Accelerate Your Workflow
with Streamlined Testing Processes
ting Processes
Format
Duration:
2 to 4 weeks (customized to your team’s goals and schedule)
Delivery:
Online or On-site (hybrid options available)
Format:
One-on-one mentoring, small group sessions, and hands-on project work
The dev teams struggle with:
Long feature deployment times
Inconsistent or weak test coverage
Gaps in testing culture across developers, PMs, and leadership
High costs due to late-stage bugs and poor test practices
Our workshop is built to fix that
We embed Steven Baker directly into your existing development workflow for:
On-the-Job Learning:
Learn by working directly on your current tasks and challenges. This real-time learning reinforces knowledge through practical application and direct feedback.
Embedded Learning:
Training becomes part of your daily development rhythm. Rather than taking developers out of their work, we guide them within their current environment to reinforce sustainable habits and testing strategies.
Performance-Driven Learning:
Outcomes are tracked and tied to specific KPIs, such as time-to-deploy improvements, reduction in bug rates, test coverage percentage increases, and measurable improvements in team productivity and collaboration. These metrics help teams and stakeholders quantify ROI and ensure alignment with broader business goals.
Project-Based Upskilling:
Learn by solving your real, ongoing business problems. Each team applies new skills directly to projects in development, improving both individual performance and collective outcomes. This ensures learning isn’t theoretical – it’s impactful, immediate, and tailored to your roadmap.
Before the training, we conduct a call to assess your goals.
The program is fully customized to your industry, tools, and project type.
Cut deployment timelines:
One client reduced development time from 3 months to 4 days.
Lower development costs
by catching bugs earlier.
Boost efficiency
with better workflow integration and test automation.
Establish a repeatable QA/testing framework
tailored to your environment.
Measurable Results
