To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You’ll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to slowly building features, resulting in large coding projects at the end of the course.
Course Learning Objectives:

  • Write unit tests with Jest
  • Develop software using test-driven development
  • Test APIs with Postman
  • Test software with popular tools such as JMeter, Selenium, and Cucumber

Course 3 of 6 in the Software Engineering Tools and Practices Specialization.

What You Will Learn

  • Create tests with Jest
  • Test UIs with Selenium and Cucumber
  • Use testing tools like Postman and JMeter
