Very Efffective Course. Just a couple of things I want to add 1) The Course is in C#, which is not mentioned at the beginning. I would request to either mention this in the Course Title &/OR add 1 Section for C# Tutorial here (so that Persons like Me who haven't worked on C# earlier can work on that first) 2) Requesting to please add Tutorials on Agentic AI in this Course using both Selenium & Playwright

Selenium example was perfectly but the playwright section could also been tested high level but as well detailed, that will also give more context to this course and section.
By Daniel Vargas on 6/7/2026
The content was easy to follow and understand but there was some extra back tracking in all the sections that became a bit tedious. For complete beginners this is a great course but intermediate and above it is a bit repetitive and slow. Also Adding C as part of the title description would be a bit better/transparent for complete beginners that probably are using other languages. Still would recommend this for anyone that's starting or mid level and want to learn a bit of AI-driven TA

I am on halfway to course and realised that the course is very good for beginners. But since this is an AI course many people who don't know coding may also join. For them a simplest language to see code for first time would be Python but not C#. Other than that going good so far. Thanks KK.

Amazing course! I'm a QA engineer from São Paulo and this completely changed how I do test automation. The AI self-healing concepts finally make sense and I'm already using Ollama at work. Karthik explains everything clearly even though English isn't my first language. Totally worth it!

There are many details to comprehend, but it opens up a whole new world of how we can enhance our existing automation tests without the need for new tools. This could be a game-changer if we implement it in our work. The company I work for doesn’t have the feature yet, but I’ll need to request it from my management. It’s a future-proof course.
By Tunsi on 10/28/2025
Great course and a lot of learning! I’m expecting the author to not cover so much detail. Sometimes, I feel like the author goes on explaining too much of a detail. I suppose it will be helpful for someone without a programming background, but it’s a bit too much for me. However, I’m still happy with the overall course; it’s great so far. Thanks

There is no course in the Internet which talks how we can use LLMs for automation testing for Selenium and Playwright. I think this is the ONLY course which covers 1. AutoHealing 2. Visual Testing 3. Semantic Context 4. API AI Automation Very detailed and well explained course ! Recommended !
By Niana on 10/27/2025
This is my 6th Course from Karthik on AI and I love the way he tells the entire topic and keep the discussion so much engaging. Now, I can figure out why he tells how to use LLMs for automation. Highly recommended course for anyone who want to implement intelligent AI based Test Automation framework in their organization
By Martin on 10/27/2025
This should be one of the kind of course which explains why we need AI rather using it just for Vibe coding. Now it makes complete sense. Now it opens me whole new world to implement the same for different scenarios for my automation I am doing.
