Presentation
Advanced test automation is essential to ensuring the quality and reliability of modern software. It supports the design and implementation of complex automated testing strategies using advanced tools and techniques. This approach is particularly suited to large projects, critical applications and Agile development environments.
This 8-day course develops comprehensive advanced test automation expertise. Master widely used tools and techniques, including Selenium, Cucumber, Rest Assured and Jenkins. Learn to design and implement effective automated testing strategies, from UI test automation to continuous integration and continuous deployment.
Throughout the course, extensive practical work, real case studies and multiple-choice quizzes consolidate your understanding and mastery of the concepts. Exercises let you apply techniques directly, while case studies provide opportunities to solve complex problems in realistic environments. Quizzes help you assess progress and identify areas needing further attention.
