The course covered most of the topics very well. It would be great to add a few more lectures on integrating with AI agents. Additionally, including a few more scenarios within the existing demo project would make it more practical and hands-on. Thanks!

the code you wrote is at quite some points corrected by the most SR automation engineer i know. it works the way you explain, but seems to be not using the full strength of playwright. still this course is still good to get the basics :-)

Amazing course, really well explained. It goes in deatil of many functionalities of Playwright. I just disagree with the POM teaching, since it's somewhat debatle to use it nowadays with modern automation frameworks, other I would really like to recommend this course to everyone. As for the POM model teached, you can always go with a Cypress approach and creating a GUI/API commands file and export it to an E2E file globally. Either way, I'm not critizing this course at all, it's way above average and the teaching style is quite good. It does take a little to start, it's very beginner friendly sometimes. Also, at the CI/CD implementation I went beyond and created a page for the Allure reporting, that's something that should be on the course as well.

That was nice and upskilling for me learning the in and outs about testing also the BTS of Web Applications instead learning it from really big documentation available out there in the web. Off course it is helpful but to get started with a proper flow this course is really a time saver for Thank you for the Experience you were sharing
By Carla Smith on 6/10/2024
The course is informative and I’m learning alot, thank you. There are times where it is frustrating as a beginner and following along in VS Code, I have to switch back to the browser to pause and/or rewind to catch up.

After completing the course, I have to say that it contains good and practical information, all structured really well. The course is a blend of information and practical exercises.
By Jakub Kruszyński on 11/12/2023
The course is very essentional but not updated enough beside there is lack of such an elements as handling the pop-ups, alerts, dialogs and confirms - how to switch between tabs or between the browser window and crated canvas window but all of the course is very essentional beside i really recommend it specially for person who want to start their journey with automation testing with JS/TS etc
By Michał Jeruzal on 9/18/2023
First of all, the course title is misleading and I feel a little deceived - it says "UI + API", but it does not include any lessons on API testing, mocking APIs etc. which Playwright supports. Secondly, the course could be more up to date... Some of the code in the course is discouraged by Playwright documentation, deprecated or considered as a bad practice. Also the Playwright Test config and globalSetup are a whole different thing now. Finally, for CI/CD integration author could go more into the details of workflow setup instead of just showing the ready YAML file.

I really enjoyed this course with Git Actions at the end as the cherry on top. Dilpreet (course instructor) has a very good technique to explain things that are most needed for any one who can start from scratch on a new tool/ framework. I would recommend this course for any one who wants to start from scratch on Playwright, but one thing to note is the speed of the videos might be quicker, so you might want to reduce the video speed. This is not my first course with this instructor, as always, top class, well done and thank you for the efforts on videos :)
By Lajos Csikós on 8/23/2023
Excellent course! I started with no previous automation experience, just with some basic programming knowledge(but even that is not necessary for this course). From the beginning, Dilpreet guided me through Playwright with crystal clear explanations, his English is flawless and the lessons are not boring or slow at all. If there was something I could dive deeper into, he even highlighted the documentation. I highly recommend this course as your start in the world of automation, you won't regret!
