Foundation modules

First half of the curriculum — core fundamentals and the most common day-to-day skills.

QA Fundamentals

What testers actually do, test pyramid, types of testing, exploratory vs. scripted, defect lifecycle.

Manual Testing & Test Design

Test cases, test plans, equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, exploratory charters.

Selenium WebDriver

Locators, waits, Page Object Model, cross-browser, Selenium Grid, debugging flaky tests.

Playwright

Modern API, auto-waits, tracing, codegen, mobile viewport, parallel execution, MCP server integration.

Cypress

Component testing, network stubbing, custom commands, fixtures, CI integration, video on failure.

Manual TestersLevel up from manual to fully automated test engineering.

FreshersEnter QA with both manual and automation skills — strong hireability.

DevelopersBecome a 'developer in test' — high demand in modern engineering orgs.

Career SwitchersMove into QA from any technical or detail-oriented background.

Advanced modules

Second half — production patterns, real-world operations, and the senior-level depth.

API Testing

REST basics, Postman collections, Newman, REST Assured, schema validation, contract testing with Pact.

BDD with Cucumber

Gherkin syntax, step definitions, scenarios, data tables, hooks, BDD anti-patterns.

Performance Testing

JMeter test plans, k6 scripts, load vs. stress vs. soak, percentiles vs. averages, results analysis.

Mobile Automation

Appium architecture, locators on Android & iOS, gestures, real-device vs. emulator, parallel runs.

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions, parallel test runs, test reports, slack notifications, flake quarantine, the test ownership model.
