GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from our community, answered by our experts

What is the main difference between severity and priority?

+

Severity measures the technical impact of a bug on the system (e.g., crash, data loss). Priority indicates the urgency with which the bug should be fixed based on business needs. A bug can be high severity (crashes the app) but low priority (affects very few users), and vice-versa.

Do I need any coding experience for this course?

+

No prior coding experience is required. The course starts with foundational QA concepts. However, a basic understanding of how software works and logical thinking are beneficial.

How will this course help me get a job?

+

You will build a portfolio of 6 real-world projects that demonstrate your bug triage skills. We provide 1:1 resume reviews, mock interviews, and direct connections to our hiring partners. Our 100% job support includes guidance until you secure a position.

What tools will I learn to use?

+

You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools including JIRA for bug tracking, TestRail for test management, Postman for API testing, Chrome DevTools, and collaboration tools like Confluence and Slack.

Can you give a real-world example of severity vs. priority?

+

Example: A bug causing the app to crash when a user in a specific remote timezone tries to print a receipt (High Severity, Low Priority - affects few users). A typo in the marketing banner on the homepage seen by all visitors (Low Severity, High Priority - impacts brand perception before a major campaign).

What is the time commitment per week?

+

We recommend 8-10 hours per week. This includes 3 hours of live sessions, 3-4 hours of hands-on project work, and 2-3 hours of self-study and practice.

Who are the mentors?

+

Our mentors are senior QA leads and managers with 8+ years of experience currently working at top Indian startups and MNCs like Flipkart, Cashfree, Amazon, and Swiggy.

Is the course fee inclusive of everything?

+

Yes, the one-time fee of ₹18,999 covers all 12 weeks of training, live mentorship, project reviews, learning materials, tool access, and lifetime access to the job support program. No hidden costs.

What if I miss a live session?

+

All live sessions are recorded and available in your student dashboard within 24 hours. You can review them at your convenience and ask questions in the dedicated discussion forum.

What kind of certificate will I receive?

+

Upon successful completion of all projects and assessments, you will receive a verifiable Certificate of Excellence in Bug Triage & Test Management, which includes a link to your public project portfolio.
