End-to-End QA Testing Cycle

End-to-End QA Testing Cycle is the capstone course for the Junior QA/Software Tester Professional Certificate. You will step into the role of sole QA Tester for a brand-new mock application — GreenLeaf Grocers — and execute a complete software testing lifecycle from start to finish. You'll begin by importing requirements into Jira, authoring Zephyr test cases, and manually executing tests to uncover real seeded defects. You'll use BrowserStack to confirm a mobile UI bug on a live cloud device, and Postman to isolate an API failure triggering a 500 Server Error. From there, you'll validate data integrity with SQL queries, automate the checkout happy path using Playwright, and push your script to GitHub via a pull request linked to your Jira ticket. Finally, you'll use Microsoft Copilot to generate a stakeholder-ready Test Summary and Release Recommendation report. Everything you produce feeds directly into a comprehensive End-to-End Release Portfolio — a PDF artifact you can share with employers to demonstrate real-world QA readiness.
