Hey, this is Artem - test engineer, educator, and the person behind this academy.

I like test automation because it drastically reduces the workload of manual testing. Also, it's a lot of fun when you build a system that autonomously does your job.

Since 2020, I have been teaching how to use the best frameworks on the market, their best practices, and how to approach test automation professionally. I enjoy helping QAs around the world elevate their careers to the next level.
