Selenium Training – Web Automation Workshop

Course Outline

This mid- to advanced-level workshop is designed to teach automation testers and developers the functionality of Selenium and how to begin the process of building an automated framework. This workshop is offered as a series of hands-on “projects” that require participants to understand, design, and implement components of an automated testing framework.

This is a mid- to advanced-level workshop for automation testers and developers

A background in programming (e.g. Java) and/or scripting and understanding of basic Selenium features.

Selenium Training – Web Automation Workshop Benefits

Install and configure the necessary components needed to run Selenium successfully
Identify and inspect objects and attributes on a variety of browsers
Develop reusable functions as part of creating a Selenium automated framework
Enhance and maintain a Selenium framework

Module Six

Selenium for Mobile Web Testing
- iOS
- Android
- Sub-classing elements as Mobile Elements
Maven Packaging, Management, and distribution
Jenkins Continuous Integration
GitHub

Module Seven

Extensive framework development (class participant exercise)
- Additional test case development
- How to maintain a framework when the application changes
Open topics (recap anything that needs more explanation)

Module Eight

Test environment configuration day
- Participants will be given an application and test plan. They will be asked to set up the test framework and produce a report of their execution.
- This will test their ability to create a suite from beginning to end and allow them to walk away from the classroom with a complete Selenium proof of concept environment.
- Ideally this will include Selenium, POM or Keyword framework, Selenium Grid, GitHub, Jenkins, and exercising Continuous Integration.
