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.

Skip to 0 minutes and 1 second SPEAKER: Are you on autopilot when it comes to automation testing? Do you need to kickstart your skills on web applications? Well, look no further than this three-week course. Mayur Deshmukh from De ZINNIA Learning walks you through the fundamentals of automation in Java to help you get back to Automation Station. By taking this course, you will learn to retrieve, verify, and automate web elements, apply TestNG parameters, and create a TestNG automation framework. Choose when and where to learn. Step into your future with Selenium automation testing for web applications from Packt and FutureLearn.

What topics will you cover?

This course is designed to guide you through Selenium WebDriver and Java, right from the basics to the advanced aspects. If you do not have prior knowledge of Java, you can start with the Java modules, which comprise the first few sections of the course. You can then start exploring the Selenium WebDriver videos after you’ve developed some fluency in Java. Remember, you do not need to go through all the sections in Java before starting with Selenium WebDriver, especially if you’re already familiar with Java. The first six sections of Java should be sufficient to get you ready to learn Selenium WebDriver.
