What you'll learn
- writing code and use the JavaScript ecosystem
- foundations of unit testing
- using debugging tools
- directions on "how to practice"

Description
This course is simple!
It is short, to ensure you complete it. It offers a practical guide on the first steps of setting up code and tests in JavaScript/Node.js. Also, it provides practice tips and a guideline for advancing on your learning journey.
Key Highlights:
Essential Knowledge: Focuses on the "bare minimum setup" you need to start.
Practical Framework: Provides a code/test structure and introduces the essential tools like debuggers.
Self-Guided Learning: Empowers you to fill in knowledge gaps by practising further steps by yourself
Who Should Take This Course:
Beginners or those feeling like beginners.
Anyone who has written some code but forgotten most of it.
Those who have used other programming languages and want to learn JavaScript.
Why This Course is Different
Created by a Tester/QA: However, it is not only for test engineers, this is a broad topic suitable for developers, business analysts, and others as well!
Concise and Focused: Designed to be short and engaging! It provides just enough materials to start your journey and keep you motivated.
Realistic: Some parts were not edited away to show you the REAL STRUGGLE one faces daily when dealing with code. I feel your pain! You are not alone!
Who this course is for:
- This course is for people who start learning programming with the emphasis on testing. It is not just for Testers/QAs/test automators. It will also suit a developer, a business analyst, or anybody else who’s interested in coding and testing in JavaScript!

Hi, I'm Ivan, also known as "IvanAndCode"
I'm an experienced test engineer currently focussing on helping people be better at test automation.
I’ve been in testing and test automation for around two decades. As part of my recent “test leadership” role, I started spending more and more time teaching others. And I quickly realised that I liked it very much
But... 1-on-1 coaching doesn’t scale. There’s only one me and many of you. So here we are… doing the courses. Now you also get a chance to learn something from me.
If you are a junior test engineer or someone experienced who has never automated, I can help you. I specialise in the JavaScript ecosystem because it is a language of the web and learning it allows you to be a "full-stack" test engineer.
Some examples of what you can do with knowing ONLY JavaScript:
✅UI testing
✅API testing
✅Unit/integration testing
✅Visual/component testing
✅Performance testing
...and more. You could also learn about the contract-first approach and building contracts, secret/credentials management, CI/CD pipelines, working with Git, and more, and more...
I am very excited to bring you on a learning journey.
Buckle up! Let's go!
