Bondar Academy

Hi! 

I chose the Playwright UI Testing Mastery program because of one feature that caught my attention: the code reviews. I had never seen another online course offering such a hands-on approach, where you not only complete assignments but also receive detailed feedback on your work. After joining the program, I can confidently say that this has been its most valuable aspect. The reviews, recommendations and insights have made this learning experience the most effective and engaging I've ever had. 

The course itself is well organized and easy to follow. It gradually builds from the fundamentals to more advanced concepts and best practices, making each new topic feel like a natural progression. The video lessons are complemented by high-quality quizzes that reinforce the material and encourage you to think critically rather than simply memorize concepts.

What truly sets the program apart is the practical experience. The assignments are carefully designed to reflect real-world scenarios, and the detailed feedback on your solutions helps you develop the habits and mindset needed for professional test automation.

Last but not least, Artem is an excellent mentor who genuinely cares about his students' progress. His explanations are clear, his feedback is thoughtful, and it's obvious that he is passionate about what he does and genuinely wants his students to succeed!

I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn Playwright properly, whether they are new to test automation or looking to strengthen their existing skills. I'm very happy that I found Bondar Academy because it truly makes the most of online learning, combining high-quality content, hands-on practice, and personal mentorship in a way that is hard to find elsewhere.

Thank you so much Artem! Read less

Artem really outdid himself with this course! I've been recommending it to every one of my colleagues interested in learning Playwright because the API Testing Mastery course goes far beyond "just reading the docs". He begins by acknowledging that Playwright was not designed to be an API testing giant, and instead most of its features are focused on delivering a top-notch end-to-end/UI testing experience.

But he doesn't relent. He shows you how you can extend Playwright's capabilities using TypeScript, Node.js, and a few choice libraries to match the performance of the most competitive API testing tools on the market. He teaches you how to create a smooth DX with a request builder pattern, detailed logging, schema validation, among other things Playwright doesn't offer out-of-the-box.

It's a creative, innovative, and bold approach to using Playwright for API testing, and he gives credit where it's due when he drew inspiration from other community members like Butch Mayhew. I've personally test-driven the solution he teaches in this course at my most recent company, and it helped the team scale API test automation with ease. No alterations to the framework were necessary to keep it working with a large production codebase, only occasional extensions like adding a PATCH method to the RequestHandler class.

I can't recommend this course enough. It's a fantastic bridge into higher-level SDET work for QA Engineers used to mostly writing test scripts for their job. In this way, I see it was a great way to help more junior QA Engineers grow their careers. Read less

I really enjoyed the Mastering testRigor course.
All the examples, assignments, and practice were so cool.
Feel more confident, and feedback from homeworks is a treasure. 
Seriously, I recommend this course to anyone who wants to be involved in AI Automation Tools, especially testRigor, which is incredibly powerful Read less

I took this course on Bondar Academy to refresh my JavaScript knowledge and it checked all my tick boxes:
-  Easy to follow instructor (the most important)
-  Well structured course with assignments
-  User friendly platform
After following courses on other platforms created by different teachers and experiencing other teaching styles I can definitely say that Artem has a great talent in explaining things. Thank you the instructor for the valuable work.  Read less

The first time I took one of Artem's courses was the Cypress course on Udemy. I was impressed by how clear and concise his teaching style was. Even though Cypress and JavaScript were completely new to me, I thoroughly enjoyed the learning process and was able to apply the knowledge at work right after completing the course.When the Playwright class on Bondar Academy became available, it was an easy decision to enroll. I haven’t regretted it for a second! In addition to the lectures, students get hands-on experience with real projects. I write code, create PRs for review, and let me tell you—this is no joke. I've learned so much!Artem meticulously reviews each PR and provides incredibly constructive feedback. I'm not just learning to code; I'm learning best practices. And I don’t know how he does it, but it seems like he’s available 24/7 on Slack for any questions that I or other students have.

The course content was professionally presented, well-structured, and perfect for beginners. The instructor is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at teaching complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner. After passing the topic I like to check myself on the Self-assessments (Tests with a,b,c,d answers). This clearly shows that I need to rewatch the video and helps to remember the material well.
Also, the last lesson Difference between TypeScript & Javascript was very useful for me and filled gaps in my knowledge.
Moreover, the support at Bondar Academy was great. The live chat was always available to assist with any technical issues or questions I had. If you are lucky, the author of the course, Artem Bondar, could answer you personally. I was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for this learning journey!

Short summary:
The Premium subscription of  SDET with Playwright course is the best choice for those who are starting QA Automation from scratch or have some experience, but want to fill in knowledge gaps and get feedback on how to improove their work.

In details:
I have taken several top-rated courses related to QA automation for beginners from other instructors.
Those courses were good, but this one from Bondar Academy is the best!

This SDET with Playwright course gave me much more knowledge and confidence than any other course I have taken before.

The main thing is PRACTICE! By practice, I don’t just mean repeat the code entry with the course instructor or write the code yourself. It finally worked out when I got a premium subscription to the SDET with Playwright course and had real automation tasks with Artem’s feedback later.

Artem’s PR review is a treasure! He always explains clearly and answers all questions. Even if something is unclear, he explains the problem in other words so that I can really understand why it needs to be fixed and how.

Artem and other students are also available in a private Slack channel, so I can search for common problems in the chat or ask Artem for support if my problem is still exists. His response has always been fast, detailed, and helpful.

A code review from an experienced person is what really saves you time on the path to QA automation! That’s why this Premium subscription was so useful! This approach to learning provides a clear understanding of what QA Automation work looks like, how to work in a team, and how to apply best practices in your work, even when you have already working code. This also saves you money, and most importantly, gives you the confidence that you create a good testing framework, robust, maintainable tests that show the quality of the code you write and the quality of the product you test.

How the course is structured:Videos that break down the essentials of Playwright, accompanied by a slew of labs to immediately practice what you just learned.  You write your code and submit a pull request against your repository, and Artem will review it, leaving comments for feedback.  A Slack channel is available for questions, granting the opportunity to learn from other students.  Artem is always available to answer questions and help out!
My experience:Artem is an excellent instructor and mentor.  He explains things in a way that simplifies advanced concepts, while providing personalized guidance.  The lab work was the big seller for me, as it provided a way to practice what was just taught, directly.  Indeed, this made a difference, but the true impact was through Artem’s code reviews.  By emphasizing best practices, I learned skills that go well beyond the scopes of QA and Playwright.  This allowed me to create saner code at work and lead automation efforts.  I am grateful that I found this course, as it definitely accelerated my career.

I've known Artem Bondar for a couple of years, even before Bondar Academy was established. Previously, I learned Cypress and Karate on Udemy, so I was excited to hear that Artem had opened his own academy. The course is well-structured, starting with the basics of Playwright and TypeScript and progressively covering more advanced topics like cross-browser testing and handling dynamic content. Each module builds on the previous one, making it easy to follow.

After completing self-assessments, the instructor assigns homework tasks for each new topic, requiring you to submit a pull request for review. The feedback provided by the instructors is organized and structured, which is a method not commonly followed by other academies—where often, follow-up is minimal. One of the highlights of the course was the hands-on practice sessions. I appreciated the numerous coding exercises, which allowed me to immediately apply what I learned. These exercises were crucial in solidifying my understanding of Playwright's features.

The course materials were comprehensive and well-organized, with helpful code snippets. The instructor was also responsive in the Slack channel, offering valuable insights and troubleshooting tips. After completing the course, I feel confident in my ability to write automated tests using Playwright with TypeScript. I was able to apply these skills in a work project, which significantly improved our testing process. The course definitely met my expectations.

In addition to Playwright with TypeScript, Bondar Academy also offers courses in JavaScript and Mastering testRigor, providing a well-rounded learning experience for those looking to deepen their knowledge in test automation. Overall, my experience with Bondar Academy's Playwright with TypeScript course was excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their test automation skills. The only suggestion I have is to include more examples related to API testing, which would make the course even more comprehensive. Read less
