Our take

Based on the ratings of 8,754 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2020. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a 6.4 hour beginner path that assumes nothing. It runs 111 lectures over eight sections, and the biggest block by far is Java Core: 40 lectures and about four hours of the total. The Selenium material that follows is short, with sections on locators, driver commands, WebElement commands and a brief TestNG finish. The pitch is manual testers moving into automation, and the syllabus fits that. About 26,000 students have enrolled, and the rating is 4.3 from roughly 8,750 reviews.

Several reviewers like the short, focused videos and the clear order of topics. One says the Java part only made sense once they started using it with Selenium. The complaints are consistent, though. IT Room's teaching gets marked down for a heavy accent, and one reviewer found the transcripts too full of wrong words to help. Others mention blurry video, no downloadable notes, and a TestNG chapter that switches from IntelliJ to Eclipse without explanation. The harshest reviews say it stays high level and skips topics.

The last update was July 2020, so expect some dated material. One 2023 reviewer says linked resources have gone missing or changed. Treat it as a short first step, not a finish line. Even happy reviewers call it a starting point and suggest a deeper course next. If you have never written code, it is a workable on-ramp, though the Java block may feel dense. If you already know Java, that block is mostly dead weight and a framework-focused course will serve you better.

Best forManual testers with no coding background who want Java and Selenium basics in one short, no-frills course.
Skip it ifYou already know Java and want framework design, real projects or deep TestNG coverage.

Pros

  • Assumes no coding; Java is taught from scratch before Selenium begins
  • Short, focused videos that reviewers say waste very little time
  • Covers locators, driver commands and WebElement commands in about 6.4 hours
  • Clear section order that suits manual testers moving into automation

Cons

  • Heavy accent that several reviewers flag; one says the transcripts are full of wrong words
  • Last updated in 2020; some linked materials are gone or replaced
  • TestNG gets only 14 minutes and suddenly switches from IntelliJ to Eclipse
Good course to get started as it gives a brief overview of the most important basics of Selenium. However, it is really only a beginners course.
Kerstin Rosin, a student

Beginner is accurate: no coding is required, but the Java block can feel dense to true newcomers.

    This course was exactly what I needed to strengthen my automation testing skills using Selenium with Java. The instructor explained concepts clearly, provided real-world examples, and the hands-on projects helped solidify my understanding. It was well-paced and covered everything from basic setup to advanced test automation frameworks. Definitely exceeded my expectations!

    By Nuno Martins on 9/11/2023

    As a user with no prior experience in Java, I found this section quite extensive and somewhat challenging to grasp all the terms. However, when I started applying it with Selenium, many of the concepts mentioned began to make sense. I particularly enjoyed the Selenium part; I learned the basics of automated testing and am very satisfied with it! The accent didn't pose any confusion for me, and when I had doubts, I activated the subtitles. My only regret is that there's no option to download the PDFs with the relevant information; I find this to be a significant drawback. Regarding the TestNG part, I didn't understand why we were instructed to install a new IDE when IntelliJ works perfectly fine. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this course!

    By Lucia A on 2/16/2023

    I really liked the course, has very useful information. I like how it is structured and that has very short and concise videos. As others say, sometimes the pronunciation of some words is not perfect, but for people that speak english at an advanced level and have experience with multiple accents, shouldn't be a problem. TestNG part is short, but for this there are dedicated courses.

    By Michal Oborski on 6/17/2022

    Pros: +Nice revision material for java basics, some practical examples I didn't know earlier. +Basics of Selenium, driver/webelement commands shown on examples. Cons: -Some content seems to be missing, for example in 45. lists, maps and sets are mentioned, yet only ArrayList is explained in detail. I think similar issue also happened in few other lessons. -In few videos the wrong sentences weren't cut out while editing, which caused some duplicates while you were speaking. -Not sure whether complete newbies who didn't have any experience in programming whatsoever could grasp java concepts explained in the course. -For some reason for TestNG framework in the last section of the course is made for Eclipse IDE, when for the most part of the course Intellij was used.

    in some if the videos the slang is not so clear and i had to repeatedly listen to it by replaying to understand exactly
