Automation Testing

Course Overview:

This course provides a hands-on introduction to Selenium, the most popular automation testing tool for web applications. Participants will learn to create robust test scripts using Selenium WebDriver, understand testing frameworks, and implement automation best practices to ensure efficient and reliable testing processes.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the fundamentals of software testing and automation.

Learn to set up and use Selenium WebDriver for browser automation.

Write effective test scripts in Java or Python.

Implement testing frameworks like TestNG, JUnit, or Pytest.

Integrate Selenium with tools like Jenkins and Maven for CI/CD pipelines.

Gain insights into debugging, logging, and reporting.

Key Topics Covered:

Module 1: Introduction to Automation Testing

What is automation testing, and why use it?
Manual vs. Automation Testing.
Overview of Selenium and its components (Selenium IDE, RC, WebDriver, and Grid).

Module 2: Setting Up the Environment

Installing and configuring Selenium WebDriver.
Setting up a development environment (Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA for Java / VS Code or PyCharm for Python).
Installing and configuring Maven (for Java) or pip (for Python).
Installing required browser drivers (e.g., ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver).

Module 3: Basics of Programming for Selenium

Java Basics (if using Java):

Variables, data types, and control structures.
Object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts: Classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism.
Exception handling in Java.

Python Basics (if using Python):

Variables, data types, and control structures.
Functions, modules, and packages.
OOP concepts and exception handling.

Module 4: Selenium WebDriver Basics

Understanding WebDriver architecture.

Locating web elements using:

ID, Name, Class Name, Tag Name.
CSS Selectors and XPath (absolute and relative).

Performing actions on elements:

Clicking, typing, and submitting forms.
Handling dropdowns, checkboxes, and radio buttons.
Handling browser windows, alerts, and frames.

Module 5: Advanced Selenium Features

Implicit and explicit waits for synchronization.
Capturing screenshots for reporting.
Automating file uploads and downloads.
Executing JavaScript with WebDriver.
Handling dynamic web elements and AJAX calls.

Module 6: Test Frameworks

Introduction to TestNG (Java) or Pytest (Python).
Writing and executing test cases.
Test annotations and grouping tests.
Data-driven testing with Excel or CSV files.
Generating test reports.

Module 7: Selenium Grid and Cross-Browser Testing

Introduction to Selenium Grid.
Configuring Grid for distributed testing.
Running tests on multiple browsers and platforms.
Performing parallel execution of test cases.

Module 8: Integration and CI/CD

Integrating Selenium with Maven or Gradle (Java).
Using Jenkins for continuous testing.
Git/GitHub for version control in test automation projects.
Generating detailed HTML reports (Allure or Extent Reports).

Module 9: Debugging and Maintenance

Debugging failed test cases.
Logging in Selenium using Log4j or Python’s logging module.
Refactoring test scripts for reusability and scalability.
