COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
Real, live applications throughout
Every module and checkpoint is built against real apps like saucedemo.com, Swagger Petstore, restful-booker, and Sauce Labs' My Demo App.
One evolving portfolio, not isolated exercises
A single Web/API/Mobile/framework project grows continuously across all five phases, replacing a disconnected end-of-course capstone.

WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO
The skills you will have by the end of this course.
- Design and execute structured manual test plans, test cases, and defect reports using equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, and exploratory testing techniques.
- Test REST APIs manually with Postman, generate AI-assisted assertions with Postbot, and validate backend data with SQL queries.
- Practice Test-Driven Development (Red → Green → Refactor) in Java with JUnit 5 before writing any UI automation code.
- Architect a test automation framework using SOLID principles, design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Builder, Strategy), and the Page Object Model.
- Write production-quality automation code with Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, and Appium (Android and iOS).
- Automate API testing with REST Assured and integrate Web, API, and Mobile suites into a GitLab CI/CD pipeline with Allure reporting.
- Apply AI tools responsibly across the testing lifecycle, including self-healing automation and AI-assisted test generation.
- Present a real, continuously built portfolio automation framework ready for Junior QA Automation / SDET interviews.
