Automation Testing with Java and Selenium

Modern software development demands fast, reliable testing. If you are ready to transition from manual testing or start your career in Quality Assurance, mastering automation is essential. This text-only course provides a foundational understanding of the entire automation pipeline. You will learn the core concepts using Java, then apply those principles to create automated tests for web interfaces, backend APIs, and even basic performance and security checks, integrating your work into a continuous delivery workflow. What you'll learn: * Understand the fundamentals of Java for writing scalable and maintainable test scripts. * Build robust UI test suites using Selenium WebDriver and architectural patterns like the Page Object Model. * Practice automated API testing for REST services using Rest-Assured to validate backend logic. * Configure basic performance testing scenarios using JMeter and foundational security scans with tools like OWASP ZAP. * Implement Continuous Integration (CI) practices by setting up automated test execution using GitHub Actions. * Apply best practices for creating readable test reports and managing dependencies using modern build tools. The course begins with setting up the necessary environment and reviewing Java fundamentals for testing. We then proceed through practical, text-based exercises covering UI automation, API validation, performance, and security testing, concluding with integration into a CI/CD pipeline. This course is designed for absolute beginners in automation testing, manual QA testers looking to upskill, or developers who need to understand modern testing frameworks. No prior automation experience is required, only basic programming familiarity. Start building your automated testing expertise today.
