This is a cookbook packed with code examples and step-by-step instructions to ease your learning curve. This book is intended for software quality assurance/testing professionals, software project managers, or software developers with prior experience in using Selenium and Java for testing web-based applications. This book also provides examples for C#, Python, and Ruby users.
This book is recommended as a must-have for any QA Professional and it is a treasure that will remain with you forever and will be very handy before any interview.
It is an ideal starting point for those who are Manual/Functional testers and want to switch to an Automation role.
For those who do not have much practical exposure to Automation but have managed to clear interviews of the Automation roles, this book will boost up their confidence and put them in a position to perform their new role with much ease.
This book is also very handy for SDET, Senior SDET, QA Architect, and QA Lead Roles as it is a "got to" book to brush up on any concepts in Web Automation using Selenium.
The Concepts taught in this book can be also applied to Other JavaScripts-based frameworks like Cypress, WebdriverIO, Puppeteer, Protractor, etc. as the approach to solving the problem can be the same, only the language will differ.
Test Automation using Selenium WebDriver, is the latest book released on Selenium 2.0 using Java as a programming language. This Selenium book has been designed with the objectives of simplicity and ease of understanding.
After huge success of author Navneesh Garg's first book (Test Automation using Unified Functional Testing) this book follows a similar step by step approach to Install, configure and design automation framework using Selenium WebDriver and it components.
Who is this book for?
This book is recommended both for those who are beginning to learn test automation (using Selenium WebDriver) and for advanced automation users. It follows a unique training based approach instead of a regular text book approach. Using a step by step approach, it guides the students through the exercises using pictorial snapshots.
It includes many practical examples and issues which most of the automation testers encounter in day-to-day automation. These experiences will give you an insight into what challenges you could face with automation in the real world. Practical examples cover how to use most of the features within Selenium WebDriver.
In this book, readers will learn everything they need to know about Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and a framework used for automation testing for BDD.
The book is divided into three sections.
What you will learn
● Understand the fundamentals of Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development.
● Investigate Cucumber's building blocks such as Feature Files and Step Definition Files
Who this book is for
This book is aimed at individuals who have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of Java and are interested in improving their knowledge of the BDD framework.
Part 1 – Java 4 Selenium WebDriver contains valuable information for testers without previous programming knowledge. The book is written with the absolute beginner in mind, so that they may gain a thorough understanding of Java. Important Java concepts are explained in a very simple, insightful, and easy to understand manner through straightforward definitions, explanations, and examples.
Key Features
Learn Selenium from the ground up
Design your own testing framework
Create reusable functionality in your framework
Book Description
Selenium WebDriver is a platform-independent API for automating the testing of both browser and mobile applications. It is also a core technology in many other browser automation tools, APIs, and frameworks. This book will guide you through the WebDriver APIs that are used in automation tests.
Chapter by chapter, we will construct the building blocks of a page object model framework as you learn about the required Java and Selenium methods and terminology.
The book starts with an introduction to the same-origin policy, cross-site scripting dangers, and the Document Object Model (DOM). Moving ahead, we'll learn about XPath, which allows us to select items on a page, and how to design a customized XPath. After that, we will be creating singleton patterns and drivers. Then you will learn about synchronization and handling pop-up windows. You will see how to create a factory for browsers and understand command design patterns applicable to this area.
At the end of the book, we tie all this together by creating a framework and implementing multi-browser testing with Selenium Grid.
What you will learn
Understand what an XPath is and how to design a customized XPath
Learn how to create a Maven project and build
Create a Singleton driver
Get to grips with Jenkins integration
Create a factory for browsers
Implement multi-browser testing with Selenium Grid
Create a sample pop-up window and JavaScript alert
Report using Extent Reports
Who this book is for
This book is for software testers or developers.
This book will take you on a deep dive into integrating functional automation testing with deployment pipelines.
Hands-On Functional Test Automation contains step-by-step lessons that will give you an understanding of how to do functional test automation using Selenium with C# and Python. Also, you will learn how to enhance your test automation development with third-party frameworks. You will configure test clients, run functional tests through Azure DevOps release management, and carry out performance and load-testing to gain a good understanding of how to do cloud-based load testing.
