Overview
The Working with Selenium course focusses on understanding web page testing needs and how Selenium meets those needs. The course equips participants with the skills necessary for testing web applications for sufficiency. The course uses Selenium and the WebDriver interface to design and implement tests. In this course, participants will be working with sample web applications across several test scenarios, to get hands-on exposure to real-life situations and gain a thorough understanding of the concepts learnt.
