The Problem
Traditional tests break when UI changes. You spend more time fixing tests than finding bugs.
Available Courses
Each course features the signature Marilyn vos Savant meets The Onion style— intellectually rigorous content delivered with satirical wit.
Core CurriculumAction Based Testing
ABT Fundamentals
Master the revolutionary three-layer architecture that separates test logic from implementation. Learn to build maintainable, reusable test modules that survive UI changes.
Did you know? Organizations using ABT report up to 80% reduction in test maintenance costs. The three-layer architecture means a single UI change requires updating only one place, not hundreds of test cases.
Why take this course? In an industry where 60% of testing effort goes to maintenance, ABT transforms testing from a cost center into a strategic asset. Your tests become living documentation that actually stays current.
Bonus CourseC# Coding Style
Clean Code Principles
Transform your code from 'it works' to 'it's a pleasure to read.' Learn file organization, naming conventions, indentation rules, and the subtle art of making code self-documenting.
Did you know? Studies show developers spend 10x more time reading code than writing it. A consistent coding style reduces cognitive load by up to 30%, letting your brain focus on logic instead of deciphering formatting.
Why take this course? Code is read far more often than it's written. Clean, consistent style isn't vanity—it's velocity. Teams with enforced style guides ship faster because code reviews focus on logic, not formatting debates.
Bonus CourseThe Fine Art of Commenting
Documentation That Helps
Learn when NOT to comment (most of the time) and when comments are essential. Master XML documentation, avoid the 'comment smell,' and write comments that future-you will thank you for.
Did you know? The best comment is often no comment at all. Research shows that 62% of comments in production code are either redundant, outdated, or misleading. Good code explains itself; comments explain why.
Why take this course? Bad comments are worse than no comments—they actively mislead. This course teaches you to write comments that add value, not noise. Your future self (debugging at 2 AM) will be grateful.
Bonus CourseTechnical Writing
Made Easier
Master the three pillars of technical writing: legibility, readability, and comprehensibility. Learn sentence structure, style rules, and the editor's pet peeves that will make or break your documentation.
Did you know? The average technical document is read for only 2-3 minutes before the reader decides to continue or abandon it. Clear writing isn't just nice—it's the difference between documentation that's used and documentation that's ignored.
Why take this course? Every developer writes documentation, but few write it well. Poor documentation costs the industry billions in wasted time. This course gives you the tools to write docs people actually want to read.
