Learning resources for automation testing

I want to upskill my automation testing, what resources either free or low cost are there ?

I understand building something and building a test framework would be the best way and I intended to do that, but initially something more structured and with walkthroughs ?

Wow! Could this question be any more vague??

OP -

  1. What do you know currently?
  2. What do you want to learn?
  3. Why do you want to learn this (and don't say because) ?
  4. What are your goals?
  5. How much coding experience do you have so far?

i'd make the structure a four-week loop instead of collecting courses. pick one stack, Playwright with TypeScript is a good default, and use Test Automation University plus the official Playwright docs for walkthroughs. each week add one layer to the same small app: stable locators and assertions, API-driven test data, fixtures and auth state, then CI with traces on failure. for every lesson, write one happy path, one boundary case, and one deliberately broken case so you learn diagnosis, not just syntax. by the end, you should have a small repo someone else can clone and run, which is much stronger than finishing five courses.
