    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

    Too much unexplained that's tested on. The content overall is good stuff to know, but some assigments aren't explained well and some quiz questions aren't covered in the lectures. The discussion forums are filled with people asking for help on common issues. The most important assignment in my opinion, which is building a test plan, is a great assignment, but it has unclear direction and isn't discussed in the lectures hardly at all. The example test plan doesn't follow the same format so its of use, but not completely. I still recommnd the course since it offers structure for study, but go in knowing its got issues and that you'll be using outside sources to fill in the gaps to get through some assignments and quizzes.

    I learned a great deal from this course and I would have rated it higher, but I found the instructions for the assignments to be quite ambiguous, as was the automated feedback from the grader. This caused me to spend a lot more time on the assignments than was necessary and I got quite frustrated with the waste of my time. The instructors and mentor's don't appear to spend a lot of time in the forums and getting help was more difficult than it should have been. This is my third specialty on Coursera and my 14th course, so I do have some experience with what it's like with other courses (eg: better)

    This cause is good as a basic intro to software testing.

    Nice refresher about a software testing.

    The only drawback is that in the end you need to solve problem that latest jre/junit/gradler/mochito which is neeed for this course and which you can install locally is not backwards compatible with the versions used for on line grading of your code, so it is a pain to produce test java code with one version and then to manually modify it to work with the online grader. This will be the pain in the end so please get prepared for it.

    The course itself is very interesting, but the assignment they gave are often times buggy and faulty. I advise people who took this course to go through the discussion forum frequently to look for answers instead of trying it out on your own if you hit any errors to not waste your time and effort.

    the last lesson was very difficult if not impossible to understand from the instructions. It is an older course and could have been updated since 2017. most of the testing should have been rewritten to explain the differences between the validators.

    The course is a good course and it is the foundation into testing as it were. However, i would i like to say that the programming assignments were not explicit enough, there isn't concise instructions as to how to go about solving the questions .

    No he podido seguir el ritmo del curso porque esta totalmente en ingles y por mas que utilice el traductor es imposible avanzar con buen ritmo.

    Estaría muy apropiado que hagan la aclaración con anticipación sobre el idioma en el que se da el curso.

    Are there any plans to make the last course of the certification available? Or update it with another course to unblock the certification? If not, then I would call it a waste of time, otherwise it was a good introduction to software testing.

    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.
