- Basic theoryGet familiar with recommended "theory", take recommended free basic courses with the support in a closed community.01
- Practice in real casesTry to solve with no help, simulating the real case while building test automation on a project.02
- Questions ...address to google or course FAQ. In case of failure, if the question isn't beyond the course program – getting hints in the course chat or from one of the curators.
- Practical knowledge through Code Review...After completing the task get individual feedback for further improvement.03
- ... till ideal solutionElaborating and improving the solution, go through a series of recorded video-reviews of common mistakes, until a result achieved that meets the best principles and practices for writing tests. Get another individual feedback to the final version of the solution.04
What's in Pandora's box?
At the moment workshop tasks are limited to the context of local development of high level system Web UI tests using one of the packs of your choosing:
Java + Selenide + Junit,
Python + Selene + Pytest,
C# + NSelene + NUnit,
JavaScript/TypeScript + SelenideJs/Cypress-Selene
Java + Selenide + Junit,
Python + Selene + Pytest,
C# + NSelene + NUnit,
JavaScript/TypeScript + SelenideJs/Cypress-Selene
There will be nothing in the course...that you can quickly google and get a ready-made recipe from StackOverflow or a detailed video guide on youtube, or chat response, for example – how to configure a grid, how to create a remote driver, how to configure parallel execution, how to setup Allure reporting, how to read parameters from the environment, how to create a "job" on Jenkins and so on. Even for basics of programming we recommend already existing free courses and online workshops on different platforms.
Here we learn "the hard way". We don't receive ready recipes on a plate, we get a route of getting the most useful experience to become a real SDET in a span of months instead of years.
But there will be a lot of nerdiness on...refactoring, self-documented code, DRY, KISS and YAGNI principles, OOP nuances, stable locators, PageObjects, and most important – what to test, how and when, how to efficiently extend coverage with tests, that are easy to write and maintain.
Plus, in the long run – to do this in more than one language. The course built in the way where after completing it in one programming language you can quickly switch to another from the list: Java, C#, Python, JS, TS.

Frequently Asked Questions –
To comfortably studying course materials it is important to know the basics of programming in one of the languages: Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#. You can prepare using recommended materials. For those who is familiar with programming in other language, might not be hard to start after briefly familiarizing with syntax of the corresponding language and practicing a little on basic tasks. Maybe not very quick but independent solving the problems at exercism.io can be a good testing of your skills and readiness for the course.
It is very important to not have problems with logic and analytical thinking. It is preferable to take this test or similar with 100%.

In general – not enough**. The course program helps to "become an engineer", learn to "do work", "solve problems", "find answers", but doesn't cover all knowledge usually required for employment.
In addition you should
... initially:

... preferably:
... can be useful:
** There are cases, when people get employed without all of the above, and figure it out when necessary. In fact, "figuring it out on your own" you can learn by completing the course program ;)
In addition you should
... initially:
... necessarily:
- learn testing basics
- can work with Selenium Webdriver, Remote WebDriver, Selenium Grid
- understand "The Test Pyramid"
- install and work with Jenkins,
... preferably:
- work with command line
- work with Docker and Docker Compose
- can set up in containers Grid/Selenoid and Jenkins
- run parallel tests
- add test reports
- generate test suite using markers/tags
- write API-tests
... can be useful:
- know performance testing

Support includes brief tips and suggestive questions within the course program. Detailed individual help on the topics beyond the program, for example programming basics, algorithm implementation, OOP, logic and analytical thinking – is not included. Curators and other students may still help with these questions, but not required to do so, especially if it requires more, then 10 minutes to solve a problem.
In the time of struggle, the algorithm of finding answers – is as following:
If you still need an extra help, you can arrange an individual learning format for extra payment. Contact us describing your situation. Let's look for options together;)
In the time of struggle, the algorithm of finding answers – is as following:
- think hard:)
- in case of failure, if the question is not tied to a task nuance and has more of a general technical nature – ask Google
- in case of failure – check the list of frequently asked questions on a task or the course (FAQ)
- if it's not enough – ask more or less vague, without hinting others with your question – in a common course chat. Your answer would probably be not direct hint form a course curator or another student, either in common chat or private message
If you still need an extra help, you can arrange an individual learning format for extra payment. Contact us describing your situation. Let's look for options together;)
If you are able to independently set up an infrastructure for the programming language you need and confidently solve tasks from exercism.io – you're able to complete this course, even though you'll need to learn some things, like OOP, on your own.
Very important to not have problems with logic and analytical thinking. If you with a fresh head, despite being slow, but with the utmost attention can pass this test with 30/30 – you can handle the course. If less – not for sure, but it doesn't mean you can't. If you have less. than 30, you should probably take your time to prepare using resources like exercism.io.

It depends on format and curator's workload. With due persistence you can complete the course in a month. With average student's and curator's workload studying should take up to 3 months, plus one month if you decided to start from point zero, without programming basics. After the end of the period, you won't get individual reviews anymore, but you can buy individual consultations (PRIVATE format) and use them for the reviews.
Yes. As long as the site lives, there remains access to all materials.
The number of students in the group is not limited. But it can affect delays with task verification by curators. It may not be possible to complete the course faster than 3 months even if you have time and will.
Contact us describing your situation. Let's look for options together;)
