I like this course very much! The coding assignment is easy but always incldues all the essential things we need to learn. I feel so happy that I jsut finished my first unit testing project.

I love this course, the explanation is great, the assignments are very challenging. I learned many things from software testing. Thanks, Prof. Mike Whalen and Mr. Kevin Wendt

Expects learners to know Java. No help given from moderators on assignment related questions. If other learners had not posted information on how to proceed with the hands-on assignments I would never finished.

Course is nice, but some checks were build in the way you can't locally achieve correct result (test must 100% fail), but this is required to complete the task...( But material as a whole is useful.

Dieser Kurs ist nur für Leute mit Vorkenntnissen. Es fehlt definitiv ein Skript. Wie manche Übungsaufgaben zu bewältigen sind, muss man sich extern erarbeiten.

The material is good but the instructers are not intractive enough to build interest in the course

I don't understand the high rating of this course. Paraphrasing someone who did a review on the course "if you bash your head against the wall enough times, you will learn something". This course is well made in some aspects and atrocius on other. Regarding the theory and exams, I would give it a solid 4 stars. Subjetcs are well writen and knowledge is well conveyed. But the practical experience, uff.. The code exercises are atrocius, there is no time given to setup the environment on your computer - and I lost a lot of time researching how to fix eclipse, mockito errors.. Zero documentation on how to setup and no files provided for follow alongs/code-along.. And in week 4 there's an huge leap in demand for the students plus the exercises come with very confusing instructions.. I was stuck for the longest time trying to understand what I was doing wrong in my assigment. Oh and forget about assistance from the University, the forum is basicallly abandoned.. In my opinion a course like this should not be available on the coursera platform. I wasted more time in fixing environment's problems, trying to understand confusing instructions, etc than actually studying the different subjects...

2 stars for the good start of this course. Apparently, to complete this - specially on the last part where it focuses on programming using Java, you will really need a prior experience to it and the other tool. there are also no uploaded materials which will make it harder for you to follow along while watching the video. There are also a struggle when doing the assignments, you will not get a hint on how to do it once you failed. I kinda feel like it is unfair specially for new learners. I hope you enjoy and not regret taking this course.

A good course, but several technical issues with the assignments that are discussed in the comments of the course, but have not been addressed or fixed over time. Disappointed in the difficulty of turning in a correct assignment and errors in the assigned materials. The course needs work.

I am a QA Engineer that is responsible for setting up automation frameworks in C#, JAVA and some Python. This course was designed for someone who has done software development.
This course was very misleading.

Even though the instructors and the course is awesome there is no one who can answer our questions regarding the question we have on the projects.

I thank coursera for giving the economic help to be able to do this course. Sadly the course is not what seams to be. It states that it is an introuduction to testing AND automation. But it turns out that is almost everything about automatio and you also crearly need a background on JAVA to be able to understand it. Lesson 1 to 3 are great and are actually about testing in general but from lesson 4 onward is all abuot code and very complicated stuff for begginers. I am sad to say I have wasted my time on this since there is no way I have the level to complete it and they don't care to explain anything to you. The course literally starts at level 1 or 2 an then goes to level 20 without any explanation.

1. Course expects one to have a good understanding of Java programming language 2. Sample files demonstrated in the video lectures are not provided anywhere. Example,EmployeeTravelScheduler.java. However, the lecture is on testing the methods in the file. This leads to shallow learning 3. Lecture notes/slides are not provided 4. For couple of Practice Quiz, there was no reason provided as to why the selected option was correct 5. Some kind of a diagram should have been provided in Week 4 - Test Doubles: Input to understand the Mocks and Stub concept 6. The Passing score for most of the assignments is 100% or higher. Given this Course is for testing, I wonder how one can score higher than 100%

This course requires some prerequisites, which it does not mention, so it is misleading if you are not well versed in these: a Java IDE, such as Eclipse. This course seems to follow some Java courses and the use of Eclipse IDE. The first homework is poorly setup. It is a test in itself, requiring countless hours to invest in how to setup your Eclipse JUnit environment. In case this helps you prepare for it. This is just a 'warning'. I wished I could do the prerequisites prior to starting it. It could have saved me hours.

This course is nothiing but money making scamm. Assignments have nothing to do with presented knowledge. If You know how to solve these submissions You have to be already professional or at mid advanced level. Cusomer help - foget it! Just simply unfair presentation of what you gonna learn.

Automatic grading of test code does not work. There are a lot of posts in the forum, from other students having the same issues. No working solution yet. Somehow course management don't seems to care.

Course materials (slides and codes) were not made available for learners to download, it makes it very very difficult to learn stuff.
