Hi Readers,
In this blog post I will discuss about Ajay Balamurugadas's Software Testing training and what I learnt from his first class.
Ajay is providing this platform for learning Software Testing through his Skype training. Its well designed by him for both freshers as well as experienced folks interested in Software Testing. And the best part of it is, ITS FREE! It is a Skype chat based session, consisting of around 15 sessions. This course will cover the concept and hands-on on Mind maps, Testing Concepts and Tools helpful in Testing. Each session is of around 75 minutes. For more details about the outline of the course please visit this link.
On 29th Jan, while browsing through Facebook an status update by Ajay caught my attention. It was a Mind map about a new batch starting on 31st Jan by Ajay, for online Software Testing training through Skype. Immediately I logged into Skype and pinged Ajay, requesting him to add me for his training program. The very next day Ajay pinged me back positively and added me to the newly created Skype group, for the Software Testing training. And I eagerly waited for the training to start on 31st Jan.
Ajay's Software Testing training - Session 1:
The session time is scheduled for 22:00 to 23:15 IST, every week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On 31st afternoon I logged into my Skype account to check for any update on the training. The first thing I noticed in the training group is, there were many participants from around the world too, waiting for the training to start. Meanwhile there was an interesting discussion going on between few people about Agile Model (Scrum). I enjoyed the chat and I must say I learnt few new things about Scrum.
At 22:00 hrs, Ajay started the session by welcoming everyone to the Testing training. Everyone introduced themselves and there it began. For the co-ordination with the whole group Ajay made a Google group, through which mails can be sent to all the participants at once. Once all participants registered with the group, Ajay started with Mind map. We came to know about what is Mind map, where it is used etc. Another important thing we did was, we learnt how to co-ordinate with other participants fast and working in team. We paired up as a team for the upcoming tasks. He also suggested few tools for working with Mind maps, for example: Freemind, Xmind, MindMeister. Through the discussion, I came to know about different view of different participants on a topic. Which can be said as an diverse way of learning something. The first session ended quite fruitful and I signed out with a new concept of Mind map with me.
The next session will be about creating a Mind map, while working with a team member. So, I am looking forward for our second session tomorrow.
Before concluding this blog post I would like to share what I learnt from the first session. My learning are as follows:
1. What is Mind map and its uses.
2. How to co-ordinate with other participants real fast.
3. How to form a team.
4. And of course the need of fast typing, as its a limited time session we need to type fast to express our views/ ideas, so that we can have more time for learning.
Herewith, I conclude this blog post. Stay tuned for more updates!
Happy Learning!!!
