Selenium Automation Testing for Web Applications

Packt via FutureLearn

Overview

Improve your test automation processes with Selenium WebDriver

Web test automation replaces human interaction with automated processes across WebApps and operating systems, ensuring your coding runs smoothly.

On this three-week course, you’ll explore the processes of Selenium WebDriver, and learn how to use this powerful package of automation tools.

Test your web applications and elements, from browser pop-ups to JavaScript alerts

WebDriver can execute a variety of tests across browsers and is compatible with an array of programming languages.

On this course, you’ll explore test automation for WebElements, iFrames, mouse actions, and more. You’ll learn how to synchronise various tests, creating faster test cycles that can easily be repeated.

Develop an automation framework with the Page Object Model (POM)

As your projects grow in size and complexity, managing your work can become difficult.

You’ll explore POM design and learn how to simplify your work by creating a repository for your WebElements.

With these skills, you’ll be able to reduce code duplication and improve test script maintenance.

Expand your range of test categories with TestNG

The capabilities of Selenium WebDriver increase massively when used in conjunction with Java-based frameworks such as TestNG.

You’ll examine how to enhance your testing even further with inbuilt reporting, easier grouping methods, and flexible test configurations.

With TestNG, you can make parallel testing faster and easier. You’ll also be able to correct mistakes in record time with easy to read annotations.

By the end of this course, you’ll have learned how Selenium WebDriver can simplify your testing needs from unit testing to integration testing. With this knowledge you can spot and respond to mistakes, deploy bug-free applications across browsers, and maintain test scripts with ease.

This course is designed for developers and those interested in beginning a career in software testing. A working knowledge of Java and basic knowledge of Selenium applications would be useful.

You’ll need access to an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for Java, such as Eclipse.
