Description

In my conversations with people who were thinking about test automation carrier several needs kept coming back quite frequently, such as

  1. I am wondering if test automation is something for me.

  2. I am looking for a course with more focus on practical exercises.

  3. I do not have so much time. I need something short and condensed instead of multi-hour waffling on a single example.

I have created this course with hope that it will answer those needs.


Selenium IDE is the best first step in test automation.

Because if you have very basic programming skills or don’t have any, you can successfully complete the course and understand the most important concepts behind test automation.

Unlike most Selenium IDE courses out there you will actually learn how to automate tests on real-life examples.

You will first start by learning the basics of creating a test script and assertion techniques, and the course evolves from there. I use easy to understand examples to simplify even the most difficult concepts.

The course will help you understand:

  • How Software Tester work looks like,

  • What exactly test automation is,

  • Why locators in test automation are so important.


Become an expert in locating elements strategies!

The underlying motivation for the course is to ensure that you'll gain solid skills in locating elements on the web page. 50% of success in automation are good chosen locators. This is universal knowledge that will be useful in other more advanced automation tools, such as Selenium Webdriver.


After taking this course you will be able to easily write automated tests in Selenium IDE along with applying good practices. Also, you will know if working as a Software Tester is for you.


Condensed and practical knowledge about test automation is now available for you.

80% of this course is hands-on practice, but the practice website is no longer being maintained, so there is no way to actually practice the skills.

This will be a tough match for me as it is a long time since I did any coding - and that was not in this sort of language - and a stop/start period with the previous role has splintered training over far too long a period. MORE IMPORTANTLY I am partially-sighted, Registered Blind and I find the use of a cursor pointer that is both small and the dame colour as the background IMPOSSIBLE to follow - given that there is not a full narration of the moves and symbols being activated as the pointer is moved around the screen. Please review the use of cursor and the level of narration for courses that you generate going forwards - and bear in mind there age guidelines and/or laws that need adhered to on this matter. Many Thanks

I liked the content and the way the instructor explained. What I find missing was more context about Selenium IDE, like comparing it vs other automation strategies, advantages, disadvantages, etc. Thanks!

The course itself has basic info and some useful tips for beginners in Selenium IDE, many thanks to the author! I would appreciate it more if it was updated with working site and exercises updated exercises (CURA Healthcare Services site is suspended). Eng pronunciation was confusing for me, so it made me to pause and/or play the video more times.

THE CONTENT IS VERY GOOD AND SHOWS YOU TRICKS NOT LEARNED IN SHORTER COURSES ON SELENIUM. MAYBE IT COULD HAVE MORE EXERCISES WITH SOLUTIONS ON THE USE OF XPATH AND CSS FOT THE STUDENT TO DO. THE PRONOUNCIATION OF ENGLISH IS SOMETIMES CONFUSING AS THE SUBTITLES DON´T MATCH THE SCRIPT, WHAT MADE ME PLAY SOME SECTIONS SEVERAL TIMES.

Muito bem explicado. O recurso 'closed caption' ajuda muito, pois o Instrutor tem um sotaque forte, mas com uma excelente Explicaçao. Não dei 5 estrelas porque eu vi que o conteúdo foi bem raso. Poderia aplicar mais aula

Sessions on Selenium IDE for the Basic of Test Automation was explained better way on the Web Application. If the Installation selenium IDE for the different OS's would have added in the session could be much better and much scripting sessions on basics can be included !! overall, it was good.
