Introduction to Selenium and Selenium Web Testing

Course Objectives

Students who attend Introduction to Selenium 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.  Working in a hands-on learning envionment led by our expert team you'll learn to:

• Throughout the course you’ll work with a sample Web Application that requires several testing scenarios. Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn to:

• Understand web page testing needs and how Selenium meets those needs
• Analyze a web application from a functional and testing perspective
• Design, code, and run manual tests using the Selenium IDE
• Use Selenium constructs to locate elements on a web page
• Test web page forms and the elements in those forms
• 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

Need different skills or topics?  If your team requires different topics or tools, additional skills or custom approach, this course may be further adjusted to accommodate.  We offer additional testing, Selenium, Cucumber, Gherkin, Python, TDD, BDD, programming, testing tools, test automation, QA, services, security and other related topics that may be blended with this course for a track that best suits your needs. Our team will collaborate with you to understand your needs and will target the course to focus on your specific learning objectives and goals.

Course Prerequisites

This is an introductory-level Selenium course, designed for experienced web developers that are familiar with Java, who wish to get up and running on testing web applications.  Ideally students should have approximately 6 months to a year of web development working knowledge.

NOTE: For some of the labs, attendees should have some familiarity with basic Java syntax prior to attending this class. Basic Java fundamentals are NOT covered this course.  For attendees light on Java skills, code may be copied and pasted to complete those exercises.

Take Before:  We recommend attendees have the skills in the course listed below, or attend this course as a pre-requisite:

• TT2190        Basic Java Primer for Non-Developers (QA, testers, etc) – 2 days
