Video description

This course is designed to guide you through Selenium WebDriver and Java, right from the basic to the advanced aspects. If you do not have prior knowledge of Java, you can start with the Java modules, which comprise the first few sections of the course. You can then start exploring the Selenium WebDriver videos after you have developed some fluency in Java. Remember, you do not need to go through all the sections in Java before starting with Selenium WebDriver, especially if you are already familiar with Java. The first six sections of Java should be sufficient to get you ready to learn Selenium WebDriver.

As you go through the sections, you will get to grips with developing an automation framework using Page Object Model and Page Factory. Further on, the course will show you how to locate elements using CSS selectors. Later, you will build on your knowledge by working with the file system in Java. All along, the course follows an example-oriented approach, helping you learn through various real-time scenarios that are used to elaborate Java and Selenium WebDriver concepts.

By the end of this course, you will be well-versed with Selenium WebDriver and Java and be able to apply the knowledge that you have gained in the real world.

What You Will Learn

  • Get to grips with Selenium WebDriver programming
  • Understand how to locate elements using CSS selectors
  • Learn data structures in Java
  • Explore Java programming through practical sessions
