Overview

As web applications grow in size it becomes difficult to reliably and thoroughly verify that the application behaves as intended. Manually stepping through the system gets tedious and time consuming. That's where automated testing tools become invaluable. In this course we will learn to use Selenium WebDriver, one of the most popular utilities for automating interactions with web browsers, to build automated tests for the purpose of verifying and maintaining a quality application.

What you'll learn

  • Selenium through the ages
  • Basic Usage of Selenium
  • CSS and XPATH with Selenium WebDriver
