Real-World QA Projects (5 Portfolio Projects)

Why Projects Beat Theory

Employers hire proof. Five documented projects with test cases, bug reports and CI badges beat any certificate. Publish everything on GitHub.

Project 1: E-Commerce Testing (Manual)

• Scope: login, search, cart, checkout, payment, orders.
• Deliverables: 60+ test cases, RTM, 10+ bug reports with screenshots, regression suite.
• Tools: spreadsheet cases, browser devtools.

Project 2: REST API Testing (Postman + Newman)

• Scope: user API with auth plus CRUD; validate status, schema, DB rows.
• Deliverables: Postman collection, environments, data-driven runs, Newman in CI.
• Stretch: negative auth matrix and rate-limit checks.

Project 3: Selenium Automation (Java + TestNG + POM)

• Scope: login to checkout flows automated end to end.
• Deliverables: Page Objects, DataProvider CSV, parallel testng.xml, ExtentReport with screenshots.
• Run it on Jenkins or GitHub Actions on every push.

Project 4: Banking App (Security + DB Focus)

• Scope: login, accounts, fund transfer, history.
• Deliverables: IDOR/auth test log, SQLi/XSS probe sheet, transfer integrity SQL checks, session tests.

Project 5: Full QA Automation Pipeline

Java -> Selenium -> TestNG/JUnit -> Maven -> Git -> Jenkins/GitHub Actions -> Reports

One repo proving the whole chain: unit plus API plus UI suites, Dockerised runs, badges green. This is your interview story.
