Automated Testing in C# .NET: Selenium, xUnit, and Docker

Software testing has evolved far beyond simple script writing. To deliver reliable applications today, you need to understand how to build maintainable test automation frameworks that fit into modern development workflows. This text-based course guides you through the process of designing and implementing professional-grade automation frameworks using C# and the .NET ecosystem. You will transition from writing basic scripts to structuring robust, scalable test suites that handle UI testing, integration testing, and database verification, even when applications run inside containerized environments. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of test automation and modern .NET testing architecture. - Build a maintainable UI testing framework using Selenium, xUnit, and the Page Object Model. - Apply dependency injection patterns to keep your test code clean, decoupled, and reusable. - Configure integration tests for web APIs using WebApplicationFactory to isolate and verify application behavior. - Manage test data and assertions effectively using tools like AutoFixture and FluentAssertions. - Test containerized applications running in Docker, simulating real-world deployment challenges. You will start with the fundamental concepts of test automation and C# testing libraries before gradually building up to advanced patterns. Through clear written explanations and structured code examples, you will explore how UI automation, API integration testing, and containerized environments work together seamlessly. This course is designed for quality assurance engineers, software developers, and beginners looking to transition into automated testing. A basic understanding of C# programming is helpful, but no prior test automation experience is required. Start reading today to elevate your testing skills and build frameworks that stand the test of time.
