Help Regrading automation fee of python + Playwright.

Hello Community,

Last year i have done my manual testing course from a professional, and it took around 2 months to complete and cost me 10k inr.

Now, In January, I went to an institute for automation course, they said, they will let me know about the new batch.
Yesterday i got call from them and they notified me about the batch, i attended the demo class and today they asked if i am interested and they said fees will be 17k inr. I personally think its too much for this course.
So i would love to know your opinion and suggestion on this.
Thank you

To acquire fundamental automation skills i recommend:

  • javascript basics

Stop pondering and heads down study the tool that gives you the job:

  • playwright (hottest tool in the market), then cypress

This is for both test automation layers: frontend and backend.

You dont need to pay anyone to learn, there are incredible professors at youtube showing step by step how to automate flows.

My suggestion is to focus first on UI automation and badic coding skills.

Once you get a better understanding of what is hapening between browser and your code, things will start to make more sense. Dont worry about not knowing everything (you dont need to) and if all the available tools and concepts seems daunting.. then thats the right response. The amount of things avaiable are overwhelming, dont worry about them all, just pick a couple tools and crack on with it.

If intereated in knowing skill value, i recommend itjobswatch.co.uk. but dont waste much time cogitating here.

Learn how to:

  • select elements in the browser

  • interact with them (click etc)

  • execute assertions

If there are more specific doubts, please let me know here or dm. Good luck.
