Duration

SELENIUM - C# - Test Automation

4 days

Objective

To achieve Test Automation using Selenium – C# and also designing a framework from scratch with CI/CD pipeline.

Prerequisite

This course is intended for beginners or intermediate testers, leads who need to develop or improve automation techniques using Selenium and framework design from scratch. While previous testing tool knowledge is not required, fundamental of testing knowledge is required.

Delivery Method

Focus will be on demonstrating the tool features and applying this on live web applications to ensure that the concepts are well understood. In addition to this, the participants are expected to write and execute scripts to build familiarity with the tool.

Lab Setup (Hardware & Software)

  • Laptop or Desktop machine with minimum 8 GB RAM and with Windows OS
  • Open Visual Studio installer from the start menu after the installation of Visual Studio and install .Net desktop development.
  • Access to visual studio NuGet package manager and Extensions and updates.
  • Open network to download libs/ browsers from online during the session.
  • Github Account
