Course Overview

Launch your software testing career with a practical, modern curriculum designed to meet today's industry demands. This course bridges the gap between foundational QA theory and hands-on execution. You won’t just learn how to identify bugs—you’ll learn how to operate inside an Agile development team, report and track issues using Jira, validate backend data with Postman, and supercharge your testing speed using ChatGPT for test design, edge-case generation, and documentation.

Through detailed walk-throughs of two full-scale real-world applications—a Learning Management System (LMS) and an E-Commerce platform—you will gain authentic domain knowledge and end-to-end testing experience that directly translates to your resume and technical interviews.

What You Will Learn (Key Highlights)

• End-to-End Manual Testing Foundations: Master the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), testing types, and test design techniques (Boundary Value Analysis, Equivalence Partitioning).

• Agile & Scrum in Action: Understand sprints, standups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospective meetings from a QA perspective.

• Hands-on Jira Workflows: Create user stories, draft defect reports with clear reproduction steps, assign severity/priority, and manage bug life cycles on active Kanban and Scrum boards.

• API Testing for Manual Testers: Use Postman to inspect endpoints, send GET/POST/PUT/DELETE requests, validate HTTP status codes, headers, and verify JSON response payloads without writing complex code.

• AI-Powered QA with ChatGPT: Write high-converting prompts to rapidly generate exhaustive test scenarios, write acceptance criteria, create synthetic test data, and refine defect descriptions.

• Two Real-World Case Studies:

  • E-Commerce: Test product catalogs, shopping carts, checkout flows, payment gateway integrations, and discount engines.

  • Learning Management System (LMS): Validate user role permissions (admin, instructor, student), video streaming access, course enrollment, quizzes, and certificate generation.
