Description

Training Introduction:

The course “Automation Testing with Selenium: From Basics to Advanced” is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge required to effectively use Selenium for automated web application testing. Selenium is one of the most widely used open-source automation tools, and it enables testers to automate browsers, ensuring that web applications function correctly.

This training covers both the fundamentals and advanced techniques of Selenium, making it suitable for beginners as well as those who want to enhance their automation skills. From understanding the basics of web elements and writing your first Selenium script to mastering advanced topics such as Selenium Grid, Data-Driven Testing, and integration with frameworks like TestNG and Jenkins, this course offers a complete guide to automation testing with Selenium.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to create robust test scripts, automate complex test scenarios, and implement best practices in automation testing.

Prerequisites:

• Basic understanding of manual testing concepts.
• Familiarity with at least one programming language (Java, Python, or C# preferred).
• Understanding of HTML, CSS, and basic web technologies.
• A working environment (Windows, macOS, or Linux) with basic software installed (e.g., a browser and a code editor).
