Course Overview
About Course
In today’s tech landscape, software quality is non-negotiable—and this 40‑hour Software Testing Master Program equips professionals with the knowledge, tools, and practical experience to ensure it. You begin with foundational manual testing—learning SDLC/STLC, black-box and white-box methodologies, test planning, and defect lifecycle management. Standard testing frameworks such as Agile testing and ISO/IEC 29119 are integrated to instill industry-level rigor .
Automation is a major focus: participants learn Selenium for both Java and Python, covering everything from WebDriver basics and locators to TestNG, Maven, and implementing grid-based tests. Our syllabus also includes API testing with Postman, mobile automation via Appium, and performance testing using JMeter, giving you full-stack QA capabilities .
Advanced modules dive into security testing and modern frameworks like data-driven, keyword-driven, mutation testing, and test-driven development—carefully selected to reflect emerging best practices . We incorporate DevOps through continuous testing workflows: Jenkins pipelines that execute integrated tests and deploy reports, even exploring gamified CI elements to keep quality at the core .
The capstone project synthesizes all learning into a real-world suite—automating UI, API, performance, and security tests for a sample application, complete with documentation and professional reporting. Guided by experienced instructors, learners receive live feedback, career preparation, resume-building support, and access to hiring networks .
This program is ideal for software testers, QA engineers, developers transitioning to testing, and professionals aiming to work in agile and DevOps-enabled teams. Graduates emerge job-ready—skilled in manual and automated testing, performance metrics, security assessments, TestNG/Maven pipelines, and continuous integration. Whether preparing for advanced certifications or stepping into senior quality roles, you’ll be equipped to elevate software reliability in any environment.
