What is QA Engineering?

QA Engineers break software and document the results. They test software to catch bugs, and work with software engineers to fix them. QA combines analytical thinking with attention to detail.

As AI-generated code grows, demand for skilled QA specialists is not going down—but evolving. QA is one of the most accessible entry points into tech, with a bootcamp offering the necessary training in just a few months without requiring a computer science degree.

What can grads expect from their first QA jobs?

Entry-level QA Engineering and QA Testing roles typically focus on manual testing. Responsibilities may include:

  • Executing test cases by testing UI, APIs, and mobile apps
  • Conducting exploratory testing
  • Analyzing requirements
  • Finding and reporting bugs
  • Communicating with developers and product teams

Junior QAs often increase salaries and responsibilities as they become more confident with tools like Jira, Postman, SQL, JSON/XML, DevTools, Selenium, and AI-assisted workflows.

Will TripleTen’s bootcamp give me the experience I need?

Yes. You’ll learn to test apps end-to-end, use QA tools like Postman, Jira, Selenium, DevTools, and practice QA workflows used in real tech teams. You won’t just learn theory — you’ll gain hands-on experience testing real applications.

You’ll complete:

  • 9 technical sprints
  • 6 portfolio projects
  • API testing
  • Mobile testing
  • UI testing
  • Automation foundations
  • Full bug reports + requirements analysis

What skills are required to become a Software QA Engineer?

QA engineers need skills in test design, exploratory testing, SDLC, client-server architecture, API testing, UI testing, mobile testing, cross-platform testing, and basic automation. These are the skills you’ll learn in this bootcamp.

You’ll also learn essential collaboration skills, like writing bug reports, communicating with developers, and working across teams, plus AI literacy to stay competitive in a changing market

What is the career growth path for a testing engineer (QA)?

After gaining work experience, QA Engineers often move into roles like:

  • QA Automation Engineer
  • Test Engineer
  • QA Analyst
  • Quality Control Engineer
  • QA Specialist
  • QA Coordinator

From there, you’ll have options to go into senior QA, automation-focused roles, or even product and engineering-adjacent positions.

How quickly can I become a QA tester with no tech background?

Most learners become job-ready within 5 months if they study consistently. The program is designed for complete beginners — you only need determination and the ability to follow guided practice.

With AI-powered support (Dot), simplified sprints, and hands-on projects, students from non-tech backgrounds can successfully become QA engineers.

Can I become a QA tester without learning programming?

Yes. Manual QA is an excellent entry into tech that does not require advanced programming skills. You’ll learn only the essential Python needed to understand automation concepts, test logic, and tooling—no heavy coding required.

Will I get a certificate after completing the program?

Yes. After completing all the sprints and final projects, you will receive a TripleTen QA certificate. This certificate signals to employers that you’ve built job-ready skills, completed practice projects, and tested real-world applications.

How will AI affect QA jobs in the future?

AI is already reshaping software development — and QA is at the center of that change. From conversations with hiring managers and working QAs, we know:

1. QAs who use AI stay relevant and have stronger job security.
2. As AI-generated code increases, companies need skilled testers more than ever.
3. AI doesn’t replace QA — it changes what QA work looks like.

That’s why our program teaches AI literacy and AI-powered testing workflows from day one

Why do I need to learn AI to become a QA Engineer now?

You don’t need to be an AI expert — but learning how to use AI productivity tools in QA gives you a major advantage in today’s job market.

You’ll learn:

  • How to use AI safely
  • How to generate better test scenarios
  • How to speed up test analysis and automation
  • How AI impacts the QA field overall

Hiring managers increasingly look for QAs who can work efficiently with AI tools.

How is AI used in the TripleTen QA bootcamp?

AI is integrated into the entire program to help you learn faster and work like a modern QA engineer. You’ll use AI tools for:

  • Test design
  • Bug analysis
  • Test automation support
  • Project reviews (AI gives feedback before human reviewers do)
  • Debugging
  • Improving your test coverage

You’ll develop real AI literacy, which employers love to see.

Will AI replace QA testers?

Short answer: No. Long answer: AI can generate code, but it cannot reliably judge product behavior, UX issues, edge cases, accessibility problems, or business logic—all of which QAs handle.

AI increases the need for human testers who can:

  • Validate AI-generated code
  • Test complex user scenarios
  • Ensure product safety and reliability
  • Catch issues AI tools miss

QAs who know how to work with AI are the ones who stand out in hiring.
