A free course from qarunbook

Close the handoff gap.From what was asked to what ships.

Free, practical courses from qarunbook for anyone who leads a team that builds an app. The shared words, the ideal loop, and one real feature run through it.

Four parts.One loop you can run on your own team.

Free · self-paced · 14 short video lessons, about an hour. Every term is explained the first time it is used, so you need no testing background.

By the end you can

  • Explain the core quality terms (quality, QA, QC, testing, verification, validation, defect, severity, priority, definition of done) and tell them apart in real team situations.
  • Compare the ideal workflow from "ask" to "release" for a solo builder, a small team and a large team, and name who is accountable for each step.
  • Diagnose where your own team's workflow departs from the ideal, using a list of common friction points and three baseline numbers.
  • Report an issue so it can be acted on, rate its severity and priority separately, and confirm the fix by retesting before you make a release decision.
  • Choose one small first change to your team's workflow and a way to tell if it worked.
