Software Quality Assurance and Test Engineering (Optional Co-op) is a one-year Ontario Graduate Certificate at Conestoga College, delivered through hybrid instruction over two academic terms plus an optional co-op term. The program teaches software testing and quality assurance practices, covering testing paradigms, methodologies, and tools used throughout modern software development processes, with a focus on automated testing, cybersecurity testing, and test strategy design. Students learn to plan, execute, and document test cases, identify defects, and apply quality assurance processes across the software development lifecycle. Classroom instruction is combined with applied testing projects that reflect current industry practices, and an optional co-op term allows students to gain work experience in a software testing role. Graduates are prepared for roles such as quality assurance analyst, software tester, and test engineer, applying automated and manual testing skills to support software development teams across technology and other industries.
