The course started with a good overview of goals of testing, different terms used in the field, and how to match tests and tools to the goals. It got us involved in writing tests relatively early, which was good, but then dropped it for too long and loaded up at the end. The middle felt more like a soup of picayune questions, even though I appreciate the need to know the vocabulary. I would have liked to see the assignments sprinkled more in the middle of the class too.

Writing a test plan was a valuable exercise. I think it would have been fairer to present the expectations/rubric before we submitted it. I was also stunned to see the same 2 versions of the assignments (The same 37 or 53 tests) handed in repeatedly by my peers. I believe Coursera needs to invest in turnitin.com or a similar product.

I found it a drag to have to downgrade Java on my machine in order to make the assignments work. Also, Eclipse did not behave well, and I found myself needing to switch over to NetBeans. I would have liked to stick with VS Code, but that seems to work better with Maven than with Gradle.

Overall, I find I now have the vocabulary to describe what I have been doing, a bigger picture of the testing endeavor, and some new specific skills like working with Jacoco and Mockito. I am glad I did it, and I think it gave me new insight into how to do my current job well (and I finally found out what UAT stands for) and positions me better in the job market.

Before week 4 i was going to rate 1. because of 1) completely theoric contents 2) full of just definitions and termologies. 3) Poor support from the instructors and ... 4) pretty out dated stuff and tools. You cannot hand programming assignments with java version 11 or higher. that was a real pain figuring out the problem is just with the java version! And the error reporting was just awful. 5) Horrible peer assignment on "writing a test plan". The explanations was insufficient and confusing to everyone. And also not just for the peer assignment! 3) sometimes using complex vocabulary(I know English but not a native. it was somtimes hard to understand things)

But the week 4 had pretty much the contents i was looking for when i enrolled this course. but you know... just one week was good enough for me.

But over all i don't think this is worth is.

This course is designed to help software engineers and developers, especially those skilled in Java, better understand software testing and how to test. It is not suitable for individuals who have no prior experience in software development, even if they have experience as a software tester, QA analyst, or QA engineer, as it is intended for those who already have experience in software development and want to improve their skills in testing.

TL;DR This course is specifically intended for experienced Java programmers who want to improve their skills in software testing.

The course is well organized and the exercises lead to a learning how effective create unit test

Also the videos are clear in explanation

Just 2 items in order to reach a 5 stars grade:

1) Sometimes the feedback after a submit is not clear. The problem in rejecting a submission should be clear for the user

2) Environment with eclipse is hard to configure for windows 10 and latest eclipse releases

The course is definitely not for people with zero experience in programming/testing. 50% of the course dedicated to unit testing, other 50% are focused on basic software testing concepts. I liked the lectures part, however, the programming assignments were tricky because of a) lack of clarity in the grader feedback and b) task sometimes being unclear (this is mostly about the final task)

Assessments rate process is confusing. Literally impossible to get what is wrong. Resolving by guessing.

Discuss forum inside course used by others to share answers to email rather then suggest how and what to do.

Build in AI consultant gives nice answers except one: Are you human or machine?

I still have questions but during course you are almost alone with all your misunderstandings.

O curso ele elucida bastante a parte teórica sobre testes, relatórios e o seu funcionamento. Explicando assim outras habilidades que serão exigidas no mercado. O curso pode ter melhorias na parte da explicação de como compilar e executar o código, pois para quem tem muitas dificuldades ou não conhece Java, é difícil compreender alguns trechos do código dos testes.

This course is super interesting, the only thing wrong is that it's not updated. The programs used for the assessments, the gradles used are all very old. please update it all to be applicable with the latest java, and gradle.

Expected knowledge of programming and use of Eclipse is more than I expect for this course. I cannot find where I can donwload the sources mentioned in the week 4 videos.

Course itself is very good. Minus one star for assignments where without forum help you are not capable to gain 10/10, even though tests are successful on your Pc

I learnt more from this course only difficult found is the assignment submission .Troubleshooting of assignment eaten more time finally did it. Thanks

Quite challenging yet very educating course. The practice assignments are very good hands-on example and provides insight into testing
