Your Map to the Testing Wilderness

Every wilderness has a map. In BugEater, that map is the content hierarchy — the structured path that takes you from "I just signed up" to "I know exactly what I'm doing and I've got the XP to prove it."

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson you will be able to:

• Describe the four levels of the BugEater content hierarchy
• Navigate between the Courses, Modules, and Practices pages
• Read and interpret every chip on a course or module card
• Use the filter sidebar to find exactly what you're looking for

The Content Hierarchy

BugEater organises knowledge into four nested levels:

Course (Trail)
  └── Module
        └── Lesson
              └── Quiz
        └── Practice

Think of it like a city:

• Course is the city itself — a broad topic area like "Foundations of Manual Testing."
• Module is a neighbourhood — a focused theme within the course.
• Lesson is a building — a single, digestible unit of knowledge, always ending with a quiz.
• Practice is the gym — a hands-on challenge where you apply what you've learned, no theory required.

The Courses (Trails) Page

The Courses page at /courses is your starting point. Each card represents a full learning path. Here's what you'll see:

A progress bar appears on the card when you've started a course, showing how far along you are.

Filters

The filter sidebar lets you narrow the list by:

• Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
• Profession: Manual QA, Automation QA, BA

The Modules Page

The Modules page at /modules shows every module across all courses — great for when you want to browse by topic rather than by course. The same chips appear on module cards.

Modules have one extra filter not found on the Courses page: Filter by Course. This lets you see all modules belonging to a specific course.

The Practices Page

Practices are standalone challenges. The Practices page is on its way — watch for updates in the News Feed on your Dashboard.

Pro Tips

Start with filters. If you know your profession (Manual QA, Automation QA, or BA), filter immediately. You'll see only the content that's relevant to your role.

Check the time chip first. A 5-minute lesson is a perfect coffee-break activity. A 60-minute course needs a proper time block. Plan accordingly.

Progress bars are your compass. If a card shows a progress bar, you've already started. Come back and finish — your streak will thank you.

Summary

BugEater's content hierarchy (Course → Module → Lesson → Practice) gives you a clear path to follow. Every card on every page gives you the same four signals: time, XP, level, and profession. Use the filter sidebars to cut through the noise and find exactly what you need.

Now let's look at the place you'll return to every single day: your Dashboard.
