This Selenium WebDriver training teaches Java Developers how to create Selenium automated test scripts for simple to complex SPA web applications. Learners discover how to use the flexibility of Java test scripts to direct Selenium in testing all aspects of a web application. The training starts off with locating and exercising simple elements on a web page. Learners then proceed to complex tasks including efficiently waiting for Ajax calls to complete, structuring projects to the POM for maintainability, and moving to new windows within the same application.
- This course is over 65% hands-on labs where learners apply their newly acquired real-world skills to develop Selenium automated Java tests.
- Note: This class uses Selenium v. 3 and 4 in the Windows environment.
Skills Gained
- Explain the major building blocks of the Selenium tool suite.
- Use Selenium WebDriver to write web application automated test scripts in Java.
- Control test script execution with waits.
