Everything that unlocks the moment you pay
Lesson 1
Why, install and objectives
What Cursor actually is, install on macOS, Windows, Linux or WSL, first-run setup for testers, the four core commands, the @-context symbols, your first rules file, a practice lab and a ten-question check.
Lesson 2
Every command and feature
Thirty-nine reference sections: all modes, the complete keyboard reference, the rules system in full, models and context windows, MCP servers, background agents, terminal and git integration, twelve testing workflows, CI, cost control and governance.
Lesson 3
Three build-along projects
A Playwright e-commerce suite with sharded CI, a seeded test-data factory with a PII anonymiser, an API contract-testing harness with a coverage gate, and a bonus flaky-test detector. Every prompt verbatim, every stage gated.
Reference
100+ copy-paste prompts
Prompts for test design, debugging, flake triage, coverage gaps, regression scoping, bug reports, PR review and onboarding — all written for testers, all ready to use.
Recordings
Class recordings
The live session recordings sit alongside the written notes in the same section, so you can watch or read whichever suits you.

The full syllabus
What your money is actually buying
| Lesson | Sections | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Why, install and objectives | 15 | What Cursor is and how the index works · install on every OS · Cursor vs VS Code vs Copilot vs Claude Code · first-run setup · interface tour · the four core commands · the @-symbols · your first real QA task · rules files · keyboard cheat sheet · mistakes · lab · quiz |
| 2 — Every command and feature | 39 | Every mode with blast radius and failure mode · full keyboard and command palette reference · Tab and inline edit patterns · agent mode in depth · the rules system · ignore files · models and context windows · every setting · MCP servers · notepads · code review and background agents · terminal and git · Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, API, Appium, k6, accessibility, data and BDD workflows · test design · flake triage · CI · prompt library · cost · governance · anti-patterns · troubleshooting · interview questions · glossary · quiz |
| 3 — Build 3 QA tools | 9 stages | Playwright suite: rules, exploration, page objects, fixtures and cached auth, specs, mocking, sharded CI · data factory: types, seeding, edge-case library, anonymiser CLI · API harness: contract analysis, client layer, negative matrix, coverage gate · bonus flake detector · integration and self-assessment |
| Stack covered | What you get |
|---|---|
| Playwright + TypeScript | The primary track: page objects from real markup, fixtures, storage state, route mocking, tagging, traces and sharded CI |
| Selenium + Java | PageFactory conventions, Thread.sleep removal, Selenium 3 to 4 migration, TestNG data providers, thread safety, Grid config, Allure |
| Cypress | cy.session custom commands, intercept-based waiting, component tests, and a Playwright migration path |
| API and contract | OpenAPI-driven generation, the six-case negative matrix, schema validation, Pact, idempotency, pagination, coverage gap reporting |
| Mobile (Appium) | Cross-platform screen objects, fluent waits, scroll helpers — with an honest warning about where the model is weak |
| Performance (k6 / JMeter) | Script generation, threshold design, HAR and JMX conversion, correlation, result interpretation |
| Accessibility | Axe integration plus the manual checks automation cannot cover |
| Test data and BDD | Seeded factories, boundary matrices, pairwise reduction, anonymisation, and declarative step definitions |
Why now
What one week of this saves you
| Task you do today | How long it takes now | After this course |
|---|---|---|
| Write a page object for a new page | 25–40 minutes | 3–5 minutes, mostly review |
| Turn an epic into a test-case table | Half a day | 20 minutes, plus a list of ambiguities to raise |
| Root-cause a CI-only failure | 30–60 minutes | 5–10 minutes with four attachments |
| Audit a suite for flakiness | Nobody does it | Seconds, with a ranked fix list |
| Generate API tests from a spec | A sprint of backlog | An afternoon, with a coverage gate |
| Understand an unfamiliar framework | 2–3 days | One prompt and an afternoon |
| Migrate a suite between frameworks | Weeks | Days, reviewed by diff |
| Build a test-data factory with edge cases | Never gets prioritised | 90 minutes, reusable forever |
The honest pitch
This course will not make you a better tester. It will make you a much faster one, and it spends a lot of its length on the review discipline that stops speed turning into technical debt. If you want a tool that writes tests you never have to read, this is not that course — and that tool does not exist.
Questions before you pay
undefined
Do I need to know how to code?
You need to read code confidently and know one language well enough to spot when something is wrong. You do not need to be able to build a framework from scratch. If you have written a test in any language, you will be fine.
Which framework is this taught in?
Playwright with TypeScript is the main track, with full prompt sets for Selenium + Java, Cypress, RestAssured, Appium and k6. The technique transfers between them — only the constraints in your rules file change.
Does Cursor cost extra?
Cursor has a free tier sufficient for every lesson and all four projects. Paid tiers give more requests and stronger models. The course includes a cost-control section so you do not waste your allowance.
I already have Copilot. Why this?
Lesson two compares them directly. Copilot is autocomplete-first; Cursor indexes your whole repository and edits many files in one instruction, which matters a great deal when page objects, fixtures and specs must stay consistent. Most people end up using both, for different things.
Is this video or written?
Both. The three lessons are complete written notes with diagrams, tables and copy-paste prompts, and the class recordings sit alongside them. Most students end up using the written material far more.
How long will it take me?
About two and a half hours of reading, plus roughly six hours if you build all the projects. Most people spread it over a week or two.
Can I use this at work?
Check your organisation's AI policy first. The course covers exactly how to have that conversation, plus privacy mode, ignore files and a governance checklist you can take to your lead.
Will this help me get a job or a promotion?
It gives you three concrete projects to talk about and ten interview questions with model answers. The thing that impresses interviewers is not that you used AI — it is what you caught in its output.
What if the tool changes?
It will, constantly. The course teaches categories and principles rather than version-specific button positions, and the material is revised as significant features land. Your access includes those updates.
Refunds?
See the refund terms shown with the pricing. If it is not right for you, we would rather refund you than have you sitting on a course you do not use.
Do I need a powerful machine?
No. Any laptop that runs VS Code comfortably will run Cursor. The projects use Node and a browser, nothing heavy.
Is there support if I get stuck?
Yes — the community and support links in the footer, and the lessons include a troubleshooting section covering the failures people actually hit.
