the explanation of how to install the programs is poor, not ay all clear! Aside from this initial challenge, the course was exciting and productive. It would be great if more topics could be added about the functionality of the framework in Windows. I'm very satisfied with this course and highly recommend it to everyone.

Super nice and interactive course. Full of interesting things, features, gotchas. Well explained all stuff related to Cypress. I only recommend to update 1 lesson related to environment variables (now they are chainable). I am very very satisfied with the course and the quality. 100% satisfaction.

I just completed “E2E Web UI Automation from scratch. Fully Updated in August 2025” and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! This course does an amazing job of breaking down end-to-end web UI automation into simple, practical steps. Even complex topics are explained clearly, making it perfect for both beginners and testers looking to strengthen their automation skills. The hands-on examples and real-world scenarios made it easy to apply what I learned right away. What I loved most: ✔️ Step-by-step guidance from fundamentals to advanced concepts ✔️ Clear explanations with practical demos ✔️ Up-to-date content reflecting the latest tools and best practices (August 2025 refresh really shows!) ✔️ Strong focus on real-world implementation, not just theory By the end of the course, I felt confident building and structuring a complete automation framework from scratch. If you're looking to seriously level up your UI automation skills, this course is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended

Da ich aus dem Softwaretest-Umfeld komme und bislang so gut wie noch keine Berührungspunkte mit Cypress hatte, ist der vermittelte Stoff doch teils sehr anspruchsvoll, so dass ich Teile davon auf jeden Fall immer mal wieder zwecks Verständnis wiederholen muss, um die Inhalte der folgenden aufeinander aufbauenden Lektionen verstehen zu können. Artem vermittelt mit seiner sympathischen Art jedoch sehr gut die Lerninhalte und das Vorankommen mit dem neu Erlernten macht daher viel Spaß! Der Kurs wird für mich auf jeden Fall von großen Nutzen sein, da ich auf dessen Grundlage aufbauen kann, um die im aktuellen Projekt zukünftig erforderlichen Kenntnisse kurz- bis mittelfristig zu erlangen.

Personally, I feel like the explanations for why we are using certain methods in specific instances is vague and brief. I have some prior background knowledge, so it's not too much of an issue, but I could see it being frustrating for someone who has never done anything like this before. I find myself looking up the methods on the internet to find out more about it. During the lecture, Artem tends to say, "So I am going to use xxx here and then use xxx," without really saying why. Don't get me wrong, he is very knowledgeable, but there doesn't seem to be much emphasis on explaining.

I recently completed the Cypress web automation testing course, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! The instructor's explanations were clear and concise, making even the most complex topics easy to understand. I highly recommend an excellent course to anyone looking to level up their automation testing skills!

Just finished the whole course! Everything was very good, excellent structure of the lessons for Cypress and the JavaScript fundamentals was helpful. But some of the lessons are very old and in VS Code I get errors when installing different things connected to the project (like plugins). A lot of times I needed to debug or look for ways around in order to proceed with the practice while watching the lectures. I hope the old lectures get updated. Searching for fixes and ways around is good practice, but sometimes it takes just too much time. Overall the course is near excellent and I give a 4.5/5.0 score! All the best to the teacher and I even bought the Playwright course!

By Bartek Szpura on 10/12/2023

All course was very nice. If there was some problem/issue, Artem text me back after 1h and the problem was resolved. Sometimes this course is not updated but it not makes problematic to finish it. And in course there are many resolved answers to the issues/problems. Artem explains everything kindly and well. Thank you Artem for your course!!!!

I've just completed the 'Cypress from zero to hero' course by Artem Bondar. It was a fantastic course with a great teacher. He explains everything thoroughly, even addressing questions in Udemy's questions section. I highly recommend this course as it covers JavaScript fundamentals, working with DOM elements, APIs, and advanced features like Docker images, continuous integration, and visual testing. Thanks, Artem! From now on, it will be time to practice and practice, as Artem said at the end of the course

By Tekoway on 7/5/2022

Overall the course provides good knowledge but still there are some important things that was not covered at all, for example uploading/downloading a file. I didn't like the fact that many lessons from Advanced Features are outdated and I couldn't reproduce and execute them. Also there are times when the author does something without explaining why.
