Overview
Manual testing refers to the fact that, the web application being tested is done manually by testers. Tests need to be performed manually, using a different data set and the success / failure rate of every transaction should be recorded. The challenges faced by the poor tester who does is manually is facing cause fatigue, boredom, delay in work, mistakes and errors because of the manual work. This leads to the need for automation testing.
Automation testing beats manual testing every time. Because it is faster, needs less investment in human resource, not prone to errors, frequent execution is possible, supports lights out execution and supports regression testing and also functional testing.
Selenium is a suite of software tools used to automate web browser testing. It is an open-source tool and is mainly used for functional testing and regression testing. Since it is open-source, there is no licensing cost involved, which is a major advantage over other testing tools.
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.
- Introduction to Automation Testing
- Web Technologies
- Selenium IDE
- Python
- Selenium RC
- Eclipse
- WebDriver
- Grid
Prerequisites
The pre-requisite for this course is basic knowledge of Core Python. However the program also includes a complimentary chapter Python Essentials for Testing with Selenium WebDriver to the participants. Basic knowledge about software testing is added value to this program
Target Audience
The course is ideal for test managers, test engineers, test lead, test analyst, quality assurance Engineers, software developers and engineers who want to learn automation testing.
