guides you towards becoming an accomplished Ethereum QA Engineer
This comprehensive, online course has been developed to meet the growing need for blockchain-focused QA Engineers. The course provides hands-on examples of this type of rigorous exploratory testing and explains how to set up different test environments in order to do it.
A project built on the Ethereum blockchain may look identical to a normal, centralised application or API. But the differences are so great that the whole quality assurance process needs to be approached in a completely different way, requiring the QA engineer to dig deep into the code and conceptualise ways of pushing the underlying smart contracts to their limits with different data inputs and variations in network conditions and transaction fees.
You will learn to specify acceptance criteria that can later be used as the basis for automating your acceptance tests, with quizzes, screencasts and exercises to test your understanding of the requirements. Test automation is a critical part of the QA process. You will learn about the most common test libraries and how to run your suite in a continuous integration environment.

How it works
Is this course for me?
- This course is designed for test automation engineers or developers with over one year's experience working in the field.
- Recommended experience:It is a prerequsisit of the course that you have either compantelted the B9lab Ethereum Developer course, or an equivalent programme. You need to know how to write a simple smart contract and run a local Ethereum node.
- Requirements: A computer with at least 8 GB RAM and 50GB free hard-disk space.
- Workload:You can take this course at your own pace or in a cohort with other participants. There is roughly 50-60 hours of materials, quizzes and projects (plus extra reading suggestions for areas that really grip you).
- If you take the course as part of a cohort, expect to spend 6-8 hours a week for 6 weeks. The examination project should also take you a minimum of 24 hours.
