The Software Testing Training at Netpro Training Institute in Pune is a comprehensive program designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements. This course provides a deep dive into the entire testing ecosystem, covering Manual Testing fundamentals, Automation Testing with Selenium, and specialized modules like API and Mobile Testing.

1. Foundations of Quality
• Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): Understanding how code moves from an idea to production (Agile, Scrum, and Kanban).
• Testing Levels
• Unit Testing: Testing small pieces of code.
• Integration Testing: Testing how modules work together.
• System Testing: Testing the app as a whole.
• Test Documentation: Writing clear Bug Reports, Test Cases, and Test Plans.
• Methodologies: Learning the difference between Black Box (user-view) and White Box (code-view) testing.

2. Manual & API Testing
• Web Testing: Using Browser DevTools to inspect elements, check console errors, and simulate different network speeds.
• API Testing (Crucial): Learning how to test the "middle layer" using Postman.
• Understanding HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
• Validating JSON responses and Status Codes
• Mobile Testing: Testing on different screen sizes and OS versions (iOS vs. Android).

3. Automation Engineeringb>
• Programming for Testers: Master Java or JavaScript/TypeScript (the two most popular languages for QA).
• UI Automation Frameworks
• Playwright: (Recommended for 2025) Fast, modern, and handles auto-waiting.
• Selenium: The industry veteran; widely used in enterprise companies.
• The Page Object Model (POM): A design pattern to keep your automation code clean and maintainable.

4. CI/CD & DevOps Integration
• Git & GitHub: Managing your test scripts with version control.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Learning how to run your tests automatically in GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
• Containerization: Using Docker to ensure your tests run the same way on every machine.

5. Advanced & AI-Augmented Testing
• Performance Testing: Using JMeter or k6 to see if the app crashes when 1,000 users join at once.
• AI in QA: Using tools like Testim or Applitools (Visual AI) to detect UI glitches that traditional code might miss.
• Security Testing Basics: Understanding the OWASP Top 10 risks (like SQL Injection).
