Course: SDET Coding Mastery | Java for Technical Interviews
TL;DR/ Key Takeaways:
- Build Java coding confidence from the ground up, designed for manual testers and QA professionals who want to become interview ready for SDET roles.
- Follow a step by step learning path that combines theory and practice, with multiple levels that progress from basics to more advanced problem solving.
- Learn how to think like an interviewer expects by solving each problem using three approaches: brute force, better, and optimal, with clear time and space complexity tradeoffs.
- Strengthen core Java fundamentals used in interviews, including input and output, data types, type conversion, conditionals, switch logic, and logical operators.
- Build strong loop and pattern logic, including nested loop control and pattern printing, to improve solution visualization before writing code.
- Master math based coding essentials that commonly appear in screens, including divide and modulo techniques for digit counting, number reversal, and palindrome checks.
- Get hands on with core data structures required for technical interviews: arrays, strings, stacks, queues, lists, sets, and maps.
- Learn Java Collections deeply with practical methods and behaviors, including List operations, Map key value thinking, and Set uniqueness rules.
- Apply high frequency interview patterns used in SDET coding rounds, including two pointer, slow fast pointer, sliding window, and greedy style thinking.
- Practice classic interview problem types such as removing duplicates, moving zeroes, intersections, searching and sorting, subarrays, two sum, valid palindrome, and longest substring without repeating characters.ย
- Learn how to identify fixed window vs variable window problems and implement efficient solutions using pointers and HashMap tracking.ย
- Improve problem solving speed and clarity through dry runs, debugging techniques, and stepwise explanation habits that help in real interviews.

Course description:
This free certification course is built for manual testers and QA engineers who need to develop real coding ability from the ground up. Starting with Java fundamentals and progressing through arrays, strings, and essential data structures, each topic is approached at three levels โ brute force, better, and optimal.
The focus throughout is on pattern recognition: learning to identify and apply the Two-Pointer, Sliding Window, and other core algorithmic techniques that appear most frequently in SDET technical interviews. By the end, you will be able to visualize solutions clearly and implement them efficiently in Java.
