Real-World Projects You Will Build

Apply validation and verification across the entire software lifecycle.

1. SRS Verification & Test Strategy

Perform in-depth requirement analysis and static testing on a product spec. Deliver a gap analysis report and a comprehensive test strategy document.

2. API Validation Suite

Build a collection of Postman requests to validate REST API endpoints for correctness, performance, and error handling. Automate the suite for regression verification.

3. UI Automation Framework

Develop a Selenium-based test framework to verify critical user journeys. Integrate it with a CI/CD pipeline to demonstrate continuous verification.

4. Performance Test Report

Validate the non-functional requirements of a web application using JMeter. Identify bottlenecks and create a performance validation report.

GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from our community, answered by our experts

What is the main difference between validation and verification, in simple terms?

+

Verification asks, "Are we building the product right?" It's a static process of checking documents, code, and design (e.g., reviews, walkthroughs). Validation asks, "Are we building the right product?" It's a dynamic process of testing the actual software against user needs (e.g., executing test cases). Our course teaches you to perform both effectively.

I have no coding experience. Can I still join?

+

Absolutely. The first month focuses on manual verification and validation concepts which require no coding. We gradually introduce automation in the second month with step-by-step guidance, making it accessible for beginners.

How is this course relevant for a Node.js certification or role?

+

Testing is a critical skill for any developer, including Node.js developers. This course teaches you to verify your own code through reviews and static analysis, and validate backend APIs (common in Node.js) through tools like Postman. These skills are highly valued for any Node.js certification or full-stack role.

What kind of job support do you provide?

+

Our 100% job support includes: 1) Building a professional testing portfolio with your projects, 2) Resume and LinkedIn profile optimization, 3) Mock interviews with real QA hiring managers, and 4) Direct referrals to our hiring partner network.

Are the classes live or recorded?

+

We follow a hybrid model. Core concept sessions are available as recorded modules for flexibility. All project guidance, doubt-solving, and 1:1 mentorship sessions are conducted live weekly. This ensures you learn at your pace but never miss out on expert interaction.

What tools will I get to work with?

+

You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools: JIRA & Confluence for project management and documentation, TestRail for test management, Postman for API testing, Selenium for automation, JMeter for performance, Git for version control, and Jenkins for CI/CD.

Is the ₹18999 fee a one-time payment?

+

Yes, the course fee is a one-time payment of ₹18,999 INR for the complete 12-week program, including all live mentorship, project reviews, and job support. No hidden charges.

What if I miss a live session?

+

All live mentorship and project review sessions are recorded and shared privately with the batch. You can access them at any time and clarify doubts in the next session or via our dedicated community channel.

Will I receive a certificate?

+

Yes, upon successful completion of all projects and course assessments, you will receive a verifiable certificate of completion from Lead With Skills. However, your main credential will be the professional portfolio of real projects you build.
