A course on automating testing on JavaScript + Playwright

JavaScript testing has a number of features that make it attractive to novice and experienced QA professionals.

- JavaScript is an extremely popular programming language with the largest package infrastructure. There are already ready-made tools for any data file format.

- JavaScript is often used specifically for testing web applications, as the frontend of such projects is usually written in JS. In such a bundle, the developer and tester can help each other, as they literally communicate in the same language. This allows minimizing the number of interface and functionality errors.

- Due to accessibility, the cost of developing in JavaScript is more favorable for businesses, which increases the number of companies hiring specialists with JS knowledge.

During the course you will learn basic and advanced techniques of automated testing in JavaScript, get skills in working with key functions of QA tools and test objects. We will pay special attention to the best practices of finding and fixing bugs to ensure high quality of self-directed tests. Your portfolio will help you feel confident during the job search and successfully pass an interview in an IT company after completing the course.
