Software Testing: Manual, Playwright & API Automation
From manual QA to production-grade Playwright automation & Jenkins CI/CD.
A job-ready QA & SDET program built for current hiring — Playwright over legacy Selenium. You master Manual Testing, Agile Scrum in Jira, JavaScript for automation, end-to-end Playwright frameworks with Page Object Model, REST API testing with both Postman and native Playwright request contexts, Git/GitHub collaboration, and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with automated HTML reporting — capped by a complete automation-framework capstone.
Who this is for
- Freshers and CS/IT graduates targeting their first QA role.
- Manual testers upskilling to automation and SDET tracks.
- Non-IT career switchers — starts from zero with manual testing principles.
- QA engineers modernising from Selenium to Playwright.
Prerequisites
- None required — starts from zero.
- Manual testing principles taught from first principles.
- Beginner-friendly JavaScript — no prior coding expected.
Primary career path
QA Automation Engineer · SDET · Playwright Specialist · API Test Engineer
By the end of the program you can design manual test suites with RTM traceability, build a production-grade Playwright + JavaScript framework using POM with parallel and data-driven execution, automate REST API tests in Postman and Playwright, and run it all headlessly in a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline with automated HTML reports — interview-ready for ₹6–16 LPA QA roles.

Master SDLC, STLC, manual test case design, defect tracking in Jira, and RTM traceability.
Write modular, object-oriented test code in modern JavaScript using ES6 and async/await.
Build ultrafast, reliable end-to-end automation frameworks with Playwright and Page Object Model.
Automate REST API testing using both Postman and native Playwright request contexts.
Integrate test suites with Git, GitHub, and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with automated HTML reporting.
