Selenium WebDriver Java
The web testing standard
Selenium WebDriver has become the standard tool for automated web testing. It has received an endorsement from W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), the community which works on web standards development and Selenium 4 is W3C compliant. It is open-source and provides a powerful set of tools for testing your web site. It is available on any platform and can be used with just about any web browser, including remote execution via Selenium Grid.
You can also integrate it into a huge variety of frameworks such as Cucumber, SpecFlow, Mocha etc, as well as testing frameworks such as NUnit, xUnit, JUnit, MSTest etc., and use your choice of assertion libraries. It also integrates very easily into Continuous Integration Tools such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, TeamCity etc.
Our Course
Our Selenium Java course is very comprehensive, and covers all you need to know about Selenium WebDriver Java. It includes in-depth topics on locators (critical to reliable tests), Page Object Models, integration into CI tools. It also covers topics on Selenium Grid/Server and Selenium IDE.
Technologies Used
- IntelliJ, Maven, Selenium WebDriver Java, JUnit, Java, Git, GitHub, Jenkins
We can use Eclipse instead of IntelliJ if you prefer.
Delivery
The course can be taken online or on-site at your offices. For the online training, it is live, instructor-led and we use Microsoft Teams for our virtual classroom environment. All delegates receive a very comprehensive workbook.
The online course is over 5 days, with each day being approximately 3.5 hours of online training. For classroom training it is a 3 full day course.
