Agile and automation are now playing an increasingly important role in the evolution of software development, and it’s now more critical than ever for testing to keep pace with the shorter development cycles. Selenium is a popular open source browser automation tool which helps test teams increase the speed and quality of testing. This course provides those in testing and development roles the foundational skills required to leverage Selenium in order to write meaningful automated tests using sustainable methodologies.

Max Saperstone has been working as a software and test engineer for over a decade, with a focus on test automation within the CI/CD process. He specializes in open source tools, including the Selenium tool suite, JMeter, AutoIT, Cucumber, and Chef. Max has led several test automation efforts, including developing an automated suite focusing on web-based software to operate over several applications for Kronos Federal. He also headed a project with Delta Dental, developing an automated testing structure to run Cucumber tests over multiple test interfaces and environments, while also developing a system to keep test data "ageless." He currently heads up the development of Selenified, an open source testing framework to allow for testing of multiple interfaces, custom reporting, and minimal test upkeep.
