Hands-on software testing training in Egypt: manual, API testing and Playwright automation
The Tadreeb team 5 min read
The short answer
Hands-on software testing training means testing a real product while a team builds it: writing a test plan and test cases from requirements, testing interfaces and APIs, writing bug reports that developers actually fix, then automating repetitive checks with a tool such as Playwright. That is the proof companies look for, not a course certificate alone.
What do companies expect from a junior tester?
- Understanding the software and testing life cycles and test types.
- Clear test cases written from requirements and acceptance criteria.
- Reproducible bug reports with steps, expected and actual results, and evidence.
- API testing with tools such as Postman.
- Basic SQL to verify data.
- Some automation, which is a strong advantage.
Manual or automation: where to start?
- Start with manual and API testing; they are the foundation of testing thinking.
- Move to automation once you understand what to test and why.
- Playwright is one of the newest and fastest-growing web automation tools and needs basic JavaScript or TypeScript.
