Can QABattle prepare me for AI and human QA interviews?

Yes. Timed QA battles train the concise judgment expected in AI-screened assessments and the structured explanations expected in human-led technical rounds. You practice real testing decisions, receive an instant score, and review official solutions before the next interview.

Is QABattle really free?

Yes. Every track, battle, badge, and leaderboard in Phase 1 is completely free. Sign in with LinkedIn and start battling.

I'm new to testing, is this for me?

Absolutely. Battles are graded Easy to Boss, and your dashboard recommends challenges matched to your level. Every battle ships with an official solution, so even a losing fight teaches you something.

Real (deliberately broken) mini-apps embedded in the arena. You explore, find seeded defects, and file structured bug reports, scored on what you found, how well you reported it, and how much you explored.

How does scoring work?

Every battle scores 0-100, multiplied by difficulty (Easy ×1 up to Boss ×3). Points feed your XP, level, streak, and the leaderboards. Retry any battle: your best score is what counts.

What testing skills are covered?

Eight tracks: manual testing, test automation, API testing, AI & LLM evals (DeepEval, RAGAS), agentic AI testing (RAG, MCP, LangChain), performance, accessibility, and security.

Who builds the challenges?

The Testing Academy team, the same crew behind the testing courses trusted by thousands of QA engineers. Real-world scenarios, not textbook trivia.
