Last updated September 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,378 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Karthik KK's course is a build-along for a Selenium test framework in Java. The syllabus shows 110 lectures and about 12.8 hours across 14 sections: base components, utilities, config, a test layer, custom Selenium controls, Grid and parallel runs, and Extent reporting. Later sections add Cucumber and a Selenium 4 upgrade. The requirements are blunt. Good Java, basic Selenium and OOP are expected, plus some database knowledge. Despite the All Levels label, this is not a first Selenium course. About 11,500 students have enrolled.

Reviewers like the teaching. They call it detailed, direct and easy to follow, and the Extent reports with parallel runs section gets a specific shout-out. One student says they can use the framework directly in day-to-day testing. The complaints are consistent, though. The early material is dated, with one reviewer pointing to the first Cucumber version and old Java, and the fix only arrives near the end. Others want exercises, fuller IntelliJ setup steps, and answers to their questions. One says the instructor replied to just one of several. A 2018 reviewer said the course stalled at the custom controls.

The ratings are solid: 2,091 of 2,378 are four or five stars. The last update was September 2026, but the upgrade section still leans on a Selenium 4 alpha, so expect to adapt versions as you go. If you already write Java and want to see how a framework is designed, not just a pile of tests, it is worth it. Beginners should start elsewhere.

Best forJava-literate testers who want to watch a full Selenium framework built layer by layer, reporting and parallel runs included.
Skip it ifYou are new to Java or Selenium, or you want current tooling and exercises or quizzes along the way.

Pros

  • Builds the framework in layers: base, utilities, config, test layer and custom controls
  • Extent reports with parallel runs get their own detailed section that reviewers single out
  • Covers Selenium Grid and Zalenium in Docker for running tests in parallel
  • Teaching is described as clear, detailed and to the point, with followable examples

Cons

  • Early sections use older Cucumber and Java versions; the upgrade only comes in the final section
  • No quizzes, coding exercises or assignments, so it is watch-and-follow only
  • Several reviewers say questions to the instructor go mostly unanswered
Excellent courser in detail explanation. Hands on exercises are up to the mark. I can directly use the framework implementation in day to day testing
Veerkumar Patil, a student

Listed for all levels, but it needs solid Java, basic Selenium and OOP. Beginners will struggle.

What makes this course so special ?

The11+ hours  curriculum of this course is designed not just by randomly picking some of the topics what I know. 

Rather the course has evolved over a period of time (12+ years) by giving trainings to more than 300,000+ professional (both online and corporate training) and working on automation testing field (18+ years) 

Hence the course is much refined version, meaning the course won't deviate from the topics of the course


Most of the sections in this course are not detailed anywhere as an online training so far

Learners praise its clarity and practical approach, making it a standout for serious automation engineers.

By Cristian Velandia on 4/1/2022

He doesn't response to questions very often. I asked like 3 or 4 questions during the entire course. He only replied to one. The course itself is a meh... it has good things but is very outdated using first version of cucumber, java 5 etc.. He does update this at the very end of the course but course needs to be fully updated from the beginning.

By Juan Alejandro Hernndez Garca on 10/25/2020

Some of the things are not working in the course like the waits, List of elements, etc..., and the application to demonstrate the flow is not working, he can use any page without get visual studio.

Excellent course content. Thank you!

By iftikhar Ahmed on 7/25/2020

The presenter screen/video, is not very clear (IDE is black), so it is hard to follow thru.

By Ipsita Gahan on 7/19/2020

Certainly good

By Anonymized User on 6/18/2020

The course is very useful. Learnt lot of cool features around test automation.There are few pain points as well. There are few old codes that may not be used with latest software version. They are almost 5 years old. You should be strong in coding knowledge to to overcome the software version issue. But apart from that I loved the course.
