Overview

Embark on a detailed exploration of Java and its integration with advanced tools for Selenium automation. The course begins by demystifying the importance of Maven in framework development, guiding you through its installation, configuration, and usage. You'll delve into Maven's key components, like the POM.xml file and Surefire Plugin, and understand how they streamline your testing processes. The section concludes with an in-depth look at integrating TestNG with Maven and utilizing Maven profiling to manage test suites efficiently. Next, the course takes you through the core principles of Java, with a focus on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Through a series of structured lessons, you'll master loops, interfaces, inheritance, and array handling in Java. This foundational knowledge is further reinforced with practical exercises that simulate real-world challenges, ensuring you gain a solid grasp of Java's capabilities. The course also covers advanced Java topics, such as constructors, the 'this' and 'super' keywords, access modifiers, and exception handling, essential for building robust Selenium frameworks. Finally, the course introduces you to the Collections API, a critical tool for managing and manipulating groups of objects in Java. You'll explore the implementation of ArrayList, HashSet, and Map interfaces, along with practical exercises that prepare you for technical interviews. The course culminates with a module on the Cucumber BDD framework, where you learn how to write clear and effective tests that align with business requirements. As a bonus, the course includes lectures on defect tracking using Bugzilla, enhancing your skills in managing and reporting software defects. This course is designed for software testers, automation engineers, and developers with a basic understanding of Java and Selenium. Prerequisites include familiarity with basic Java syntax and concepts, as well as some experience with Selenium WebDriver.
