Learn QA & QE
by doing it.
A progressive path from manual grad to automation architect. Read the theory, learn the modern techniques, then hunt planted defects and write robust tests on real practice pages.
Manual or Automation? Why not both.
Start with the foundations of breaking things manually, then graduate to modern Quality Engineering.
Track 1: Manual QA Foundation
Grad
Obvious defects: typos, broken links, wrong labels. Build the habit of looking.
Level 2Junior
Form validation gaps, required fields, error states, and boundary values.
Level 3Senior
Accessibility, responsive breakage, browser quirks, and state bugs.
Level 4Test Lead
Security, race conditions, data integrity, and information disclosure.
Level 5Test Manager
Governance, policy, budgets, and strategic risk across the organisation.
Track 2: Quality Engineering (Automation)
Junior SDET
Basic assertions, robust locator strategies, and writing your first test.
Level 2Mid-Level
Page Object Models, API testing basics, CI pipelines, and debugging.
Level 3Senior QE
Framework design, synthetic data, advanced APIs, and telemetry.
Level 4Automation Lead
ROI reporting, tool selection, team mentoring, and metrics dashboards.
Level 5Architect
Infrastructure as code, chaos engineering, and Agentic AI meshes.
Test with AI
Generative AI is not going to replace testers. Testers who use AI well are going to replace testers who do not. Learn prompt engineering, hallucination detection, AI risk management, and LLM-powered test infrastructure — with live hands-on exercises backed by a real AI model.
Technique Library
Master 30+ testing techniques through our new interactive Teaching Architecture. From black-box basics to advanced lead strategy, each technique includes analogies, NZ-specific worked examples, and instant self-checks.
Three steps. No filler.
Read & Learn
Work through your level’s intro and techniques. Solve interactive Mini-Hunts to check your understanding instantly.
Hunt & Automate
Practice pages have planted bugs. Find them manually in blind mode, or write robust automation scripts to catch them in CI.
Self-Mark
Check your work against the answer keys. Your progress saves locally — pick up where you left off, any time.
Practice beats passive video
Most online testing courses are recorded lectures with a quiz at the end. You watch, you forget, you pass the quiz by pattern-matching, and you still can’t find a bug on a real page. Resync Bootcamp inverts that. You read a short explanation of a technique — equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, or synthetic data generation — and then you immediately apply it to a live practice page that has real planted defects in it. Find them all and you’ve actually learned the technique. Miss them and the answer key shows you exactly what you missed and why.
The content is aligned to the ISTQB syllabus (Foundation Level, Advanced Test Analyst, Advanced Test Manager) but strictly upgraded for modern Quality Engineering standards. But this isn’t an exam crammer — the practice pages care whether you can actually test software, not whether you can memorise definitions. Employers don’t hire you for the certificate; they hire you because you can catch the bugs a developer missed at 4pm on a Friday, and wire up the Agentic AI to prevent it from happening again.
Everything is free, self-paced, and runs entirely in your browser. No signups, no cohorts, no paywall, no certificates of completion to frame and forget. Your progress is saved in local storage on your machine, which means it’s yours — close the tab, come back in three weeks, and pick up exactly where you left off.
Progressive skills, by level & track
We've split the bootcamp into two parallel universes: the Manual QA Foundation and modern Quality Engineering (Automation) track. Start where your current skill sits.
The Manual QA Foundation track starts at Grad and takes you through Junior, Senior, and Test Lead. You’ll learn form validation, boundary values, WCAG accessibility, and security basics by hunting planted defects on real, NZ-flavoured practice pages. The practice pages here build your intuitive "tester's eye."
The Quality Engineering (Automation) track picks up where manual leaves off. Junior SDETs learn robust locators and basic assertions. Mid-levels master Page Objects and CI pipelines. Seniors tackle synthetic data generation, telemetry, and advanced API testing. Architects dive into Infrastructure as Code, Chaos Engineering, and orchestrating Agentic AI meshes.
Running alongside both tracks is our 30-technique reference hub covering every black-box, white-box, experience-based, and management technique. Every technique page follows our new 10-section Teaching Architecture, linking to the practice pages where you can apply it. You can read top-down (technique → practice) or bottom-up (hit a bug you don’t understand → read the technique).
Built for self-learners
This site is for people who want to teach themselves software testing — new graduates looking for a practical portfolio project, career changers coming from development, business analysis, or customer support, ISTQB candidates who want something applied to go with the theory, and working testers in NZ who want a structured practice lab to sharpen specific skills.
No prior coding required for Grad and Junior levels — a browser and curiosity is enough. Senior and Test Lead assume you’ve seen at least one commercial web app before and know what a URL, a cookie, and a form submission look like. If you can read HTML, you can do every exercise on the site.
