QA Engineer · Software Testing Educator

Learn QA the right way. From real engineers, not recycled theory.

Q: Do I need a computer science degree to become a QA engineer?

No. The QA field is one of the most accessible tech roles. A degree helps, but practical skills, a portfolio of test cases, and a clear thinking process matter far more in interviews and on the job.

Q: How long does it take to become a QA engineer?

With consistent effort, most learners can become job-ready in QA within four to six months. That assumes daily practice on real test cases, exposure to automation tools like Playwright, and serious interview preparation.

Q: Is manual testing still relevant in 2026?

Yes. Manual testing is the foundation of every strong automation engineer. Companies still hire heavily for manual testers, especially for complex products where exploratory testing catches what scripts miss.

Hi, I am Anveet Singh Chhabda, a QA engineer who teaches software testing the way it actually works inside a product team. Manual testing, automation with Playwright, API testing, and the muscle memory it takes to ship quality. No fluff. No filler. Just the work.

About the Platform

Training the next generation of QA engineers

Most online testing courses teach you what a textbook says. This platform teaches you what a release engineer says when the build is on fire and the demo is in twenty minutes. Different problem. Different training.

01 / Foundations

Manual Testing Fundamentals

SDLC, STLC, test case design, defect lifecycle, severity vs priority, exploratory testing, and the bug reports that actually get fixed instead of ignored.

02 / Automation

Playwright & Selenium

Modern automation that mirrors what real teams write. Locators, fixtures, the Page Object Model, parallel execution, and the patterns that keep your test suite from collapsing under its own weight.

03 / API Layer

API Testing & Real Workflows

Postman, REST, status codes, response validation, schema checks, and how to test the parts of an application most testers never see and most bugs come from.

04 / Workflows

Industry-Level Test Case Writing

The format hiring managers want to see. Preconditions, steps, expected results, edge cases, and the discipline that separates a tester who writes tests from a tester who designs them.

05 / Career

Resume & Interview Prep

The resume that gets opened. The answers that get callbacks. Mock interviews, system design for testers, and the questions you should be asking on the call instead of just answering them.

06 / Mentorship

1:1 Doubt Solving

Stuck on a flaky test? Confused on a regression strategy? Not sure if your test plan covers what it should? Bring it. Real questions, real engineers, real answers.

What You Will Learn

Built like a six month roadmap, not a four hour crash course

Real skills take real time. The path is laid out so a complete beginner can walk in with curiosity and walk out with the confidence to clear a QA interview.

Beginner to Advanced QA Training

Start with the basics, the why behind testing, the SDLC, the STLC. Move into structured techniques, exploratory mindsets, risk based testing, and the kind of thinking that turns a tester into a quality engineer.

Hands-On Practice on Real Applications

You will not be testing a calculator widget. You will be testing real e commerce flows, login systems, dashboards, and the kind of features you will see on day one of your first job. Theory is cheap. Reps are everything.

Automation Skills That Stand Out

Playwright is where modern teams are going. You will learn it the way teams actually use it, with TypeScript, the Page Object Model, fixtures, network mocking, and CI integration. By the end you can write tests that actually run on a Monday morning without flaking.

Industry Insights and Real Workflows

How sprints actually run. What standups sound like. Why the dev team and QA team disagree, and how to make sure the disagreement ends in a better product. The kind of context most tutorials skip and most managers assume you already have.

Job-Ready Interview Preparation

Resume reviews, mock interviews, practice questions, and the small things that separate a candidate who knows the work from a candidate who can talk about the work. Hiring is a different skill. Time to learn it.

Who Is This For

Built for the people tech keeps overlooking

If you fit one of these descriptions, you are in the right place. If you do not, that is fine too. Not every program is for every person. Honesty saves time on both sides.

Students entering tech

You want a clear, fast track into a stable tech role without three years of waiting on a CS degree to mean something. QA is your shortest distance to a paycheck.

Engineers switching to QA

You have a non testing background and want to pivot. The pivot is real. The competition is fierce. Skills, structure, and proof are how you win it.

Freshers preparing for interviews

Your degree got you the application. Now you need to clear the rounds. We rehearse the conversations until they sound like yours.

The naturally curious

Software testing rewards the people who ask why before they ask how. If breaking things to understand them sounds like a good day, you will fit in fine here.

Why Learn From Me

I do not teach what I read. I teach what I do.

There is a difference between someone who has heard about QA and someone who has lived through release weekends, flaky test triage, last minute hot fixes, and the kind of conversations that shape what shipping software actually feels like.

Working QA Engineer

Active in the field, shipping product, dealing with the same challenges I will be teaching you to solve. Not a content creator pretending to be an engineer. An engineer who happens to teach.

Real Hours, Real Bugs

Every example you study has its roots in something I caught, missed, or fought to fix. The lessons come from the trenches, not from a slide deck.

Job-Market First

Every module is reverse engineered from the questions hiring managers actually ask. If a topic does not show up on the job, it does not show up here either.

Frequently Asked

The questions that come up first

The honest answers to the questions every aspiring QA engineer asks before they begin. No hedging. No corporate filler.

Do I need a computer science degree to become a QA engineer?

No. The QA field is one of the most accessible tech roles available today. A degree helps, but practical skills, a portfolio of real test cases, and the ability to think clearly under pressure carry far more weight in interviews and on the job. I have watched people from English literature, accounting, and marketing land QA roles because they showed up with reps, not credentials.

How long does it take to become a QA engineer?

With consistent effort, most learners can become job ready within four to six months. That assumes daily practice on real test cases, exposure to automation tools like Playwright, and serious interview preparation. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you a dream, not a plan.

Is manual testing still relevant in 2026?

Yes. Manual testing is the foundation every strong automation engineer is built on. Companies still hire heavily for manual testers, especially for complex products where exploratory testing catches what scripts will never see. Anyone who tells you manual testing is dead has not shipped software in a long time.

Should I learn Selenium or Playwright first?

Playwright. It is faster to learn, has cleaner syntax, comes with auto waiting and a built in test runner, and is what modern teams are migrating to. You can pick up Selenium later if a specific job needs it. Start where the road is going, not where it used to be.

Do QA engineers need to know how to code?

If you want a manual testing role, basic scripting is enough. If you want the higher salary, the title that says engineer, and the seat at the engineering table, then yes, you need to code. JavaScript or Python is plenty. You do not need to be a developer. You need to read code without flinching and write enough of it to automate well.

What does the QA job market look like in the US?

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects steady growth in QA roles through 2034. Median compensation sits around 69,000 USD, with senior automation roles climbing well past six figures in major tech hubs. Demand is strong for engineers who can blend manual testing judgment with modern automation skills.
