Why IT Training Makes the Difference in QA

IT training determines whether your QA team detects defects early or reacts too late. We often see stacks of tools with little impact. What’s missing is methodological rigor and a shared testing framework. Properly aligned IT training connects test design, automation, and reporting into a robust practice. As a result, defect leakage decreases, release frequency increases, and discussions with development become objective and fact-based. In this article, we show what truly works, what you can leave out, and how to deliver visible results within weeks—through IT training.
