About the course

What it covers and how it works

A structured, enterprise-ready AI training program for software testers and QA engineers. It shows manual testers, automation engineers, SDETs, and QA leads how to apply Generative AI and ML across the testing lifecycle - from AI-assisted test design and self-healing automation to testing AI and ML systems for bias, drift, and accuracy. 100 detailed chapters across five levels, designed for testers, not data scientists.

Five levels build from AI foundations for QA, through AI-assisted manual and automation testing, into advanced AI-driven QA engineering and, finally, testing AI and ML systems themselves - each level ending in an enterprise case study or capstone.

Program snapshot

Built for testers, not data scientists

  • AI for Manual, Automation, and SDET roles
  • GenAI-powered test design and defect analysis
  • Self-healing automation and visual testing
  • Testing AI and ML systems for bias, drift, and accuracy
  • Corporate labs and real enterprise use cases
Why enterprises choose it

Immediate, tool-agnostic value

It is designed for testers, delivers immediate productivity gains, and stays tool-agnostic and enterprise-friendly. Uniquely, it also covers how to test AI systems themselves - the assurance skill that regulated organizations increasingly require.

FAQ

AI for QA - answered

Who is the AI for QA course for?

QA engineers, test automation engineers, SDETs, and QA leads - manual or automation - who want to apply AI in real testing workflows, and teams that must also test AI and ML systems.

Do I need AI or data-science knowledge?

No. It is designed for testers, not data scientists. It builds the AI foundations you need from a tester's point of view and stays focused on testing work.

What will I be able to do?

Use GenAI to design test cases and analyze defects, build self-healing and visual automation, apply AI across manual and automation testing, and test AI and ML systems for bias, drift, accuracy, and security.

Is it tool-specific?

It is tool-agnostic and enterprise-friendly, with coverage of the tool landscape (for example Testim, Mabl, Applitools) so the skills transfer across your stack.

Does it cover testing AI systems themselves?

Yes. Level 500 is dedicated to testing AI and ML systems - data quality, bias and fairness, explainability, drift, adversarial input, and AI assurance and sign-off.

How is it delivered?

Self-paced with video, decks, and a deep-dive podcast; as an instructor-led corporate cohort with labs; or as enterprise-custom, role-based and tool-specific enablement.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Participants earn a Durga Analytics certificate and digital badge.

Is there a downloadable brochure?

Yes, from the download button at the top of this page.
