This course is a video version of the half day/full day Test Ability workshop that I present at conferences.

In the course we explore notions of Testability, Automatability, Test Ability - Technical Skill, Testing Skill etc.

There are plenty of exercises, and I encourage you to do the exercises. The workshop is interactive with lots of discussion and team discussion. The exercises in this video course are an attempt to simulate the learning process from the workshops.
