What a software testing course teaches
A software testing course teaches you to verify that software works correctly before it reaches users: designing test cases, finding and reporting bugs, and automating tests so they run on every change. This three-month program covers manual testing fundamentals, test design, automation with Selenium and Playwright, API testing, performance testing and running tests inside CI/CD pipelines.

Yes. It starts with manual testing and test design, then moves into automation with Selenium and Playwright, API testing and CI integration, so you leave employable in both.
No. A dedicated module teaches the Java or Python you need for automation from scratch. If you want a stronger base first, our Python course pairs well.
Selenium with the Page Object Model, Playwright for modern end-to-end testing, Postman and REST Assured for APIs, and JMeter for performance, all run inside CI pipelines.
The foundation concepts are aligned to the ISTQB Foundation syllabus, and you receive the Cyber Warrior Certified QA Engineer certificate. The ISTQB exam itself is booked separately.
Yes. The online live format has the same tools, syllabus, project review and placement support as the Aligarh classroom, with recorded sessions.
