Leverage Selenium WebDriver to Test and Verify Web Applications using Automation.

Automated Web Testing with Selenium WebDriver is a hands-on web testing course, essential for experienced web developers and test engineers who need to verify web applications using automation. This course introduces the student to the concepts and techniques of testing Web Application with the Selenium, Java and JUnit. This hands-on class focuses on practical skills and best practices to ensure the student learns the ins and outs of Web Application testing with Selenium WebDriver.

Selenium provides mechanisms for interacting with web pages through browsers, including locating and interacting with specific features within a web interface. A tool such as Selenium IDE or Katalon can be used to perform the testing in a relatively manual fashion. Selenium also comes with WebDriver, which provides a programmatic interface (API) for controlling and managing Selenium tests and interactions.

WebDriver provides a mechanism for capturing and repeating tests with a web interface. To use WebDriver, developers must work with a programming language such as Java to control and manage the testing. This course focuses on using WebDriver and Java to control and manage the Selenium tests. To participate in the hands-on labs, incoming students should have familiarity with basic Java syntax. Students without basic Java background are welcome to follow along with the labs and cut and paste code or lab solutions as needed.

What You Will Learn

Students who attend Automated Web Testing with Selenium Driver will leave the course armed with the skills required to recognize how to test web applications for sufficiency. This course uses Selenium and the WebDriver interface to design and implement tests. The student will work with a sample Web Application that requires several testing scenarios.

This “skills-centric” course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in core Selenium and web testing skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Working in a hands-on environment led by our expert practitioner students will:

  • Understand web page testing needs and how Selenium meets those needs
  • Analyze a web application from a functional and testing perspective
  • Use Selenium constructs to locate elements on a web page
  • Test web page forms and the elements in those forms
  • Use test suites to organize and manage tests
  • Review Java constructs needed to by testers in working with WebDriver
  • Design code and run automated Selenium tests using the Java WebDriver API
  • Use the WebDriver API to test advanced web features such as delayed responses and Ajax
  • Using a combination of JUnit 5 features and WebDriver to consume streams of data for testing
  • Focus on Best Practices for Selenium testing using the Java WebDriver API
