An LLM says things; an agent does things — calls tools, changes records, sends messages, spends money. This two-month advanced course teaches you to validate that behaviour: tool selection and argument correctness, trajectory evaluation, memory and cross-user isolation, multi-agent handoffs, indirect prompt injection and excessive agency, agent metrics from task success to cost per completed task, offline golden-task harnesses with mocked tools, and the production quality engineering that keeps an agent trustworthy after release.
Why Agent Testing Is the Hardest Problem in QA Right Now
The gap between an LLM defect and an agent defect is the gap between an embarrassment and an incident. A model that produces a wrong sentence has given a bad answer. An agent that selects the right tool with subtly wrong arguments has issued a refund, cancelled a booking, deleted a record or sent an email — and the output that preceded it read perfectly. Everything that makes agents useful is what makes them consequential to test.
It is also genuinely harder. There is no single correct path: two trajectories can both complete the task, one in four steps and one in eleven, and both are passes by end-state and very different by cost. The agent may recover from an error you never intended to inject. It may loop. It may finish early and declare success. Testing has to judge the journey as well as the destination, which is a form of assertion no traditional QA course teaches.
The scarcity follows from the difficulty. Companies deploying agents are discovering that their existing QA cannot evaluate them and their AI team is optimising for capability rather than for failure. The role that sits between — AI quality engineering — is thinly staffed and paid accordingly. This is the most advanced course in the Testing & QA category and it is honest about that: it expects automation experience, Python, and LLM evaluation fundamentals before you start.
- Trajectory evaluation — judging the path, not only the final answer
- Tool-call testing: wrong tool, bad arguments, tool failures, retries, idempotency
- Memory testing, including cross-user and cross-session leakage
- Indirect prompt injection and excessive agency — the agent-specific security surface
- Golden-task harness with mocked tools, run as a CI release gate
- Production quality engineering — tracing, drift, failed-task capture, review queues
- Vendor-neutral: patterns over frameworks, so it survives the churn

Why agents need their own testing course
- An LLM says things; an agent does things — a wrong tool call is a refund issued, a record deleted, an email sent.
- There is no single correct path, so success has to be judged on the trajectory as well as the end state.
- Memory makes failures irreproducible, and cross-user memory leakage is a release-stopping defect.
- Indirect prompt injection targets an agent that has permission to act on what it just read.
This course versus the Agentic AI developer course
What projects will you build?
What jobs and salaries follow this course in Pune?
This is the thinnest-staffed skill in the category, and the reason is structural rather than temporary. Organisations deploying agents have a QA function that cannot evaluate them and an AI team optimising for capability rather than for failure. The person who sits between — who can say what the agent did, how often, at what cost, and what it must never be allowed to do — is doing a job neither existing team is set up for.
Titles have not settled. Agentic AI Test Engineer, AI Quality Engineer, AI Evaluation Engineer and Senior AI QA Engineer describe overlapping work, and you should read responsibilities rather than headings. Where the work concentrates is clearer: product companies and GCC captives with agents in production, AI-first startups facing enterprise security reviews, and platform teams inside services firms building agent practices for clients.
The honest constraint is the entry bar. This course assumes automation experience, working Python, and LLM evaluation fundamentals — realistically the LLM & RAG Testing course or equivalent work experience. It is the most advanced course in this category and it will not convert a fresher into an AI quality engineer. Placement support is included; placement is not guaranteed, and the institute-records rate is 90% across all tracks.

Roles after this Agentic AI Testing course
How long is the course, and what batch options are there?
Duration: 2 months — 8 weeks of taught content, plus the capstone harness build
Maximum 12 per batch on this track, because the capstone review is individual and substantial. New batches roughly every 8 weeks. Entry is by prerequisite check — the LLM & RAG Testing course, or a short assessment if your experience is from work.
What are the Agentic AI Testing course fees in Pune?
What placement support do you get?
Placement support is included at no separate charge. On this track the capstone does most of the persuading: a golden task dataset, a trajectory evaluator, a safety suite and a CI gate is not a portfolio piece most candidates can produce, and it moves an interview from theory to a walkthrough of your own work.
We do not guarantee placement. The institute-records rate is 90% across all tracks, measured on learners who complete training and clear at least one mock-interview round. On this track the most common outcome is an internal move into an AI quality role, because the organisations that need this skill are usually the ones already employing the learner.
How does Archer Infotech compare with other institutes?
Factual rows. Worth using as a checklist against any agent-testing course, including this one.
| Factor | Archer Infotech | Typical Pune institute |
|---|---|---|
| Trajectory evaluation | A full module plus a working evaluator — critical steps, loops, premature completion, recovery | End-state pass/fail only, which scores a lucky four-step path and an eleven-step one identically |
| Tool-call testing | Wrong tool, no-tool, invalid and plausible-but-wrong arguments, permissions, retries, idempotency | Checks that the expected tool was called |
| Memory | Stale, incorrect and conflicting memory, user correction, and cross-user leakage | Not covered — memory is treated as an implementation detail |
| Security | Indirect injection, exfiltration, excessive agency, confirmation gates, auditability | Direct prompt injection, demonstrated once |
| Framework dependence | Patterns first; agent frameworks and MCP shown as illustration | Tied to one orchestration framework, and dated within a year |
| Deliverable | A CI-gated harness with golden tasks, evaluators, safety suite and a quality report | Notebook exercises against a demo agent |
| Entry honesty | Prerequisite check before enrolment; states plainly this will not convert a fresher | Open to all, with the drop-out rate that implies |
The question worth asking: does the course test what the agent did, or only what it finally said? Everything that costs money sits in the first half.
Agentic AI Testing or the Agentic AI developer course — which do you want?
They share a subject and almost nothing else. The Agentic AI course under AI & GenAI teaches you to build agents: planning loops, tool design, memory, orchestration, deployment. This course teaches you to validate them: whether the right tool was called with the right arguments, whether the path was defensible, whether memory leaked across users, and whether the agent can be talked into an action by a document it read.
Take the developer course if you want to build the product. Take this one if you want to be the person who can say it is safe to ship — a role that is currently scarcer and, in organisations with agents in production, more urgently needed. Many people eventually do both, and the order does not much matter; each makes the other easier.
The prerequisite question is separate and firmer. Whichever you choose, this testing course expects LLM evaluation fundamentals first, from our LLM & RAG Testing course or from equivalent work. Agent evaluation uses golden datasets, rubrics and validated judges throughout and adds trajectory analysis on top of them.
What are the prerequisites, and how do you start?
Entry is checked before enrolment rather than discovered in week three. You need automation and API testing experience, working Python and pytest, and LLM testing fundamentals — realistically our Generative AI, LLM & RAG Testing course, or equivalent experience from work, in which case a short assessment substitutes. This is the most advanced course in the Testing & QA category and the prerequisites are real ones, not recommendations. If your team already runs an agent, bring it: the course works far better against a system you own than against a teaching example, and corporate batches are built around exactly that.
- Confirm you can write pytest fixtures and mock an external dependency
- Complete LLM & RAG Testing, or book an assessment if your experience is from work
- Write down every irreversible action your agent can take — that list is your safety suite
- Download the full syllabus above and check modules 3, 4 and 7 against your gaps
- Book a free counselling call, or ask about a corporate batch if your team ships agents
Frequently Asked Questions
What is agentic AI testing?
It evaluates AI agents that use tools, hold memory and run multi-step workflows — checking tool selection and arguments, the trajectory the agent took, its recovery from errors, memory correctness and isolation, safety against prompt injection, and whether the task actually completed.
Read moreShow less
It judges what the agent did, not only what it finally said.
How is testing an agent different from testing an LLM?
An LLM produces text; an agent takes actions — calling tools, changing records, sending messages, spending money.
Read moreShow less
A wrong sentence is a quality defect. A tool call with plausible but wrong arguments is a refund issued or a record deleted. Agents also have no single correct path, so the trajectory has to be evaluated alongside the outcome.
What is trajectory evaluation?
Judging the path an agent took, not just its end state. It checks that critical steps happened, permits alternative valid paths, and detects missing or duplicate steps, repeated identical calls, loops, premature completion and wrong ordering.
Read moreShow less
Error recovery counts positively — an agent that erred and corrected itself can be better than one that succeeded by luck.
Do I need to complete the LLM & RAG Testing course first?
Realistically yes, or equivalent experience from work with a short assessment.
Read moreShow less
Agent evaluation uses golden datasets, rubrics and validated judges throughout and adds trajectory and tool-call analysis on top. Learners who skip it spend the first fortnight here learning that material at a worse pace.
What is the difference between this and the Agentic AI developer course?
The Agentic AI course under AI & GenAI teaches building agents — planning loops, tool design, memory, orchestration.
Read moreShow less
This course teaches validating them — tool calls, trajectories, memory isolation, safety and release gates. Both are legitimate careers; the skills overlap less than people expect, and the two courses cross-link rather than repeat each other.
What is excessive agency, and why does it matter?
An agent permitted to do more than its task requires — read access it never needs, a delete tool present for a read-only workflow, no confirmation before an irreversible action.
Read moreShow less
It converts a reasoning mistake into a real-world consequence. Testing for it means checking tool allowlists, permission boundaries and confirmation gates, not just outputs.
How long is the Agentic AI Testing course and what does it cost?
Two months — eight weeks plus the capstone harness, in evening or weekend batches, with batches capped at 12 because capstone review is individual.
Read moreShow less
Fees sit in the ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 band with EMI available. Model API usage is not included and is kept small by using mocked tools. Call 9822052088 for batch dates.
Which agent frameworks does the course teach?
None as a dependency. Agent tooling turns over faster than any other part of this stack, so patterns lead and named products — including Model Context Protocol — appear as illustration.
Read moreShow less
You build a Python test harness with pytest and tool mocks that works against whatever framework your team chose.
Can you test an agent without connecting it to real systems?
Yes, and you should. Most of the course uses mocked tools with deliberate failure injection — that is what makes runs repeatable, keeps API costs near zero, and avoids an agent test that books a real flight.

Sandboxed real tools are covered for the cases that genuinely need them, with the risks stated.
Is this course suitable for AI developers rather than testers?
Yes, and developers moving into evaluation are a growing part of these batches.
Read moreShow less
You will already know the architecture and will find the evaluation discipline new — golden tasks, trajectory scoring, safety regression and release thresholds. The course assumes testing fundamentals, so expect the strategy and test-design modules to be the work.
Is placement assistance included?
Yes, at no extra charge — resume rewriting around AI quality engineering, capstone review, two mock interviews covering evaluation design and agent safety, and introductions to partner companies running agents.

Placement is not guaranteed; the institute-records rate is 90% across all tracks. On this track internal moves are as common as external ones.
