Get QA Automation Training in Canada 
 
The growing demand for software and application development has led to an increasing need for 
competent testers. Rather than relying on manual software testing measures, development teams 
are looking into automated software testing to speed up the process and enhance the quality of 
the end product. Test automation training could help you qualify for the job, especially if you are 
looking to boost your credentials as a software tester. 
 
Qualities of a good software test 
automation training program 
 
Not every automation training program is 
alike. Some schools follow a more 
competent curriculum that is based on 
industry standards. As you start looking 
for a class, consider one that is good for 
at least 110 hours, with 14 lectures, and 
one that will award you with a certificate 
in software test automation. 
 
Also, look for a practical course that will cover the widely used automation tools, such as REST 
API, Selenium WebDriver with TestNG and Java, Unified Functional Testing (UFT), Soap UI, and 
WebLOAD. Moreover, it should train you to make working automated scripts and teach you to run 
them in a specially designed school test environment. 
 
Check out the online programs 
 
Automation training in Canada has been traditionally held in classrooms, but there are schools 
that also provide online learning programs. Online training may be convenient for you, especially if 
you want to save time. Just be sure to check the requirements and the qualities of the class. 
Some training programs are not registered with the PTIB (Private Training Institutions Branch) of 
the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills, and Training, which means that they have not been 
reviewed by the PTIB. 
 
Is this the right program for you? 
 
Automation training might prepare you for a more rewarding career in software quality assurance 
testing. It may even give you the credentials to get hired by notable software development firms 
and teams. However, if you are not sure about taking the class, consider looking into schools that 
can help you make an informed decision. Some of them provide a readiness survey you can 
answer online, and you will get a personalized report that can help you identify your social style 
and strengths, as well as the positions and training that may suit you to your best capabilities.
