SDET – Test Architect Essentials -Road to Full stack QA

Why it’s important for you to take this course:

• Learn from a Real-time engineer with hands-on experience in Software Development & Automation Testing. Most of the other courses teach you with some typical examples you commonly find in the books.

  But I’m going to teach you with Practical and Real-world Examples and Scenarios as part of Automation Testing

• If you’re targeting a SDET (or) Automation/Performance Engineer role, this is the right course for you. I was in your shoes before where I had to go to multiple places to learn the concepts, practical examples, coding tests and interview questions from. But for you, just this course should keep the ball rolling for all those things.
• Course covers an Automation Project towards the end and available to download from GitLab. The project makes you think in real life terms. Say if an interviewer asks you about the difference between an interface and a class, a practical example would be ‘GetCrossBrowserAccount’ is an interface while ‘GetSauceLabsAccount’ and ‘GetBrowserStackAccount’ can be the implementation classes (in contrast to popular book example that an animal is an interface while cat and dog are the implementation classes).
• The course includes Coding Tests from Actual interviews including the questions I have personally faced and asked in the interviews
• The lectures are To the point with Clear explanations. I don’t want you to get lost in the lectures or spend time listening to any unnecessary things, your spending time is most important to me and you learn something quantitatively from each lecture.
• Unique course in Software Testing Engineering Interview. This is a unique course on Udemy platform for SDET from preparation to interview with a range of topics packed inside a single course.
• For any of your queries, I will Respond in 24 hours. Just shoot me a message on the Q&A board and I’ll respond to you with all the information you need.
• I have personally trained manual/functional QA to get Automation Engineer/ SDET Jobs.
• New course Videos will be added from time-to-time. If you see any topic is missing, expect it to be added very soon.

Just see what my students have to say:

• Focused on practical skills with examples. – Joseph
