Hi, I am in the process of learning test automation, Selenium + Java at the moment. It seems that still, the best way to learn it is some kind of apprenticeship. (But there is an issue that there you will not learn best practices, just this given person/company practices). Most courses just skim topics, are not project focused, and do not talk about common problems and connected tools.

What was your approach to learn, do you have any sources to recommend? Is test automation your line of professional work?

yeah learning all about automation was a bit stressful because our company had re-organized teams so there was a lot of new people on new teams

but I'm lucky because now our company really wants to focus on quality, so test automation is a big part of it

I'll check out that link, its funny because my company is looking to purchase a license for an Applitools product. I've had a few meetings with people from that company already
