Mastering Selenium in Java
(including Maven, JUnit, and Jenkins) - 28 hours

Concepts

This practical course establishes a strong foundation for developing test automation scripts and frameworks tailored for web-based applications. You'll delve into Selenium WebDriver, the de facto standard library for managing browsers, enabling automated interactions with the browser's user interface. Through this course, you'll gain mastery of best practices in test automation, ensuring that your scripts are not only robust but also easy to maintain. Within a Maven project, you'll merge Selenium with JUnit, a widely-used framework for unit and functional test automation, preparing your scripts to execute seamlessly from the command line. Additionally, you'll acquire essential insights into Continuous Integration (CI) practices, leveraging Jenkins, the most popular CI server, to execute your tests efficiently.

Audience

This comprehensive course is designed for individuals aiming to leverage their Java skills for the highly sought-after profession of test automation engineering

Pre-requisites
