QA Engineering: Data, UX & Product Quality
550 000 ₸About course
More on ONESOFTTesting is one of the most popular entry points into the IT sector, and by 2026, this role will no longer be about ‘clicking buttons’, but about product thinking, AI tools and working with data. The programme combines the core QA engineering (test design, Jira/TestRail, REST/SOAP/Postman, iOS/Android mobile testing) with four new modules: AI Engineering (Prompt Engineering, test case generation via LLM), Product Thinking (User Stories, metrics, Risk-Based Testing), UX/UI Audit (Nielsen’s heuristics, WCAG 2.2) and SQL for data validation. The course’s main feature is its own simulator in the form of a web application, where you practise test cases, bug reports, UI audits and SQL using scenarios that closely resemble real-world work. 67% of the course is spent on practical work in the simulator, analysing real-world cases from e-commerce, banking and mobile apps, and group work on Miro. The course is taught by 7 active industry professionals: Head of QA, Head of Academy, QA Team Lead, and an Automation QA specialist with experience in AI testing of LLM applications. By the end of the course, you’ll be a Junior/Junior+ QA Engineer with a ready-to-go capstone portfolio (test plan, AI-generated test cases, bug reports, UX audit, SQL checks) and interview-ready skills.
