Foundation Module – Manual Testing (Add-On)

Before diving into automation and database testing, every tester must be strong in Manual Testing.

Content:
Manual Testing is the foundation of every testing career. In this module, you will learn how to test applications without automation, focusing on test planning, execution, defect reporting, and Agile practices. You will also get hands-on experience with tools like JIRA and Bugzilla to manage test cases and defects effectively.

Key Topics:

• Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) & Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) 
• Test Planning, Test Case Writing & Execution 
• Defect Lifecycle & Defect Reporting 
• Agile, Scrum & Real-Time Use Cases 

Hands-On Projects

• Mini Queries on Sales/HR DB 
• Employee & Department Database Testing 
• Banking DB Testing Project 
• Database Testing on a Sample Application 

Career Opportunities

After this course, you can apply for roles like:

• Database Tester 
• SQL Test Engineer 
• QA Engineer (Manual + Database Testing) 
• ETL Tester (Entry-Level)
