Go beyond basic bug reporting. Our 12-week root cause testing program in India trains you to systematically identify, isolate, and resolve the underlying source of software defects. Build a professional portfolio with 6 real projects under 1:1 mentorship from industry experts.
Don't just learn theory. Build real projects.
Transform from beginner to professional
Goal: Build a strong foundation in software testing principles and master initial bug investigation techniques.
Goal: Develop skills to trace issues across the full stack, from UI to database, using advanced tools.
Goal: Automate detection strategies, master complex scenarios, and learn to communicate findings effectively to stakeholders.
Build a portfolio that gets you hired
Identify why orders are failing in the final payment stage. Use DevTools, network analysis, and session replay concepts to pinpoint the exact JavaScript error and API mismatch causing cart abandonment.
Investigate a reported "app slowing down" issue. Analyze memory leaks using profiling tools, examine inefficient database calls, and provide a root cause report with actionable fixes for the development team.
Trace how user data is being incorrectly modified. Follow the data trail from the UI form, through the backend service, to the database query, identifying the flawed validation logic as the root cause.
Debug a broken integration with a third-party weather service. Use Postman and Charles Proxy to simulate requests, analyze response headers and bodies, and discover the root cause in authentication token handling.
Looking to move beyond repetitive test case execution and develop deep debugging skills to advance into SDET or QA Analyst roles.
Engineering or CS graduates wanting to build a high-demand, analytical skill set in software testing to land their first tech job.
Professionals from support, operations, or other fields seeking a structured path into the high-growth tech industry with a focus on problem-solving.
Developers aiming to strengthen their debugging methodology and systematic approach to fixing bugs efficiently in their own code.
Real questions from our community, answered by our experts
Normal testing focuses on finding if a bug exists ("what" broke). Root cause testing goes deeper to systematically determine "why" it broke. It involves investigative techniques, tool usage, and analytical thinking to trace a symptom back to its fundamental source in code, configuration, or data, preventing the bug from recurring.
Basic logical thinking is required, but advanced coding is not a prerequisite. We start with fundamentals and gradually introduce scripting (Python) and querying (SQL) as needed for investigation. The focus is on reading and understanding code/logs, not necessarily writing production-level software.
You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools including Chrome/Firefox DevTools, Postman for API debugging, Charles Proxy for network analysis, JIRA for bug tracking, Git for version control, log analysis tools (Splunk/ELK basics), and introductory Selenium for automation.
Yes. We provide 100% job support which includes resume building with your project portfolio, mock interviews focused on problem-solving and RCA scenarios, and guidance on LinkedIn profile optimization. We also share relevant job openings with our community.
We recommend 10-12 hours per week. This includes 4-6 hours of live/recorded sessions and hands-on practice, and another 4-6 hours for working on projects, assignments, and self-study. The program is designed for working professionals and fresh graduates.
Yes, upon successful completion of all modules and projects, you will receive a "Professional Root Cause Testing" certificate from Lead With Skills. More importantly, you will have a portfolio of 6 real projects to showcase to employers.
All live mentorship sessions are recorded and available in your student dashboard. You can access them anytime. For 1:1 doubt-solving, you can schedule a separate call with your mentor.
You will work on 6 projects simulating real-world scenarios: debugging an e-commerce checkout failure, analyzing a mobile app performance issue, tracing a data corruption bug, fixing an API integration, and a capstone project on an open-source application.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options. You can choose to pay the total course fee of ₹18,999 in two equal installments. Please contact our admissions team for details.
Graduates are well-positioned for roles like QA Analyst (Specialist), SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test), Application Support Engineer, DevOps Analyst (focusing on reliability), and even transition into junior development roles due to the deep system understanding gained.
