Free email course · 5 emails · 2 minutes each
You don't need to automate everything. You need to automate the right things.
Most automation advice starts with tools. This starts with the decision that comes before the tool: what is worth automating, and what happens to a suite six months later when nobody trusts it anymore. Five emails, one a day. Each one takes two minutes to read and ends with something you can do that afternoon. If you read all five and never buy anything from us, you should still be better at your job.

Five emails, five decisions
Each email takes one idea from Natalia's one-day course and leaves you with something to try that afternoon.
- Email 01
Why a bigger suite isn't a better one
Where most teams start automating, and why the suite that grows fastest is usually the one nobody trusts six months later.
- Email 02
Why the tool discussion is the wrong argument
Selenium, Playwright, Cypress: the decision that matters comes before any of them, and it's about what to automate.
- Email 03
Why a passing test can still be badly designed
Green doesn't mean good. What a well-designed check looks like, and how to spot one that only pretends.
- Email 04
What happens when a red build stops meaning anything
How teams drift into ignoring failures, and the small habits that keep a red build worth taking seriously.
- Email 05
How to show what you can actually do
Turning the previous four lessons into something visible: in your work, in your team, and when you talk about your career.
Written for testers who already know how to write a test
The course is for people a few years into testing who want to get better at deciding what to automate, not at typing out one more locator.
- Testers a few years in, who can write a test but want to decide better which tests are worth writing.
- Manual testers moving towards automation who'd rather start with the thinking than with a tool.
- Not a beginner's introduction, and not a tool tutorial.
