Description
From this course you can learn how to become Software Test Automation Engineer and get all necessary practical skill.
There are a lot of other courses in this topic. So, why would you choose exactly this course? Here just a few reasons:
– Coding examples
To learn programming, it is not enough just watching videos and reading books. You also need to have a lot of practice. In this training course, you will review multiple practical tasks and coding examples which will help you learn and understand C# better.
– Open source code
We hide nothing from our students! Including the source code for the home task solutions and source code of examples that were shared during the lesson. Having the source code you can just copy and paste it to run it on your local computer to understand how things work better.
You are allowed to use all source code examples for learning purposes. This helps significantly to configure the environment and make tests work, especially in case students didn’t work with any testing framework in the past.
– Q&A support
The significant difference between the online and offline learning processes is the instructor’s availability. If you are in one room with a tutor he always can help you to get understand the specific concepts or to help fix your code on your computer.
In this course, we are supporting students with answers to any questions flagged in the Q&A section. In case there will be recurring questions – separate video lessons will be created to show how to address the issue.
So with this course you are not just getting video materials, code exercises, source code, access to free mobile application without limits (which is still pretty cool, huh? 🙂 ) , but you also get tutor support and answers to your questions along with this course.
– Relevant knowledge
After our team investigated other C#Test Automatiuon courses on Udemy we realized that most of them have nothing in common with real life. The information which is shared there is very old and significantly out of date. For example, the instructor teaches a framework which is not been used already for 15 years. Or instructors do stress on the programming design which is not used anymore at all!
Instructor of this course is consultant in a top-rated IT outsourcing company and helps to bring cutting-edge solutions in IT for all his clients. Feel free to check LinkedIn page of instructor and check skills endorsement. More than 19 thousand people acrooss all over the world (BTW most of them are from top 100 companies of the world) evaluated skills of Tigran Ter-Karapetyants.
With this course you can be sure that you will spend your time learning the right things from one of the best IT consultants in the world.
– High concentration of useful material in each lesson
Sometimes you can notice that watching of 5 minutes of our lesson is equivalent to watching of another 30 minutes lesson.
This is because time spent for preparation for the lesson (script for the lesson, lesson structure) and video editing (to cut boring pieces of the lesson, or time when program loads) sometimes 10 times as much (sometimes even 20) as final lesson duration after video editing.
Also each topic is separated from another. In case some concept will be explained in the next lesson and you don’t need to worry about understanding this in scope of this lesson – instructor will make announcement when specific topic will be covered.
Go and try it yourself! We will appreciate your feedback.

Bonus section
- Course Overview
- Comprehensive Architectural Strategy: This course transcends simple scripting by teaching you how to architect a robust, multi-layered automation framework from the ground up, focusing on the synergy between C# and modern testing libraries.
- The SDET Mindset Shift: You will undergo a cognitive transition from a manual tester who follows steps to a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) who designs resilient systems capable of self-healing and identifying regressions autonomously.
- Enterprise-Grade Standards: Learn to operate within an Agile ecosystem, understanding how automated tests integrate into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to provide rapid feedback loops for development teams.
- Deep Dive into Framework Orchestration: Beyond basic interactions, you will explore the orchestration of test suites, managing execution flows, and ensuring that your automation suite can handle the unpredictability of modern web applications.
- Bridging Theory and Industry Reality: Every module is designed to simulate real-world technical challenges, moving away from “Hello World” scenarios into complex, data-heavy, and dynamic user interfaces that mirror professional environments.
- Requirements / Prerequisites
- Foundational Logical Proficiency: A strong grasp of basic logic and algorithmic thinking is essential, as the course relies on your ability to break down complex manual processes into programmable steps.
- Standard Development Environment: Learners should have access to a Windows-based machine capable of hosting the latest .NET SDKs and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to facilitate smooth coding sessions.
- Conceptual QA Awareness: While no prior coding is required, a baseline understanding of what software testing entails—such as the difference between a bug and a feature—will help contextualize the automation strategies discussed.
- Commitment to Iterative Practice: Success in this program requires a dedication to repetitive practice, as mastering the syntax of C# and the nuances of automation requires hands-on debugging and constant code refactoring.
- Basic Command Line Familiarity: A rudimentary understanding of how to navigate directories via a terminal will be beneficial for managing dependencies and executing scripts outside of a graphical interface.
- Skills Covered / Tools Used
- Advanced Design Patterns: Implementation of sophisticated design patterns such as the Page Object Model (POM), Factory Pattern, and Singleton Pattern to ensure code reusability and minimize technical debt.
- Mastery of Fluent Assertions: Utilizing advanced assertion libraries to create highly readable, human-centric test validation steps that clearly communicate failure points to non-technical stakeholders.
- Asynchronous Programming for Automation: Leveraging C# Task Parallel Library (TPL) features to handle asynchronous operations, ensuring that tests do not fail due to timing issues or slow network responses.
- Dynamic Element Handling: Developing custom logic to interact with volatile web components, including IFrames, Shadow DOM elements, and complex JavaScript-driven dropdowns that standard tools often struggle with.
- Source Control via Git: Comprehensive training on professional version control workflows, including branching, merging, handling pull requests, and resolving merge conflicts within a collaborative automation team.
- Data-Driven Testing Architectures: Building systems that consume external data sources such as JSON, XML, or CSV files to execute a single test case against thousands of different data permutations.
- Reporting and Observability: Integrating sophisticated reporting engines like Allure or ExtentReports to generate visual, stakeholder-ready documentation of test results, including automated screenshots and video logs of failures.
- Configuration Management: Designing environment-agnostic frameworks that can seamlessly switch between Development, Staging, and Production environments using global configuration files and dependency injection.
- Exception Handling and Resilience: Implementing global exception handling strategies and custom retry logic to differentiate between legitimate software bugs and “flaky” test failures caused by environmental instability.
- Benefits / Outcomes
- Career Transformation and Marketability: Graduates will possess the technical prowess required to apply for high-level SDET and Automation Engineer roles, significantly increasing their earning potential in the global tech market.
- Professional Portfolio Development: By the end of the course, you will have a production-ready GitHub repository that serves as tangible proof of your ability to write clean, professional-grade C# code.
- Shift-Left Capability: You will gain the skills to participate in early-stage development discussions, helping teams identify testability issues before a single line of application code is even written.
- Confidence in Technical Interviews: The course equips you with the vocabulary and deep conceptual understanding needed to navigate grueling technical interviews and live coding challenges with ease.
- Reduced Maintenance Overhead: By learning to write scalable code, you will save hundreds of hours in future maintenance, creating a test suite that evolves alongside the application rather than breaking with every update.
- Automation of Non-Functional Requirements: You will acquire the baseline knowledge needed to extend your automation skills into API testing, performance monitoring, and security scanning.
- PROS
- Focus on Clean Code: Unlike many tutorials that focus only on “making it work,” this course prioritizes software craftsmanship, ensuring your scripts meet professional development standards.
- Real-World Simulation: The inclusion of complex homework assignments ensures that you encounter—and solve—the same frustrations and roadblocks faced by professional engineers.
- Modern Tooling Stack: The course utilizes the latest versions of the .NET ecosystem, ensuring that the skills you learn are relevant to current enterprise hiring needs.
- CONS
- Steep Learning Curve: The transition from “Zero” to “Hero” is highly intensive, and students who do not dedicate consistent daily time to coding may find the advanced architectural concepts challenging to grasp without additional self-study.
