Duration

3 days

Overview

This introductory course is designed to familiarize testing professionals with the basics of testing web applications using Selenium. Testers can build, enhance, and maintain scripts using Visual Studio. Hands-on instruction is provided for those who want to explore the power of using Selenium. The focus is on the practical application of Selenium to resolve common web automated testing challenges. This course focuses on getting started with Selenium.

The C# module is designed to provide students with the foundation in C# necessary for RTTS' Advanced Selenium course. This module is intended for users of Selenium seeking to gain the C# skills necessary to customize test scripts.

This advanced-level course is designed to bring testing professionals who use Selenium to a new level of skill with the tool. Testers will learn how to use advanced Selenium features to enhance Selenium automated test suites using the Visual Studio IDE Editor. Hands-on instruction is provided for those who want to explore the power of using Selenium. The focus is on the practical application of Selenium to resolve web automated testing challenges with sophistication.

Objective

The main objective of this course is to show applications how to create fully automated testing suites for applications. Specifically, participants of this program should be able to do the following upon completion of the course.

  • Describe the function and purpose of Selenium
  • Record automated scripts
  • Play back automated scripts
  • View and analyse results
  • Modify scripts to extend the capability to test the application
  • Configure Selenium WebDriver with Microsoft Visual Studio
  • Configure Custom Log Files
  • Explain key concepts related to C# technology and C# programming
  • Use decision constructs and loops
  • Create C# classes
  • Develop and use methods
  • Create and use single and multi-dimensional arrays
  • Use inheritance to extend classes
  • Understand inheritance and polymorphism
  • Parse strings using String, StringBuilders and Regular Expressions
  • Utilize advanced programming techniques to drive Selenium
  • Perform SQL calls to verify data
  • Programmatically search for web objects
  • Dynamically capture data from web controls
  • Design a data-driven testing framework in Selenium
  • Create distributed user testing to perform multi-user tests (Selenium Grid tests)

Prerequisites

To benefit from this course, you should have:

  • Some software development experience (recommended)
  • General understanding of Windows-based applications (desired)
  • Knowledge of C# programming is not a prerequisite for this course, but such knowledge is beneficial.

Target Audience
