Selenium Test Automation: From the Ground Up

Add to calendar

Knowledge of Selenium, the industry-standard tool for testing web applications, is a much sought after skill in today’s world of test automation. If you want to learn Selenium, then this full-day tutorial is a great start. Cheezy Morgan shows you how to build test automation using Selenium. But he doesn’t stop there. He uses his years of experience to show you how to build automation that is clean and easy to maintain. Cheezy introduces other tools that work with Selenium to help manage the data used to drive your tests, evaluate JavaScript-heavy applications, manage your test configuration, and make it very easy to run a single test across multiple browsers—even mobile browsers. Finally, Cheezy talks about workflows for integrating this type of testing into your software development lifecycle. If you want to get started with Selenium automation, this is a great place to start.

The Selenium Tutorial is a hands-on workshop.  If you plan to participate in the hands-on coding activities you will need to come prepared with a laptop that has the following software installed. The class will be run simultaneously in Java and Ruby so please pick the IDE corresponding to the language you wish to use.
