GenAI and agentic AI skills for QA and test engineers

GenAI & Agentic AI Skills Every QA and Test Engineer Needs in 2026

Written by the AgileFever editorial team. Program details were checked against the live program pages in October 2026. We teach this course. Skills and modules come from its program page, checked on October 26, 2026. We do not quote its time-saving claims because we cannot verify them for your team.

Short answer. The GenAI & Agentic AI course for QA and test engineers teaches six skills in two groups: using AI to do QA work faster (test plans, automation scripts, bug reports, regression agents, triage) and testing AI-powered products with golden datasets and evaluation frameworks. The second group is newer for most teams, so check it against your own roadmap. It costs $450 for 12 hours.

AI changes QA in two directions at once. The tools can write test cases and scripts, and the products being tested increasingly contain language models whose output varies from run to run. A tester has to be able to do the first and judge the second. This post lists each skill, where it is taught, and what is left for you to practise.

The six skills

Skill What you do Module Direction Left for you to practise
Test plan and case generation Turn a feature spec into positive, negative and edge-case coverage 1 AI for QA Checking that generated cases match real requirements
Automation scripts and self-healing tests Generate Selenium, Cypress or Playwright scripts with a Page Object Model and self-healing locators 2 AI for QA Maintaining scripts in your own framework
Bug reports Turn logs, screenshots and reproduction steps into a report with severity and root-cause context 3 AI for QA Your team’s triage rules and severity scale
Regression, performance and security agents Agents for regression with baseline comparison, load testing, and OWASP Top 10 checks 4 AI for QA Wiring agents into your pipeline
AI and LLM evaluation testing Golden datasets, LLM-as-judge against human raters, DeepEval, RAGAS and Promptfoo, hallucination, drift and prompt-injection testing 5 Testing AI A golden dataset for your own product
Bug triage and quality reporting agents Automatic severity classification and routing, duplicate detection, quality dashboards and trends 6 AI for QA Calibrating it to your backlog
Modules by direction

Testing AI-powered features (5)1

Only one module in six is about testing AI products, and that one is the most specific to this moment. Module 5 builds a golden dataset and runs it through a real evaluation framework, and it covers the failure types that traditional test cases miss: hallucinated facts, behaviour drifting between releases, and prompt injection. If your product ships an LLM feature, that module is the reason to take the course. If it does not, modules 1 to 4 and 6 are the main value.

What to expect from AI-generated tests

A generated test plan can be thorough and still miss the one case that matters, because the model does not know your users or your history of defects. The practical habit is to treat AI output as a first draft and review it as you would a junior colleague’s work. The course frames its outcomes the same way. Test cases and scripts are generated, and you decide what goes into the suite.

Where the course stops

  • It is not a test automation course. It assumes you already know Selenium or Cypress.
  • It does not teach model training or evaluation theory beyond what testers use.
  • It cannot decide your quality bar for AI features. That is a decision for your team and your product owner.

For a longer career view, read QA Engineer to AI Test Engineer and the use cases for QA and test engineers. Fees and what is included are in the course fees post. The program page is GenAI & Agentic AI for QA and Test Engineers.

Questions people ask

Do I need to know LLM APIs already?

No. The page says no prior OpenAI or LLM API experience is required, and the course covers it.

Is it useful if my product has no AI features?

Yes for modules 1 to 4 and 6, which use AI to speed up normal QA work. Module 5 matters most if you test LLM-based features.

Are sessions recorded?

Yes. Live sessions are recorded.
