Our take

Based on the ratings of 758 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Mark Shrike's course is a guided tour of the tools a manual QA tester runs into, spread over 187 lectures and about 38 hours. It covers ChatGPT, Chrome DevTools, BrowserStack, TestRail, screen reader and accessibility checks, Postman, JMeter, Wireshark, Android Studio and Xcode. Then it moves into Playwright with JavaScript and Selenium with Java, with ChatGPT and Cursor AI helping on the code. It is aimed at beginners and at working testers who want to fill gaps in their toolkit.

Reviewers like the clear structure and clear explanations, and one says the tools they learned were the ones their project needed. Individual reviewers praise the ChatGPT lessons and the how-to material. The complaints are specific. One reviewer found the content generic and not tailored to their industry, another called much of it obvious with too many irrelevant details. Two dislike the narration voice and accent, and one learner could only hear the video, not see it, and says the instructor never answered. Another wanted copy and paste resources for the commands, and one says the automation section could use an update.

The course was last refreshed in August 2026. It has 6,813 students enrolled and a 4.5 rating across 758 reviews, 453 of them five stars. Time is spread unevenly. Postman gets 47 lectures and Playwright with ChatGPT runs more than 11 hours, while Android Studio, Xcode, JMeter and Wireshark get 14 to 22 minutes each. Treat those as introductions. It is a good map for newer testers, but a dedicated course is the better pick for depth in any single tool.

Best forManual testers who want a tour of everyday QA tools and a first taste of automation with ChatGPT.

Skip it ifYou want real depth on one tool, or training tailored to a specific industry rather than general QA.

Pros

Covers a wide set of tools, from DevTools and TestRail to Postman, JMeter and Wireshark
Playwright and Selenium scripts built step by step with ChatGPT or Cursor AI help
Reviewers describe clear structure and plain explanations that suit beginners
Refreshed in August 2026, with sections on AI agents and vibe coding for testing

Cons

Android Studio, Xcode, JMeter and Wireshark get only 14 to 22 minutes each
Some reviewers find it generic, obvious in places, and padded with extra detail
The narration accent and voice put some people off, and one reviewer calls it AI generated

It is an excellent course, especially for beginners. It covers a great range of useful tools and provides practical tips that are invaluable for test engineers.

Course Description

Hi everyone. This course is about Manual Software Testing tools, tools that do not include automation, but help to improve the work of a manual tester.
The course will be useful for testers:

1. Absolute beginners in Software Testing who want to learn the most popular software testing tools that every QA uses to work.
2. Experienced software testers who want to recall the basic usage of Software Testing Tools, and learn something new in this topic.
3. Experienced Manual Software Testers who want to learn how to automate test cases with the help of Generative AI (ChatGPT/CursorAI) in a short time
4. Anyone who wants to take the first steps in Software Automation Testing with the help of ChatGPT/CursorAI

The main task of the course is to deepen knowledge about manual testing tools and to assist testers in different aspects and needs of their work.

For that reason, we prepared 4 things:

1. An overview of the main tools for Manual Software testing by category, such as:

AI Tools for Manual Software Testing
Web Testing Tools
Automation Testing Tools with the help of ChatGPT
Automation Testing Tools with the help of CursorAI
Mobile Testing Tools
API Testing Tools
Accessibility Testing Tools
Capture Networking Traffic Tools

2. Explanation of several tools for each category, such as:

ChatGPT, CursorAI, Gemini AI, Bing AI, and Chatsonic AI for Software testing;
Chrome dev tools and BrowserStack for Web testing;
TestRail as a Test Management tool;
NVDA, Voice Over, TalkBack, WAVE, Accessibility Insights for accessibility testing;
Playwright/JavaScript with the help of ChatGPT for Automation Software Testing;
Selenium/Java with the help of ChatGPT for Automation Software Testing;
Android Studio and Xcode for Mobile testing;
Postman and JMeter for API testing;
Wireshark for Networking testing;

3. Demonstrating several basic practical functions that testers can use in their work using ChatGPT, Cursor AI, Chrome Dev Tools, BrowserStack, TestRail, Android Studio, Xcode, Postman, JMeter, Wireshark, NVDA, Voice Over, TalkBack, WAVE, Accessibility Insights, GitHub, Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, Playwright, Selenium.

4. Demonstrating how the Manual QA Engineer can start the automation journey by creating and running Selenium/Java test scripts for the different website functions, such as Filters, Sorting, Navigation, Minicart, etc., with the help of ChatGPT.
Each lecture for the Automation part is shown on our website, where we created separate components to show everything in practice. For each of our lessons, we created a separate class in the IntelliJ IDEA Integrated Development Environment. So it will be easier for you to find the code you need in the future. The final code will be available in the lecture materials and on our website. We can open our webpage, run it, and check the results using this code.

Explained much well, Simple and short and Useful

By Dawn Peters on 1/27/2026

It would be helpful to have resources linked for each section that include any other resources, extra notes, or data/information you could copy/paste while testing instead of having to type in the code/command. For example: const links = document.querySelectorAll('a'); console.log('URLs:'); links.forEach(link=> { console.log(link.href); });

By Anju Mohan on 10/13/2025

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to understand the mechanics and applications of generative AI. It not only provided the necessary technical foundation but also offered a crucial perspective on the ethical and strategic implications of this transformative technology.

By Muhammad Nur Azree bin Mohamad Nasir on 1/6/2025

This training give me more good knowledge that i should know! Very good explanation.

By Javier Ortiz on 12/1/2024

Fue un curso excelente, apredi mucho muy bien explicado, en la parte de wireshark me perdi un poco, pero es intuitivo por lo que pude realizar las pruebas. Por otro lado el tono de voz era excelente, me gustaria ver mas cursos asi.

By Yuliia QA on 10/10/2024

It is an excellent course, especially for beginners. It covers a great range of useful tools and provides practical tips that are invaluable for test engineers. While the automation section could use an update, the guidance to use ChatGPT to resolve issues made it possible to complete everything smoothly. A very informative and hands-on course!
