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.
