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.

Download.pdfTesting Fundamentals
This sprint explores the role of a Software Tester and how they fit into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It also takes a detailed look at the different types of testing before introducing you to exploratory testing. You’ll then finish the sprint by completing your very first testing project!
Test Design and Documentation
This sprint covers the analysis and decomposition of product requirements while identifying gray areas. It then looks at writing reports on test results, finding errors in web services, and understanding their structure. You'll use various techniques to design and optimize your tests before putting your knowledge to use in your second project by creating your own test documentation.
Testing Web Applications
This module covers the basics of web application structure, including client-server architecture, front-end, back-end, URL, and HTTP. You'll compile a checklist of tests for the interface elements and learn how to work with industry tools such as Figma, DevTools, and Charles. At the end of the module, you will test a new routing interface.
APIs
This sprint covers how to test APIs using Postman. You’ll learn everything you need in order to understand APIs, such as REST architecture, JSON, and the HTTP request and response structure. As usual, there will be a project at the end.
Understanding Databases
This sprint is all about databases. You’ll study the console while learning how to work with tables and write SQL queries.
Testing Mobile Applications
This sprint is all about mobile applications. Here you’ll learn how to use the Android Studio emulator, practice setting logs, and become familiar with the intricacies of testing on a real device.
Python
This sprint introduces you to one of the most important programming languages in the world: Python. You’ll learn the basics of the language and how to apply it to testing.
Browser Automation
This sprint teaches you how to use Python to automate a web browser. You’ll build on the previous chapter and learn about a commonly-used testing tool called Selenium.
Applied Testing: Final project
The final project gives you the chance to put all of your learning into practice as you test a mobile app, a web app, and an API. You’ll design and perform tests, then submit bug reports with your findings.

“The tutors were amazing, way better than any tutor that I ever had in college or even the academy.”
“It just felt like it was the career that I had been
searching for for many years and I finally was able to
put a name on it.”
“When I was doing projects, I found that I liked to break software and provide feedback. So basically, when I learned that doing that could be a job, I was all about it.”
“Their curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending theory with hands-on projects that prepare you for real-world scenarios. The instructors are knowledgeable and incredibly supportive, always ready to guide you through challenges.”

How will AI affect QA jobs in the future?
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?
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?
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?
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.
