Move from theory to hands-on QA practice with a complete bilingual training application: 24 guided sessions, 48 hours of content, a realistic e-commerce case study, 20 technical cheat sheets, more than 160 interactive questions and structured preparation for ISTQB CTFL v4.0.

Become a job-ready QA Engineer with a structured 48-hour learning path

Do you want to learn software testing, strengthen your QA skills, prepare for technical interviews or revise for ISTQB CTFL v4.0 without jumping between dozens of disconnected courses?

QA Engineer Bootcamp 48H brings together the essential knowledge, methods and tools used by modern software testers and automation engineers in one interactive application.

This is not a basic ebook. It is a standalone HTML learning application that opens directly in a web browser. It includes interactive navigation, progress tracking, practical exercises, quizzes, a mock exam and concise technical revision sheets.

The programme follows a 40% focused theory and 60% practical work approach. Concepts are immediately applied to ShopFast, a realistic fictional e-commerce project with a web frontend, REST API, PostgreSQL database, mobile application and payment workflow.

Why choose this bootcamp?

Online QA resources are often fragmented: one course for ISTQB, another for Postman, a separate tutorial for Playwright and several videos for Selenium, Appium or DevOps.

This bootcamp combines those topics into one coherent programme built around the same case study. You can spend less time searching for learning materials and more time understanding, practising and revising.

Compatibility

• Windows 10 and Windows 11.
• macOS.
• Linux.
• Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
• Tablet viewing is possible, but a computer is recommended for technical exercises.
