Automation testing is essentially what happens when you stop clicking through the same test cases every release and let code do it instead. Scripts and specialized tools run the checks — functional, API, regression — with the consistency and speed a human can't realistically match. What separates it from manual QA is the toolkit: programming, automation frameworks, and testing tools that make checks reusable across future releases, rather than rebuilt from scratch every time.
An automation test engineer sits at the boundary between QA and engineering. The role involves designing test cases, writing Selenium or Playwright scripts, automating API checks, and threading the resulting test suite into CI/CD pipelines. On any given day, that might also involve reading reports, tracking down failures, debugging scripts, and logging defects. Databases, test frameworks, version-control platforms, and reporting tools are part of the everyday toolkit — all done in close coordination with developers and other QA team members.
Automation coverage, coding intensity, and depth of specialization — those are the three factors that separate these paths most clearly.
| Aspect | Manual Testing | Automation Testing (this course) | Playwright Automation Testing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core focus | Exploratory & scripted manual execution | Selenium + Playwright + API test automation, broad coverage | Focused modern end-to-end + API automation with Playwright specifically |
| Coding depth | Low | Moderate to High | Moderate |
| Typical entry salary | — | ₹3–6 LPA (Entry-Level Automation Tester, per this sheet) | ₹3.5–5.5 LPA (per Playwright course sheet) |
| Uncodemy program duration | N/A | 3–4 months | 2.5–3 months |
Disclaimer: The salaries listed above are estimates. Actual numbers vary based on role, skillset, experience, city, and employer.
Across the program, learners get 3–4 months of study, 100+ live sessions, and over 150 hours of mentored learning spread through 13 modules. The opening units cover QA fundamentals and manual testing; from there the path goes through SDLC/STLC/Agile, SQL, programming essentials, Selenium WebDriver, Selenium frameworks, API testing, Playwright, CI/CD, then culminates in an automation capstone. Kolkata learners attend online by default; those preferring physical classrooms can travel to the Delhi or Noida centres.
You'll be fine if you're comfortable with computers and the web. Prior coding experience isn't required — programming fundamentals begin in Module 5, though earlier coding exposure can make things click faster. Kolkata learners attend live online classes, so a laptop and a reliable internet connection are the essentials.
Consolidate the 13 modules by skill area and the split below emerges — with foundations, Selenium, and the capstone soaking up the biggest shares.
Choose whichever batch fits your calendar — weekday or weekend. Once you enrol, your seat is locked in, and a minimum of eight fresh batches launches each month.

Over the last 14+ years, Uncodemy Edutech Pvt. Ltd. has built a training model that puts career outcomes at the front. Two physical centres in Delhi and Noida anchor the classroom experience, while live online delivery extends to learners across India. For Kolkata learners, that means full access to the Automation Testing programme without needing a local Uncodemy branch.
Inside the course, learners spend substantial time with Selenium and Playwright test suites, build API automation projects, move through testing workflows, and connect automation to CI/CD-based delivery pipelines. The dedicated Automation Testing Projects & Capstone module exists to give all these threads a single realistic project to land in.
Teaching is only one layer — assignments, hands-on projects, interview preparation, and career guidance are also built in. For eligible learners, this support aims to help prepare for relevant job opportunities through resume refinement, interview practice, and job-search assistance. Career-support terms and eligibility are clarified before enrolment.
Other courses for Kolkata learners: Kolkata-based learners may also want to explore Uncodemy's Playwright Automation Testing, Software Testing, and API Automation Testing courses.
Career guidance and placement assistance do not guarantee a job or any specific employment outcome.
The people who actually teach this course
Live instruction comes from Uncodemy's trainer team, supported by 30+ industry trainers and mentors whose combined corporate training experience at the institute tops 10 years. This trainer-led format keeps learners tracking a planned path — testing fundamentals one week, automation tools the next, with hands-on assignments built in throughout.
Trainer responsibilities and reviewer responsibilities stay deliberately separate at the institute level. For this Automation Testing program, Mr. Satyendra Bind reviews the curriculum while Mr. Fahim verifies the technical content. Two distinct roles, two different people.

Automation testing careers in Kolkata follow the same trajectory as anywhere else in India — QA, validation, quality engineering — but the city's own IT ecosystem has a distinct flavor. Salt Lake Sector V and New Town / Rajarhat together form East India's largest IT corridor, hosting IT services firms, analytics companies, KPOs, and a growing BFSI presence. Park Street and BBD Bag anchor the traditional commercial district, where legacy enterprises increasingly depend on modern QA automation. Employers across these zones consistently want testers who pair testing fundamentals with genuine automation fluency.
Entry-level candidates differentiate themselves by demonstrating practical ability, not just listing tools. Interviews tend to probe Selenium or Playwright scripting, test-case reasoning, framework concepts, API testing, debugging, and how well you can explain the mechanics behind an automated check. SQL basics, version control, and CI/CD familiarity are assumed rather than taught.
Kolkata's tech scene has quietly grown into a serious market — the analytics and KPO base in Sector V rivals any in India, the BFSI GCCs keep growing, and eastern India's only major IT corridor pulls in talent from Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha alongside the local pool. As connected systems and enterprise applications continue to rely more on software, employers increasingly need people comfortable with regression testing, API validation, and end-to-end automated checks.
Uncodemy's learning path covers these skills in sequence: QA fundamentals first, then Selenium, API testing, Playwright, and CI/CD. Projects plus the capstone let learners apply these concepts in practical settings, complementing the classroom instruction.
Career outcomes depend on each individual's skills, interview performance, prior experience, employer criteria, and market conditions. The course offers Dedicated Career & Placement Assistance, though employment is never guaranteed.
Completion opens doors to a range of entry-level and early-career testing roles.
| Role | Core Tools |

Career progression generally follows as professionals build stronger automation, debugging, framework, and project experience. Over 2–4 years, a tester may progress from entry-level automation work into advanced QA automation or engineering roles — dependent on performance, technical depth, employer, and the specific role's requirements. Promotion is never automatic; what matters is the experience and skills actually built on the job.

Uncodemy separately offers a Playwright Automation Testing course. This distinction matters if you're weighing the two. The Automation Testing Course is the broader option — manual testing fundamentals, Selenium, API testing, Playwright, and CI/CD, all within 3–4 months. The Playwright course is shorter and specifically focuses on Playwright automation.
If you want a full manual-to-automation testing career path, the broader Automation Testing program likely aligns better. If you already have testing and Selenium experience and just want to add Playwright to your toolkit, the focused Playwright Automation Testing course may be the smarter choice.
Kolkata learners access Uncodemy's Automation Testing program entirely through live online classes. This format lets students across the city participate without needing a local Uncodemy centre, while still receiving live instruction, structured assignments, practical projects, and career support.
What separates live online from pure self-paced learning is the schedule and the live instructor. Learners attend sessions in real time, ask questions as they come up, and stay synced with the same pathway used across Uncodemy's wider program ecosystem.
For learners who prefer face-to-face instruction and are able to travel, Uncodemy operates physical centres in Delhi and Noida. There is, however, no Uncodemy classroom centre in Kolkata.
This distinction matters: Kolkata learners should opt for the Live Online option for the city-based program. Classroom access is limited to the designated Delhi and Noida centres.
