Gain the skills to ensure software reliability by mastering both manual and automated testing with real-world tools and frameworks. Using practical methods, lightweight automation tools, and QA practices for Agile and DevOps, you’ll progress from fundamentals to advanced techniques while applying your knowledge in hands-on projects. No prior experience required.
Course 1 introduces the foundations of software quality, the QA process, and essential testing types.
Course 2 focuses on practical manual testing techniques, test management, and bug reporting essentials.
Course 3 explores automation basics, performance, API, security testing, and modern AI- and cloud-based QA tools.
Course 4 helps you design strategies, apply risk-based testing, integrate QA into Agile and DevOps, and complete a capstone project simulating real-world QA work.
By the end, you will:
Design and execute test cases across different methodologies.
Create bug reports and manage defects effectively with industry-standard practices.
Build and run simple automation scripts, and explore AI- and cloud-based testing.
Apply advanced strategies and metrics to improve QA processes in Agile and DevOps teams.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout this specialization, learners will apply their knowledge in practical, hands-on projects that mirror real QA scenarios. From writing test cases and documenting defects to building simple automation scripts and running performance or API tests, each project reinforces both manual and automated testing skills. The final capstone project challenges learners to plan and execute a complete QA cycle on a real-world application—covering test strategy design, execution, defect management, automation integration, and reflection—ensuring they can confidently solve authentic quality assurance problems in modern software development environments.
