This hands-on 2-day course is tailored for professionals seeking to master the automation of websites, web portals, and enterprise platforms. The course introduces core automation concepts, followed by practical experience using widely adopted tools like Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, and Test Automation Frameworks such as TestNG and Robot Framework.
Participants will learn how to identify test objects, handle dynamic elements, perform datadriven testing, and execute automated test cases across browsers. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the skills to build scalable and maintainable automation solutions for modern web applications and portals
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will be able to :
- Understand key automation concepts for websites and web portals.
- Set up and configure automation environments with Selenium WebDriver or Playwright.
- Identify and automate interaction with HTML elements using locators (XPath, CSS, ID).
- Build reusable and maintainable test cases using frameworks like TestNG or Robot Framework.
- Handle real-world scenarios ssuch as popups, dynamic content, and AJAX.
- Implement data-driven testing using Excel or CSV files.
- Automate workflows on enterprise platforms (e.g., HR portals, LMS).
- Compare and apply automation tools (Selenium vs Playwright) based on use case.
- Execute parallel testing and generate visual reports (screenshots, videos).
