Overview

Class Central Tips

The course is designed for those looking to elevate their automation testing skills by creating a Selenium test framework from the ground up. It begins with an introduction to essential tools like TestNG for testing, Maven for build management, and Jenkins for continuous integration. You will learn the advantages of each tool and how they contribute to a robust automation framework. The course then covers the step-by-step process of building and running tests, including executing test cases in parallel and generating detailed reports. Next, you will delve into advanced concepts such as Page Object Design Patterns, which promote code reusability and maintainability. This section will guide you in creating object repositories, page classes, and invoking these within your test cases. You will also learn how to dynamically manage environment variables and trigger builds in Jenkins based on the status of your tests. The course offers practical insights into using Selenium Grid for cross-browser testing, enabling you to execute your tests remotely and efficiently on multiple browsers and platforms. To ensure you have a solid foundation, the course revisits key Java OOP concepts and their practical applications in framework design. By the end, you will have a deep understanding of how to architect a scalable, maintainable, and efficient Selenium test framework suitable for enterprise-level projects. This comprehensive course equips you with the skills needed to excel in test automation and framework design. Ideal for testers, QA engineers, and automation architects looking to master Selenium framework design. Basic Java and Selenium recommended.

Syllabus

Introduction

In this module, we will explore Jenkins as a continuous integration tool, focusing on its capabilities to automate and streamline the software development process. You will learn how to set up a Jenkins-Maven project, run builds, and generate reports. Additionally, we will cover how to schedule Jenkins builds to execute on a recurring basis or as needed, ensuring efficient and consistent project management.

TestNG Testing Framework

In this module, we will introduce you to the course content and objectives, providing a clear understanding of what you will achieve by the end of the program. We will also cover the installation and configuration of Eclipse, setting up your development environment for building a robust Selenium test framework from scratch.

Maven - Build Management Tool

In this module, we will explore the TestNG testing framework and its powerful features that simplify and enhance test automation. We will cover everything from basic test execution to advanced topics like annotations, parameterization, and running tests in parallel. You will also learn how to generate detailed test reports and use various techniques to control and optimize the execution of your test suite.

Jenkins- Continiuous Integration Tool

In this module, we will delve into Maven, a powerful build management tool, and explore its role in managing and automating project configurations. We will cover everything from setting up Maven to creating projects and configuring the pom.xml file. You will also learn how to integrate TestNG with Maven, manage dependencies effectively, and set up multiple automation profiles to streamline your testing processes.

ANT- Build Management Tool

In this module, we will cover the fundamentals of the ANT build management tool, focusing on its role in automating tasks within a test framework. You will learn how to install and configure ANT, understand the build.xml file, and use different ANT commands to trigger and control framework operations. We will also explore how ANT compares to other tools like Maven, providing a comprehensive view of its capabilities and applications.

Page object Design Patterns

In this module, we will delve into the Page Object design pattern, a crucial concept for creating maintainable and scalable test automation frameworks. You will learn how to create object repositories, develop page object classes, and use these classes effectively within test cases. We will also cover advanced topics such as dynamic environment variables and live examples to solidify your understanding of this pattern.

Selenium Grid -Cross Browser Testing

In this module, we will explore Selenium Grid and its use in performing cross-browser testing. You will learn how to configure the Selenium Grid architecture, set up hubs and nodes, and register nodes with the hub server. We will also cover the implementation of desired capabilities and the execution of Selenium scripts on remote machines, enabling you to test your applications across different browsers and environments effectively.

Java OOPS Basics for Framework Design

In this module, we will cover the essential Java OOP concepts that are critical for designing an efficient test automation framework. You will learn the theory and practical application of interfaces, inheritance, and polymorphism, and understand how these principles can be applied to create flexible and scalable test frameworks. We will also reinforce coding fundamentals through practical exercises to strengthen your Java skills for framework development.
