Software Testing & Automation
Manual testing fundamentals through Selenium, API testing, Appium, and Playwright.
10 Weeks · Beginner to Intermediate · Live Online
Automation tooling is easy to learn and easy to misuse. This course starts with what makes a test worth writing, then teaches the tools.
About this course
Manual testing discipline first, then the automation tooling that actually gets used day to day: Selenium for web, Appium for mobile, Playwright for modern web apps, and API testing with real assertions, not just status-code checks.
What you'll build
A Selenium test suite built on the Page Object Model, an automated API test suite you can run in CI, and a small mobile test suite with Appium.
What's covered
- Manual testing fundamentals: test case design, test plans, bug reports
- Bug lifecycle and test management tools (Jira, TestRail basics)
- Selenium WebDriver: locators, waits, and browser automation basics
- Page Object Model and data-driven test design
- API testing fundamentals: requests, assertions, status codes, schemas
- Automated API test suites with reusable test data
- Appium fundamentals for Android/iOS test automation
- Playwright: modern web app testing, auto-waiting, network mocking
- CI integration: running automated tests on every commit
- Test reporting and flaky-test triage

Who this is for
Beginners starting a QA career, and manual testers moving into automation.
Why this one's different
Manual testing discipline comes first — the automation tools are taught as an extension of good test design, not a replacement for it.

FAQs
Do I need coding experience?
Basic programming logic helps for the automation modules, but we teach what's needed as we go.
Selenium or Playwright — which should I focus on?
Both are covered. Selenium remains widely used in enterprise test suites; Playwright is increasingly common on newer web apps.
