Course Description
Ready to master modern web automation and testing with one of the most powerful next-gen tools available? If you're looking to level up your skills and gain real-world experience using a cutting-edge Selenium-based framework, this hands-on course on WebdriverIO is exactly what you need.
Designed to be as practical and beginner-friendly as possible, this comprehensive course dives straight into coding exercises and projects right from the start. All you need is a basic understanding of programming—preferably in JavaScript—along with Node.js and a code editor. Whether you're a budding QA engineer, a developer wanting to add automation to your skillset, or simply curious about how modern testing works, you'll find immense value here.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to install, configure, and manage multiple testing projects using WebdriverIO. You'll explore how to interact with web elements through the WebdriverIO API and implement the Page Object design pattern—a widely adopted best practice in test automation. You’ll even build your own automation framework using TypeScript, gaining valuable experience with typed codebases.
But we don’t stop there. You’ll also be introduced to behavior-driven development (BDD) using two popular tools: CodeceptJS and Cucumber. Plus, you’ll perform visual regression testing using Percy, and integrate your automation setup with Jenkins for continuous integration and robust testing pipelines.
We’ll also take your skills to the cloud with cross-browser testing on BrowserStack, and share real-world tips, techniques, and insights from experienced automation professionals.
Throughout the course, you’ll enjoy a supportive, collaborative learning environment, where you're encouraged to ask questions, share insights, and get help when needed—from both the instructor and fellow students. Stuck on something? You can always post in the Q&A or send a private message to get personalized guidance.
Remember, the journey to becoming a skilled automation tester is a process—and this course is designed to support you every step of the way. So don’t wait—enroll now and take the first step toward becoming a confident WebdriverIO automation expert!

The course was good and contained a lot of valuable information. However, there were a few things I felt were missing: 1. There were not many practical tests or hands-on assignments. While it’s possible to code along with the videos and pause to try things independently, having dedicated practical tasks with solutions would add a lot of value. 2. I would have appreciated having practice materials, links, and resources directly linked to each lecture. At times, I had to pause the video and manually rewrite URLs because I couldn’t find them linked anywhere (I checked all available sections, so this may not have been obvious). 3. I would have liked a bit more coverage of WebdriverIO architectural best practices. Overall, the course is good and provides a solid understanding of how WebdriverIO works.

The instruction was to the point and concise but also gives lots of examples. I also like that topics are divided into smaller sections. I also like how the instructor explained and picked topics that are popular, important and useful for testing professionals.

Muy bueno como introduccion, podria agregar un segundo curso con mas ejemplos y problemas cotidianos como scroll para encontrar elementos, tomarle capturas de pantallas, etc

Pros: -Clear and easy to understand course content -Short and clear videos helps focusing in the content -Works for people with limited knowledge on Automation Cons -Some course videos are outdated and should be updated. An example of this can be the initial setup -Course has some structure problems (For example duplicated videos at the end) -Even though the course is getting updated, the updates were not reachable when I finished this course (07/13/2021). This may be an Udemy-Side Problem

Course is on a pretty basic level, not much advance stuff. Also a little bit messy when course not following the same project. A lot of sections with "coming up next" but never seems to be added. Instructor doesnt seem to answer any questions. I posted a question a week back but never got an reply

I finished the course and it was outstanding. The amount of content is fantastic.. --So far the videos are short and to the point. This is very good so far. BTW your English is very understandable, and your cadence is great.

By Lorand Terebesi on 9/24/2020
I like it a lot, helpful.
By Victor H Gomez on 9/24/2020
Never replied to you questions when you need help, ive messaged him and also never got a response, I deleted my previous review to see maybe he would help, but he only called me a liar on my last review. I've contacted udemy customer support and reported a claim and will also ask for a full refund .
