API Testing with Python, PyTest & AI-Assisted Automation (Udemy.com)

A lot of cool things were provided, thank you for sharing and really a good job :) Edited to 5 stars, but also I want to ask maybe you know a some special web api for automation testing? I mean which I can use for my personal purpose for example for a custom repo in GitHub and so on like a some warmup REST API Web site? Exclude Woocommerce? :)

Thank you to Admas for creating this course, I feel I have learned many new things. I have previously completed a couple of python courses, but this was the first to provide a big project to build. Coding the project improved my skill with pycharm, I learnt about docker, pytest, SQL, databases and wordpress. Some negative aspects about the course. The setup of Wordpress. I use Linux and the suggested use of MAMP isn't available on Linux. So I had to find another solution myself. I easily found a docker compose file online for a wordpress/mariadb stack. So my wordpress and mariadb ran in docker containers. I had to work out myself static IP for docker containers etc. Once that was sorted I completed the course with no problems. Admas is very quick to answer any questions posted on udemy too. Thanks again, great course.

So far so good. I love the pace. The video on the preview of the end result is great idea. I know what to expect now and it looks very interesting. I am new to testing and I just finished a Selenium WebDriver course. I was advised this should be a good next step and it does look like it. The instructor is understandable and the pace is great. I usually watch videos with 1.5x speed and it is working out good. Loving every minute so far. Update: I am past half in the course and it did not disappoint. So easy to follow and learning a lot. Great course.

Good course with practical example and demonstration on how to build a framework from scratch.If you are starting with python based API testing or want to have an overall knowledge on how to start with building your first framework, you can go for it. All my previous experience was with JAVA based testing framework and recently switched on to python, wanted to have an overall idea on what and which components to use. This course gave me the foundation for that. Thank You @Admas

Just started but well organized. Sounds like a great course. Just went over a table of content which I never seen in another course. It really did excite me knowing what is coming. Sounds like exactly what I am looking for. The instructor is clear and easy to understand. Organization looks good. And the tools we mentioned in the table of content sound familiar and are tools being used by developers at my job. Currently I am entry level manual tester and looking forward to do complete automation. Update: I am now over halfway in the course and still very very happy. Easy to follow and learning a lot. And I asked a question and got a response in few hours. Very grateful for that. I love this course and highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn writing API tests with Python.

The fact of the matter is this is the only 1 of 3 courses on Udemy which fulfill my criteria: REST API Testing on a popular web platform with Python 3 and Pytest. If there were alternatives I would have explored those instead of seeing this through to the end. Unfortunately right from the start this has not been at all a straightforward experience, which could even be described as painful, with weeks combined spent on debugging configurations for MAMP, Wordpress, and Docker, while trying to complete the course. The course content is not well structured. It started by exploring possible setup environments as paths to take, but the actual execution by the instructor afterwards is a confusing mix of those different paths. For the actual execution, the structure doesn't separate the teaching of distinct skills into their own sections and videos. Instead the audience is forced to follow the sequence of the course blindly as the instructor manages to shoehorn in some helpful new techniques in the meantime. To learn all that there is to learn from this course, you can't skip any of the execution videos, and have to follow it through to the end. I am sure that there are many other frustrated viewers who decided to drop this course midway due to this. In contrast, other courses separate the teaching of skills into their own videos, then provide examples where those skills are applied in other ones. This allows those who already have a background in what they're learning or have sufficient confidence in their knowledge to skip parts they don't need. I am also not the only one frustrated by the quality of the course content. If the intention is to teach debugging skills then these need to be separated into their own videos, not be mixed in during what should be sequential and instructive course material. Watching the instructor backtrack to resolve their own mistakes is thoroughly confusing and demoralizing since I am trying to learn something new. Much of the confidence I gained while completing this course wasn't from listening to the instructor, instead it was from successfully debugging my configurations, and not making their mistakes by working ahead of the material. After finishing the execution part of the course I am still not sure which audience the instructor intends to target. Beginners will likely drop it during the set up and configuration portion since there is not enough useful information to avoid the extensive debugging needed to get their environments ready. Intermediates may drop it during the execution portion because this instructor doesn't seem to conform to best practices. I only finished this course because I'd already spent too time on it to drop it. There are also other issues, such as the lack of instructor response to Q&A queries, and the outdated state of the course material. I've seen many queries which have been left without a conclusive response from the instructor, which is not a sign of commitment to helping students. In order to get my code to work, I've had to update my code and configuration so they reflect the new nature of the updated libraries. It's also very glaring that there are few to no notes created in all of the videos, which is a sign of low student engagement with the course. In the end, I did indeed learn how to set up a test framework in Python, using Pytest, to test REST APIs of a popular web platform, and run the framework in a Docker environment. The catch is the countless hours spent debugging and catching instructor errors that I believe could have been avoided if more time was spent on the course design and material quality. If someone were to ask me whether to take this course or not, I would say "only as the last resort".

The way how instructor shows his knowledge is very convenient for me. Live debugging is also useful. At least when I have came to the step of testing/programming. On the beginning I was very confused while initial setup, I have almost drop that course because of continuous mess in configuration. 'What is necessary to install, what is not?' As a Windows user I had issues regarding that part. I think there should appear one document that briefly describes an installation plan for Mac and Windows user. Just a list of programs with alternatives (i.e. no point for installing 'ammps', when I have 'local').

This course covers the functionality well, but the structure of the course needs improving, things need to be made clear from the outset so that you can configure your system, instead you end up installing multiple options of things so you are running multiple applications to suit the courses needs, which doesn't seem right. The first parts of the course are good but as it get towards the end it feels rushed and it's difficult to understand what is good practice and what is not. Overall the coverage is good but the execution needs improvement.

Really don't know why this course's rating is so high. The best practices and valuable things are heavily mixed with poor practices here. Use with caution and at your own risk. Don't apply all what you see in this course in real life, save the nerves of your colleagues. Apart from that, the presentation quality is quite poor as well. That's fine to anticipate common mistakes, but it's not OK when a presenter does not realize what's happening. Plenty of student's time could be saved and more clarity given with cleaner videos. I would expect much more passion for excellence from a person pretending to be an instructor.

Great!

I am just getting started with the course and am really enjoying it. Just one incident makes this course a must-have. I was trying something other than what Admas had recommended for the local wordpress setup and something went wrong. I posted some information in the Q&A section and rather than telling me to do it the way he has shown he made the effort to reproduce my entire local setup and solved my problem. Along with encouragement. I have rarely seen that in any course. I am glad I am learning through this course and will keep you posted on my progress.
The other really cool thing we're doing in this course is setting up our own backend api with woocommerce instead of using a third party api. I am learning a lot through that process and it is a grest idea to have some familiarity with the wordpress environment in general - even just for the backend as it is so pervasive.
I am glad to be Admas' student. Come join us :)

Nice course for beginners in Api testing/Python/Cucumber
