The shift to AI-native quality engineering

Software quality has entered an agentic era

AI systems no longer just generate text. They reason about goals, call tools, generate and heal tests, and operate inside real CI/CD pipelines. That changes what it means to be a test engineer: you must move beyond record-and-playback and scripted automation, and learn to design and operate AI-powered quality systems.

Most QA professionals face the same three gaps — knowing when to use AI agents versus deterministic automation, building AI test frameworks that are reliable, grounded and cost-aware, and explaining and defending AI system design decisions in interviews. This program is designed to close all three by developing real engineering judgement.

Bridging the AI engineering skill gap

Calling an LLM API is easy. Designing AI systems that behave predictably inside a quality pipeline is hard. Engineers struggle with hallucinated test steps, flaky locators, weak orchestration, missing evaluation and rising token costs. We break AI engineering into clear building blocks — agents, tools and MCP, memory and context, RAG and GraphRAG, evaluation and guardrails, and production operations — until complex AI systems become understandable, testable and reliable.

Course overview

Built around four core pillars

A structured upskilling and career-transition program for experienced testing and engineering professionals targeting AI-native roles. Not a demo-based course — preparation for real AI engineering work.

1. AI engineering & agentic systems

Design, build, evaluate and operate production-grade AI applications, agents and RAG systems used inside real workflows.

2. AI-native test engineering

Apply AI engineering to quality: AI-powered test generation, self-healing automation, Playwright and MCP pipelines, and AI evaluation of AI systems.

3. AI interview preparation

Explain agent architectures, trade-offs, failure modes and system decisions with clarity, for AI Engineer, AI Test Engineer and Architect interviews.

4. Career support

Resume optimisation, mock interviews and career guidance to help convert preparation into offers.

Live guided projects

Eight systems, built with a mentor

01

First LLM-Powered Test Agent

Build your first LLM-powered agent and understand exactly how agents differ from scripts and chatbots. Learn how LLMs act as reasoning engines, how tools and memory fit into agent architecture, and how agent behaviour is actually controlled.

02

RAG Test-Case Generator (with evaluation)

Build a document-grounded test-case generator using retrieval-augmented generation. Ingest requirements and user stories, design chunking strategies, retrieve relevant context, and evaluate retrieval quality so hallucinated test steps never reach your suite.

03

Multi-Agent QA Pipeline

Design a multi-agent system on a Planner → Executor → Critic pattern. Agents collaborate to plan coverage, generate cases and critique outputs, demonstrating task decomposition, coordination and closed quality loops.

04

Self-Healing Test Automation Agent

Build a self-healing automation layer with golden-flow DOM capture, fuzzy locator scoring and LLM-based runtime re-resolution. Track every heal in a history dashboard and learn when healing genuinely helps versus when it quietly hides real defects.

05

NLP-to-Playwright Script Generator (MCP)

Generate Playwright TypeScript specs from natural-language steps using the Model Context Protocol. Solve locator uniqueness, section-scoped disambiguation and ref-based element selection — the hardest real problems in AI test generation.

06

Agentic API & Data Validation Agent

Build a vertical agent that validates APIs and data pipelines. Handle authentication, rate limits, retries and caching, and return structured, schema-validated results that a real CI system can consume.

07

AI Evaluation & Observability Harness

Design dataset-based evaluations and regression tests for LLM systems. Trace agent decisions with LangSmith, track cost, latency and failure rates, and turn feedback into measurable quality improvements.

08

Production-Ready QA Copilot

Build a production-ready quality copilot with RAG, safety guardrails, evaluation pipelines and cost/latency dashboards, deployed with Docker and GitHub Actions. Learn to operate AI agents responsibly under real-world constraints.

Capstone briefs

Choose one and own it end to end

A

Autonomous Test Generation Platform

Build a multi-agent system where specialised agents parse requirements, generate test suites, execute them via Playwright, self-heal failures and raise pull requests — with tool-driven autonomy, built-in guardrails and full CI/CD integration.

B

Enterprise RAG Knowledge & QA Copilot

Design a GraphRAG-powered copilot that answers only from approved enterprise documents, generates grounded test artefacts, explains defects in plain language, and enforces strict data boundaries with evaluation gates.

C

AI Quality & Evaluation Command Center

Create an agentic pipeline that continuously evaluates AI systems: hallucination checks, regression datasets, guardrail enforcement and cost/latency intelligence, with executive-ready dashboards generated automatically.

Questions

About the flagship program

Three things. It teaches AI engineering properly — weeks 1 to 7 are agents, RAG, GraphRAG and MCP before any testing content appears — so graduates are eligible for AI Engineer roles, not only AI-flavoured QA roles. It is taught from production code by one accountable mentor across all 100 days. And interview performance is treated as a trainable engineering skill with dedicated modules and mock panels.

Both, in that order. You cannot apply AI to quality engineering credibly without understanding how agents, retrieval, evaluation and guardrails actually behave. Roughly half the curriculum is general AI engineering; the other half applies it to quality at production scale.

AI engineering and agentic systems; AI-native test engineering; AI interview preparation; and career support. Each has dedicated weeks rather than being folded in as an afterthought.

Anyone hoping to avoid writing code, anyone who cannot commit 15–20 hours a week, and anyone looking for a certificate to list without a portfolio behind it. The program is demanding by design.

Week 14 is the capstone: design, build, deploy and defend a complete AI quality system. Week 15 is interview preparation and career workshops — AI system design practice, resume and LinkedIn optimisation, mock interviews and behavioural coaching. Then the support period continues through your job search.
