💡 Helpful Insights & Notes

• 🗓️ The 2025 assignments are completely similar to the 2022 session assignments.
  If you’re taking the Software Testing course in any upcoming session, you can refer to previous years’ assignments to verify and understand the questions. Most assignment questions remain the same or have only minor changes — so checking older solutions can help you solve current assignments faster with better understanding and accuracy.

• 🎥 The live session conducted by the instructor just before the exam is extremely valuable.
  In that session, the instructor shares key strategies, important topics, and the overall pattern of the final exam.
  Watching it carefully can significantly improve your preparation and boost your final exam score.
