Put simply, testing is how a team earns the right to say 'this works'. It shows that software does its job
and exposes the places it fails while there is still time to fix them. Imagine an online grain-mandi portal
used by farmers and commission agents around Kurukshetra during the wheat and paddy season. A tester checks
that a gate pass is issued only for a registered farmer, that the moisture percentage entered changes the
payable rate as the rules say, that a farmer cannot book two arrival slots for the same day, that payment
status moves correctly from 'auctioned' to 'paid' and that the portal keeps working on a slow mobile
connection when traffic peaks in April.
Doing that well means choosing the riskiest areas to test first, writing test cases that anyone on the team
can follow, executing them manually or through automation, and recording defects so developers can reproduce
and fix them quickly. You test small pieces of code, the joins between them, the whole system and finally
what the user accepts; and beyond 'does the button work' you also look at speed, safety, accessibility and
how it behaves on different phones. Agile teams test continuously through each sprint, with automated suites
running on every change.
Types of Software Testing You Will Practise
| Type |
What it checks |
Covered in |
| Functional testing |
Features behave as the requirement states |
Modules 1–2 |
| Smoke & sanity testing |
A new build is stable enough for deeper testing |
Module 2 |
| Regression testing |
Recent changes have not broken existing features |
Modules 2, 6, 7 |
| Cross-browser testing |
Consistent behaviour across Chrome, Firefox, Edge and WebKit |
Modules 6–7 |
| Database testing |
Stored and returned data is correct |
Module 4 |
| API & integration testing |
Services exchange data correctly |
Modules 8–9 |
| Exploratory testing |
Unexpected behaviour scripts would miss |
Module 2 and capstone |
What Does a Software Tester (QA Engineer) Do?
A typical QA week, whether in a Mohali startup or a Noida services firm: talk through upcoming stories with
developers, write cases and prepare data, test each new build, raise Jira defects with steps and evidence,
and retest fixes. Testers on the automation side also update Selenium or Playwright suites, extend API
coverage and investigate failing pipeline jobs. Before a release goes out, QA gives its sign-off or raises a
flag.
Manual Testing vs Automation Testing vs API Testing
Employers in the tricity and NCR now look for a mix of all three.
| Aspect |
Manual |
Automation |
API |
| What it checks |
Features as a user sees them |
Repeated UI and regression checks via scripts |
Business logic and data exchange behind the UI |
| Main tools |
Jira, test case sheets, browser dev tools |
Selenium, Playwright, PyTest/TestNG |
Postman, REST APIs |
| Coding needed |
None |
Moderate (Python, Java or JS/TS) |
Low to moderate |
| Best for |
Exploratory, usability, new features |
Regression, cross-browser, CI/CD runs |
Fast, stable checks of services |
| Indicative salary (India) |
₹3–6 LPA (Manual QA Engineer) |
₹4–8 LPA (Automation Test Engineer) |
₹5–10 LPA (API Test Engineer) |
Salary ranges are indicative India ranges and are not guaranteed placement outcomes.
Course Overview — Who Should Join?
Six months, 13 modules: the course packs 165+ hours into 100+ live sessions. It opens with how testing
works, manual test design, working in Agile and SQL. Next you learn to code in Python or Java and point
Selenium and Playwright at real browsers. APIs get two treatments, by hand and through scripts, before two
Gen AI modules and one on frameworks and CI/CD. You close with a 20-hour capstone.
- Current students and fresh pass-outs from KU, NIT Kurukshetra and the engineering, computer
applications, science and commerce colleges around them.
- Learners from Karnal, Kaithal, Yamunanagar, Ambala and Pehowa who prefer to stay home while training.
- Manual testers already working remotely who need automation and API skills to move up.
- Career switchers from teaching, banking, retail or government-exam preparation looking for a stable IT
path.
- Developers keen to learn test design, frameworks and CI properly, not piecemeal.
At the end of the program you will be able to:
- Read any requirement and come back with scenarios, written cases and the data to run them, odd values
and mistakes included.
- Use SQL to check stored data and write defects a developer can reproduce straight away.
- Create and run Selenium or Playwright test suites on different browsers.
- Test APIs with Postman and automate them with data-driven inputs.
- Use AI with care in your test work and trigger the suite from Jenkins, results in Allure.
Who is eligible: any stream is fine, whether you have graduated or are in your final year. Prior
programming is not needed. Practicals run smoothest on 8 GB RAM or higher with internet that does not keep
cutting out.
