Test Mentor

What Test Mentor does

Test Mentor is a Vietnam-based education and services company founded in 2020 that delivers software testing training to aspiring and working QA professionals. Its curriculum covers four paid courses — Basic Software Testing, API Testing (basic to advanced), Security Testing (covering OWASP Top 10), and Automation Testing with Katalon Studio — supplemented by two free self-paced courses on Test Case writing and Selenium WebDriver that act as top-of-funnel lead generation. The platform is operated by a small team led by founder Sang Bui (B.S. Computing, University of Greenwich), supported by content creator Lan Hoang and Katalon Studio mentor Vi Kim. All training is delivered in Vietnamese and offered in both online self-serve and offline formats, anchored in Ho Chi Minh City.

The underlying technology is a standard WordPress-based content and course delivery site (testmentor.vn) rather than a proprietary learning platform; differentiation comes from instructor-led mentorship and a curriculum designed to be immediately applicable in working QA roles. The company also operates a corporate services arm providing consulting, automation testing implementation, application security assessments, and staff training to Vietnamese software companies. Marketing relies on blog content, a Facebook page, Zalo messaging for direct consultation, free courses as acquisition funnels, and recurring community events such as the Testing Talkshow series and Test Mentor Connect.

Revenue is generated from two streams: paid individual course enrollments and B2B corporate training/consulting engagements, with no public pricing or disclosed revenue figures. The customer base is split between individual learners (primary) and software companies seeking workforce upskilling (secondary), all within Vietnam. The company has raised no external funding and is privately held by its founder.

Regional players

• Howkteam: Vietnamese-language tech tutorial and training platform covering multiple programming and testing topics. Directly comparable regional peer competing for Vietnamese learners seeking self-paced tech upskilling content.
• FPT Software Academy: Vietnam-based IT training arm of FPT Software offering structured software and QA programs. Comparable regional competitor with stronger corporate backing, contesting Test Mentor's corporate training and entry-level tester pipeline in Vietnam.
• Kteam: Vietnamese tech tutorial community offering free and paid courses on programming and related skills. Comparable in language, audience (Vietnamese self-learners), and self-paced delivery format to Test Mentor's free and paid course stack.

Direct peers

• Ministry of Testing: Global community and training provider dedicated to software testers, offering courses, events, and certifications. Closely comparable to Test Mentor in mission and audience (QA professionals seeking upskilling), though it operates globally rather than Vietnam-only.
• The Testing Academy: Testing-focused training provider (India-based) offering courses in manual, automation, and API testing. Comparable niche specialization and course structure to Test Mentor, with a regional rather than global footprint.
• Test Automation University (Applitools): Free online testing-focused curriculum covering automation, API, and visual testing with structured courses. Direct overlap with Test Mentor's free Selenium WebDriver and paid API/automation course offerings, and a benchmark for PLG-style testing education.

Broad incumbents

• Udemy: Global online course marketplace with a wide catalog of software-testing courses at low price points. Competes with Test Mentor's paid courses on price and breadth, though lacking Test Mentor's local mentorship and corporate-training angle.
• Coursera: Large online education platform with university-backed software testing and QA specializations. Competes for the same upskilling learner, but at global scale and with credentialed, university-partnered programs versus Test Mentor's mentor-led model.
• Katalon (Katalon Academy): Established testing automation platform that offers its own training curriculum around Katalon Studio. Overlaps directly with Test Mentor's paid Katalon Studio course while also being a broader incumbent in the testing-tool market.

Emerging players

• LambdaTest: Cloud testing platform with an active learning hub of testing courses, certifications, and community events. Comparable as a vendor-led testing education channel that competes with Test Mentor for the same self-improving tester audience.
