The problem isn't you, It’s your stack

Right now,

the tools in the job posts aren't the tools you use, they are asking for, Playwright, CI pipelines, AI-assisted test generation.

How it feels:

the gap widens every sprint, and nobody handed you the new playbook.

In a year: same suite, same band, less leverage.

The QA market just split in two.

Where QA was

The old playbook

  • You write test cases by hand
  • You spend your week keeping flaky tests alive.
  • Your band stops moving.
Where QA is going

AI-Driven playbook

  • AI writes the repetitive tests. You direct it
  • You build the automation leadership actually trusts.
  • You're the engineer teams are looking for and can't find.

The 3 Skills That Mean Higher Pay And Job Security

Modern testing isn't manual clicking anymore.

Web · Playwright

The framework replacing Selenium

It's faster, it's more reliable, and it's the automation skill showing up in the best-paid QA job posts.

76.8% of testing teams already use AI

Mobile · XCUITest · Maestro

The skill almost nobody teaches

Automate real iOS and Android apps end to end. Mobile automation is scarce, hard to hire for, and paid at a premium because of it.

Automation testing: $28B → $55B by 2028

AI · Copilot · Cursor · Claude

The leverage that makes you fast

Write, refactor and stabilize tests in a fraction of the time. This is the difference between keeping up and being the one your team relies on.

Playwright roles: ~$116k avg, $169k+ at the top*

Is this You?

You're strong at test design but haven't shipped real automation in years and you can feel that gap widening.

You write automation already and you've stopped growing. Peers doing "the AI stuff" are getting pulled onto platform teams.

You're between roles and you need proof in your hands, not another certificate.

I know how to test APIs and UIs… but I'm not efficient enough.

That's the gap this path closes

I recently completed the “Mastering Web Automation with AI” Playwright course, and it has been a transformative experience. One of the standout features of this course is its hands-on approach. You'll dive deep into automation techniques, learning practical skills that you can immediately apply to your projects.

Craig Herring

Thanks so much for offering this valuable course! It was very informative and the hands-on exercises made the learning experience even better, since this kind of learning is best done by practicing. I look forward to taking the other classes you have available here at Engenious University!

Irina Iv

5.0

Absolutely outstanding course! I'm beyond impressed. The content was not only incredibly well-structured and informative, but also engaging from start to finish. Every lesson felt purposeful, and the instructor did an exceptional job of explaining complex topics in a way that was easy to grasp. I came in with limited knowledge

Maryna Kalachova

Good and straight to the point course! Gives all the important information to get started with XCUITest and doesn't overwhelm with too much theory. Techniques provided here are more advanced than other courses on XCUITest.

To:your manager
Subject:Quick training request — AI test automation

Hi [manager],

I'd like to take Engenious University's AI Career Booster — a self-paced program on modern web and mobile test automation with AI tools (Playwright, XCUITest, Maestro, Copilot).

It's $299 for 6 months and I can do it at ~30 min/day without affecting delivery. It'll help me [cut flaky tests / speed up regression / bring AI-assisted testing to the team].

Could this come from our training budget?

Thanks, [you]

Walk into interviews with proof, and into your own team as the engineer who architects the testing workflow.

Everything you need to know before joining.

Yes – new lectures are added every week. When a new tool starts appearing in job descriptions, it's in the curriculum fast. Our instructors are active in the market and watch what hiring managers are actually asking for. You're not learning a frozen 2023 syllabus.

You need working experience in QA — test design, bug triage, basic tool familiarity. You don't need to be a developer. The program teaches you automation from a QA-first perspective, not a developer perspective. If you've been a manual or basic-automation QA for 1+ years, you're at the right level.

Igor Dorovskikh has 15+ years in QA and has worked at Tinder, Expedia, and consulted at Apple and Grammarly.

Gregory Goldshteyn is an award-winning QA leader who's shipped at Salesforce and Sony.

Daniel Augustynowicz is an active iOS developer and SDET, has 

These are engineers who are currently in the market — not retired lecturers.

Three things:

  • the curriculum updates weekly (YouTube channels don't)
  • your actual code gets reviewed by working engineers (Udemy doesn't)
  • you build a real portfolio with mentorship – not just watch videos and take quizzes.

Our 100% job placement rate comes from those three things, not from content alone.

Yes – especially if you're not actively using AI in your testing workflow. The program teaches the modern stack that's replacing older frameworks in hiring posts, plus the AI-augmented workflow that pushes comp into the upper salary bands. Most plateaued automation QAs get more out of this than manual QAs.

You can apply on this page, use the button below and pick preferred subscription plan: monthly or for 6 months. The latter has more benefits included.

AI Career Booster is for:

  • Software testers who want to upskill fast.
  • Manual QAs who want to stay relevant.
  • QA professionals who were laid off.
  • Test engineers managing large test suites.
  • People aiming to become strong Web SDETs.
  • Teams adopting low-code automation frameworks.
  • QA engineers working on Android or iOS apps.
  • Anyone wanting AI-assisted mobile test generation.

The program is designed for people with a full-time job. Plan for roughly 30–60 minutes per day of structured learning, plus time for your projects. Most students finish within 2–6 months. You go at your own pace — there are no cohort deadlines.
