Learn QA & QE
by doing it.

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.

Note on progress: Your completed exercises and Mini-Hunts are saved directly to your browser’s local storage — no account needed. Clearing your browser cache or switching devices will reset your progress. If you want to track progress across devices, bookmark where you left off.

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. The stack — Playwright, Node.js, GitHub Actions — is what NZ enterprise, government, and telco hiring panels ask for by name; we chose it because it is what you will actually use.

Running alongside both tracks is our 78-technique library 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).

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.
