Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need coding experience for this software testing course?
No. The course starts from zero and the AI writes the code while you learn to direct and verify it.
Is this course good for manual testers?
Yes. It covers the testing fundamentals you already use, then shows how to bring AI and Playwright automation into your work without first becoming a programmer.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes, Udemy issues a certificate of completion. Employers will usually care more about the GitHub portfolio project you build in the course.
Which AI tools does the course use?
Claude Code, with free Claude or GitHub Copilot accounts shown as options. The tests themselves use Playwright.
What should I take after this course?
If you want to go deeper into automation, take Playwright + Claude AI & MCP Server next. Practice tests help with interviews, and the ETL course covers data testing.
