Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the curriculum, automation frameworks, eligibility, and career placement.
No prior programming experience is required. We start with manual testing concepts, testing methodologies, and STLC fundamentals before teaching Core Java from the absolute basics, making it accessible for freshers and non-IT graduates.
Manual testing involves executing test scenarios by hand without scripts to verify functionality and usability. Automation testing uses programming languages (Java) and tools (Selenium, REST Assured) to automatically execute repetitive tests, perform regression suites, and validate APIs at scale.
You will master Selenium WebDriver 4.0, Core Java, TestNG, Cucumber BDD, REST Assured, Postman, Apache POI, ExtentReports, Allure Reports, Jenkins CI/CD, Docker Grid, Git, GitHub, Jira, SQL, and AI testing tools.
Yes. You will design and code an enterprise-grade Hybrid Test Automation Framework combining Page Object Model (POM), Data-Driven testing with Excel, TestNG runners, Cucumber BDD feature files, and Jenkins CI/CD execution.
You will learn how to leverage generative AI (ChatGPT and LLMs) to synthesize edge-case test scenarios, auto-generate synthetic test data, optimize complex XPath/CSS selectors, and speed up defect triage and documentation.
The program includes live interactive mentor-led classes along with complete session recordings for lifetime revision, practice assignments, and lab support.
We offer comprehensive placement support including ATS resume preparation, GitHub framework portfolio reviews, 1-on-1 technical mock interviews, Java coding challenge prep, and interview referrals to hiring partner companies.
Yes. We offer flexible weekend and evening batches tailored specifically for working professionals looking to transition smoothly into QA Automation and SDET roles.
You will receive an industry-recognized AIDEAS Academy Certificate in Professional QA Automation & SDET Engineering with verified digital credentials to showcase on LinkedIn.
