Skip. Some links and materials are outdated or contain spelling mistakes. It is true that you can complete this tutorial with a different operating system; however, no explanation or instruction is provided for those students. In addition, there is little to no explanation as to how the code is working or why we are implementing the tests in this fashion. I suggest that the instructor look at Stephen Grider or Gwinyai Nyatsoka’s videos. They break the concepts down and explain things much more effectively. I’d say save your money and look for something on YouTube. I found a 12 hour free course on Selenium that provides significantly more explanation and detail. $95 dollars for 6 hours of copy paste content just isn’t worth it.

Overall, very pleased with the course. Provides a clear intro to many of the testing frameworks available, setting the scene for future work. The only area of improvement I can think of is an update or side-note on JUnit 5

Very good course. At first i found it slow and light (maybe because i had 10+ yrs development exp.), then it started covering and building up to full software development testing. Learned a lot, covered a broad scope now i can dive deep on a topic that i want. I would recommend this course.

Although I'am a developer with over 8 years of experience, I had a lot of aha moments. In my opion, this course is equivalent to an insurance policy for never again writing low quality software. One suggestion to improve the course would be may be to provide a lesson about property based testing. Thanks for this excellent course.

An excellent briefing on these frameworks. I up vote to the title which says what a developer must know... I highly recommend this to every developer. One may not become expert with this course but you will know the clear direction that is needed for your career!

This is a very useful course and a great first step in learning tests. I appreciated the different frameworks used and the practical approach. As a suggestion (or hope) it would be great if the teacher will add other sections (or maybe other courses) for full testing Spring web applications.

Where I work as a software developer, automated testing is becoming the thing do know as we are shifting towards TDD. Yet, despite a master’s degree in software development, I felt I only had the very basic of knowledge when it came to software testing. So, I took this class, hoping it would provide a more comprehending understanding of the topic and the many technology’s that surrounds it. This course did that and more. In fact, the course teaches some of the most popular frameworks out there and does this in a comprehensive and explanatory way, using great practical examples from start to finish. Great work!
By James Redwood on 6/25/2019
The course structure is good, and the aim of giving a very brief introduction to each of the technologies involved is exactly what I was looking for. The bulk of the practical time is spent copying out lines of code from the video with very little explanation about what is happening. The code could have been provided completed for you, and the time spent on actually explaining what is happening and why. In such a fast paced course which aims to fit in so much constantly having to type import statements is particularly annoying. Not having completed example code is really annoying when you have a mistake in your code, as you have to search through the video trying to find your mistake rather than just compare your code with completed code.

I really like the flow of the course. This covers every stage of testing and reason behind the each testing type. I appreciate including of alternative testing frameworks so the students are not limited to one framework. MUST BUY for any Java developer
By Mamadou DIOP on 4/18/2019
Cours très bien structuré. Le formateur est à l'aise avec son sujet, prend le temps de bien expliqué les différentes parties. Correspondait parfaitement à mes attentes. Les sous-titres en français serait un petit plus même si dans ce domaine l'anglais est indispensable ! Je recommande fortement !
