This intensive 3-day course is designed to equip professionals with the essential knowledge and hands-on skills to automate testing of both web and mobile applications. Participants will learn industry-standard tools such as Selenium for web automation and Appium for mobile automation, while exploring best practices in test design, framework structuring, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.
Through a blend of lectures, live demonstrations, and guided hands-on sessions, attendees will gain real-world experience automating UI workflows, writing maintainable scripts, and executing tests across browsers and devices.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will be able to :
- Understand the core principles and ROI of web and mobile test automation.
- Use Selenium WebDriver to automate web applications across different browsers.
- Set up and use Apium to automate testing on Android mobile applications.
- Write reusable and maintainable scripts using Page Object Model (POM).
- Perform form validations, gesture interactions, and UI assertions across platforms.
- Build keyword-driven and data-driven automation frameworks.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions.
- Generate detailed test reports using tools like Allure or ExtentReports.
- Execute automation pipelines from code commit to result visualization.
