Yes, very helpful, but would be awesome if we would have the entire setup explained at the beginning, to understand what do we need to have a framework, how to effectively take and use pom. For example, how and why do we have used "com.fasterxml.jackson.core" dependency

A very good introduction about Rest Assured and it gave a confidence to me to take up further from here. James has done a pretty good job on making the code examples clear and concise and each videos are not too long. Looking forward an another video of the same topic in-depth from James. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!.

I would ask for a more detailed explanation of why it's so, but not just refer to the official documentation. Especially this point makes sense for GPath sections in my opinion. Additionally, it would be nice to get more homework tasks to better material storage in my mind.

The audio is pretty low. I had to put the volume all the way up for some videos or put on headphones. The instructor has updated some of the videos which is great but in some sections they have kept the old videos. This can be confusing as they named and did different things. Not a big problem but certainly merits how I rate this course.
