About this course
Software Testing & Automation Internship Program: 6-Week Structured Learning and Experience
Introduction
Software Testing is a crucial phase in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) that ensures software products are reliable, functional, and defect-free. This internship program offers comprehensive knowledge in both manual and automation testing, equipping participants with practical skills using tools like Selenium, Appium, and JIRA. The program is tailored for aspiring Quality Assurance (QA) engineers and software testers, aiming to bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world applications.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in test case writing, bug reporting, automation scripting, and performance testing. The course culminates with an end-to-end test automation project that consolidates all acquired skills in a real-world testing scenario.
Program Highlights
Week 1: Fundamentals of Software Testing
· Introduction to Software Testing: Understand the role of testing in SDLC, types of defects, and cost implications.
· Manual Testing Fundamentals: Explore Smoke, Sanity, Regression, and other testing types with real-time scenarios.
· Test Case Writing Basics: Learn to design effective manual test cases for basic application functionalities.
Week 2: Bug Lifecycle & Automation Introduction
· Bug Life Cycle: Visualize the journey of a bug from detection to resolution with flowcharts and examples.
· Introduction to Automation Testing: Compare manual vs automation testing, understand when and why to automate.
· Selenium Basics: Environment setup and writing a basic script to automate a Google search.
Week 3: Selenium Automation Skills
· Element Locators in Selenium: Master element identification using ID, Name, XPath, and CSS Selectors.
· Automating Login Functionality: Automate login scenarios on demo websites using Selenium WebDriver.
· Introduction to Appium: Explore mobile test automation by launching apps on emulators using Appium.
Week 4: Unit and Integration Testing
· Unit Testing in Python/Java: Build a simple calculator and test all functions using unit testing frameworks.
· Integration Testing Scenario Design: Design test cases for checkout processes in e-commerce platforms.
Week 5: Performance Testing & Advanced Automation
· Performance Testing Overview: Research tools like JMeter and LoadRunner, and analyze their capabilities.
· Automating Form Submission: Write Selenium scripts to automate web form filling and submission.
· Defect Reporting using Bug Tracking Tools: Practice defect logging using tools like JIRA/Bugzilla.
Week 6: Final Project – End-to-End Test Automation
· Project Task: Automate a complete user workflow (e.g., registration → login → logout) on a sample web app.
· Deliverables: Submit source code, test cases, and a video/screenshot demonstrating the automation.
