Course Overview

The world of software development demands a high level of reliability, functionality, and security—making Quality Assurance (QA) a critical part of the software lifecycle. Understanding QA from the ground up empowers aspiring testers, developers, and even project managers to ensure that applications meet user expectations and business standards. This course provides a comprehensive foundation in QA methodologies, tools, and processes, giving learners a structured path into one of the most in-demand roles in the tech industry today.

This course begins with the fundamentals of the software industry, introducing SDLC, Agile practices, and the key responsibilities of a Scrum team. It then dives into the core principles of manual QA, covering bug identification, test case design, exploratory testing, and the use of tools like JIRA. Learners are guided through essential programming skills in both C# and Java, which are prerequisites for modern automation testing. The course then explores Selenium automation with C#, REST API testing using Postman, and culminates in a bonus module on cybersecurity and ethical hacking, covering penetration testing techniques, OWASP standards, and bug bounty insights.

By the end of this course, learners gain hands-on QA expertise, practical automation skills, and foundational cybersecurity awareness—preparing them for real-world QA roles.
