Scrum framework, ceremonies & artifacts
Manual testing, test plans, test cases & RTM
Bug life cycle & defect tracking in JIRA
Learning outcomes
Plan and document testing for any feature
Track and triage defects like a pro
Collaborate confidently inside Agile/Scrum teams

02
Module 02
Programming Foundations with Java
Learn Java from zero — the language behind your automation scripts — with real object-oriented programming, collections, and file handling.
Turn scripts into professional frameworks — structure tests with TestNG and JUnit, write Behavior-Driven tests in Cucumber, and manage builds with Maven.
What you'll learn
TestNG annotations, assertions, groups & listeners
Data-driven & cross-browser testing
BDD with Cucumber — features, hooks & tags
Maven lifecycle & script execution
Learning outcomes
Structure large suites with TestNG & JUnit
Write readable BDD tests in Cucumber
Manage builds and runs with Maven
What you'll build
A BDD automation framework
A reusable Cucumber + TestNG framework driven by Maven.
Tools you'll use

05
Module 05
API & Backend Testing — SQL & REST Assured
Validate the systems behind the UI — write SQL for database testing and automate REST API testing with REST Assured to catch bugs early.
A portfolio of real frameworks, not a certificate.
Every phase ends with a working automation project you can push to GitHub and walk into interviews with. Not slides. Not a tutorial you followed along to.
MONTH1
Selenium suite
MONTH2
BDD framework
MONTH3
API + DB tests
MONTH4
CI/CD + capstone
Browser tests that run themselves.
A Selenium WebDriver suite automating real user flows across Chrome and Firefox — the core skill every SDET is hired for.
A framework, not just scripts.
A data-driven Cucumber + TestNG framework managed with Maven — readable BDD tests structured the way real teams ship them.
Backend validated end to end.
REST Assured API tests paired with SQL database checks — catching integration bugs long before they reach production.
A live pipeline + a portfolio.
Your capstone framework running automatically in Jenkins on every push — the end-to-end proof you bring to interviews.

The AI advantage
Learn the AI tools powering the future of automation testing
76% of software engineers already use AI in their workflow — and testers are next. This course doesn't just teach core automation, it adds the AI edge employers are looking for.
AI + Testing = faster QA
Use AI-driven tools to write, run, and maintain tests more efficiently — and catch more bugs, faster.
Automate smarter with AI
Auto-generate test cases, detect flaky tests, and boost automation speed with AI and Java frameworks.
AI-enhanced debugging
Use assistants like GitHub Copilot to write Selenium scripts, generate assertions, and troubleshoot on the fly.
Intelligent test analysis
Analyze logs, identify root causes, and prioritize issues by impact — with real-time AI insights.
Less guesswork, more coverage
Combine traditional QA tools with LLM-powered solutions to expand coverage and reduce manual effort.
Ship with confidence
Verify and improve reliability responsibly — the edge we train you for as systems grow.
