Selenium WebDriver with Java

Description:

This 1-day training provides a hands-on introduction to Selenium WebDriver with Java, aimed at empowering participants to automate web application testing. The session will begin with setting up the Selenium environment and configuring Java for automation. Participants will learn to navigate web pages, locate web elements using different strategies, and interact with elements such as buttons, text fields, and checkboxes. The training will also cover handling dynamic content, including pop-ups and AJAX elements, and provide techniques for creating robust automated tests. Additionally, attendees will explore integrating Selenium with popular testing frameworks like TestNG, enhancing their ability to build scalable testing solutions. By the end of the day, participants will have the practical skills to implement automation projects using Selenium WebDriver and Java.
