Overview

Embark on an advanced journey in Selenium WebDriver with this detailed course, designed to transform your automation skills. Starting with a solid introduction to frameworks and the Page Object Model, you'll quickly progress to setting up your development environment using IntelliJ and Maven. Understand the critical reasons behind using frameworks by exploring real test scenarios and their limitations without structured frameworks. Dive deep into creating your first test and page classes, mastering the concepts of returning page objects, and adding multiple test methods to your framework. Explore advanced topics like implementing custom drivers, utilizing the WebDriver Factory Pattern, and integrating utilities for enhanced functionality. Learn the importance of the BaseTest and BasePage classes and how they streamline your test execution. Enhance your frameworks with data-driven testing by managing test data in Excel, writing custom utilities, and implementing data-driven test methods. Integrate logging with Log4j2 and generate advanced reports using Extent Reports. Additionally, the course covers version control using Git and GitHub, emphasizing the importance of branches and resolving merge conflicts. This course is ideal for intermediate to advanced Selenium WebDriver users, automation testers, and QA engineers looking to deepen their understanding of building robust automation frameworks. Basic knowledge of Selenium and Java is recommended.

Syllabus

Introduction

In this module, we will introduce you to the course, covering what you'll learn, the importance of microservices, and the necessary prerequisites. You’ll also get to know your instructor.

Framework Introduction

In this module, we will delve into the basics of frameworks, particularly focusing on what a framework is and explaining the Page Object Model.

Environment and Project Setup

In this module, we will guide you through the setup of your development environment, including IntelliJ installation, Maven project setup, and practicing framework content, alongside introducing Selenium 4 syntax.

Reasons Why Framework Is Needed

In this module, we will explore the necessity of frameworks by understanding test scenarios and highlighting the issues faced in test cases without a framework.

Page Object Concepts and First Test Class

In this module, we will introduce Page Object concepts, explain real test scenarios, and guide you through implementing your first test class, including adding test methods.

Implementing First Page Class

In this module, we will focus on implementing your first-page class, completing practical exercises, and comparing framework-based and non-framework-based test classes, alongside learning code refactoring techniques.

Returning Page Objects

In this module, we will demonstrate how to return page objects in your framework and provide exercises to practice these concepts.

How to Add Multiple Test Methods

In this module, we will cover the addition of multiple test methods to a class, how to add and refactor page classes, and techniques to remove test dependencies.

Adding Multiple Test Classes to Framework

In this module, we will guide you through the process of adding multiple test classes to your framework and how to run them efficiently.

Introduction to Base Classes

In this module, we will introduce you to base classes, including BaseTest and BasePage, and explain their importance in the framework.

Introduction to Util Concept

In this module, we will cover the concept of Util classes, how to complete and integrate them into your framework for enhanced functionality.

Custom Driver Concept

In this module, we will introduce the concept of custom drivers, guide you through their implementation, and show you how to use them effectively in your framework.

WebDriver Factory Pattern

In this module, we will focus on the implementation of the WebDriver factory, setting driver paths and browser options, and running automation tests across various browsers.

Checkpoint Concept

In this module, we will introduce the checkpoint concept, demonstrate its implementation, and explain how to utilize it in your test methods.

Constants Class Concepts

In this module, we will explain the implementation of a constants class and explore various use cases to optimize your test framework.

Data-Driven Testing

In this module, we will cover the principles of data-driven testing, managing test data in Excel, and writing custom utilities and test methods.

Adding Logging to Framework

In this module, we will demonstrate the setup and configuration of Log4j2, and how to integrate it into your testing framework for effective logging.

Advanced Reporting Integration to Framework

In this module, we will cover advanced reporting concepts, including the setup and implementation of Extent Reports, TestListeners, and how to attach screenshots in your reports.

Git and GitHub – Version Control System

In this module, we will introduce you to Git and GitHub, demonstrate installations, and cover essential version control tasks, including repository creation, branch management, conflict resolution, and project check-ins.

Continuous Integration with Jenkins

In this module, we will explore the features of Jenkins, demonstrate its setup and security measures on different operating systems, configure it, manage plugins, and build projects using Jenkins integrated with GitHub.
