how ai fits in

AI-fluent, not AI-dependent

Do QA with AI instead of around it: AI speeds up your testing work, and you learn to test AI products too.

  1. 01Learn with AI

    Your first thinking partner

    Pre-work and Module 1 cover AI foundations, prompting and verification, and using AI to think through a test problem.

  2. 02Work with AI

    An AI lesson in every module

    AI-accelerated test case generation, AI for Jira ticket drafting and bug triage, and AI-assisted Cypress test writing and maintenance.

  3. 03AI as the subject

    Testing AI itself

    Module 6 uses Postman AI to generate tests from a spec, then takes a first look at testing AI APIs.

  4. 04Your judgment

    AI drafts, you decide

    Every AI-generated test case, ticket or script is yours to review, run and explain before it counts.

“Do QA with AI instead of around it.”

About the field

What is quality assurance?

Quality assurance (QA) is the systematic process of making sure software meets defined quality standards before it reaches users. It combines testing, analysis, and problem-solving to find and prevent defects, and today it increasingly includes testing AI features.

What are the career opportunities for QA professionals?

QA offers careers across tech, healthcare, finance, and e-commerce. Roles like QA Analyst, Software Tester, and Automation Engineer are in demand, and professionals often advance into positions like QA Manager or Software Quality Specialist, with mid-level roles earning an average of $75,000 to $100,000 a year.

Is quality assurance difficult?

It takes attention to detail, critical thinking, and technical skills. You start with manual QA and bug reports before any code, then learn JavaScript for testers and Cypress step by step, with hands-on client projects along the way.

The program

What does the curriculum look like?

It’s a 4-month, part-time program: pre-work plus 6 core modules covering the QA mindset and bug reports, test plans and test cases, Jira and GitHub workflows, JavaScript and Cypress automation, and API testing with Postman and Postman AI. Every module ends in a client project.

How is AI part of the program?

Every module has a dedicated AI lesson tied to the work: AI-generated test cases, AI for Jira ticket drafting and bug triage, AI-assisted Cypress test writing and maintenance, and Postman AI. Module 6 also takes a first look at testing AI APIs.

How does the schedule work?

It’s part-time. You can attend live daily sessions (recorded for later viewing) and work through self-paced videos, assignments and projects around your schedule, so you can keep your job while you learn.

Careers

What career support does Coding Temple offer?

  • Early career prep: workshops and alumni networking from day one.
  • Reverse recruiters: experts who find job opportunities tailored to your skills.
  • Interview preparation: mock technical and behavioral interviews.
  • Resume optimization: tailored feedback to highlight your strengths.
  • Exclusive job board (Prentus): AI-powered tools for your job search.
Does Coding Temple offer a job guarantee?

No. We do not guarantee employment. Through our Tuition Protection Program, students who meet all eligibility and program requirements may qualify for tuition relief or a refund if qualifying employment is not secured within the defined timeframe.
