The aim of the study course is to prepare the individual for the intermediate level mobile test automation technical interview and therefore also prepare for working in a project with related needs as an intermediate level test automation engineer. *** Note: 1. Video materials with all related topics will be provided. You will be able to study at your own pace and your own desired time. 2. Short (max 2h) live call where we go through your submitted questions or some of the topics which were not fully understood (you will be able to submit these questions in advance) 3. Technical task - again, not live, you will start when you wish to do so and will have a limited time to submit the task. Therefore the course should take around 10-12h + 4h time limit for the technical task, but from these only 2 hours will be an online call, scheduled on 22.10 at 18:00-20:00.
