COURSE DESCRIPTION

*Automation testing using Selenium Java *
I. Java Fundamentals
* Core Java Concepts: Data types, variables, operators, control flow statements, loops, arrays, strings, methods, and object-oriented programming (OOP) principles (classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, abstraction).
* Exception Handling: Try-catch blocks, exception types, and custom exceptions.
* Collections Framework: Lists, sets, maps, and their implementations (ArrayList, LinkedList, HashSet, TreeSet, HashMap, TreeMap).
* File Handling: Reading and writing files.
* Generics: Understanding and using generic classes and methods.
II. Introduction to Automation Testing
* What is Automation Testing? Benefits, types of testing, and when to automate.
* Test Automation Frameworks: Overview of popular frameworks (e.g., JUnit, TestNG).
* Setting up the Environment: Installing Java Development Kit (JDK), Integrated Development Environment (IDE) (e.g., Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA), and necessary libraries.
III. Selenium WebDriver
* Introduction to Selenium: Architecture, components, and advantages.
* WebDriver Basics: Setting up WebDriver, browser drivers, and interacting with web elements (locators, actions).
* Locating Elements: Different locators (ID, name, XPath, CSS selectors) and strategies for finding elements.
* Handling Web Elements: Interacting with buttons, text boxes, dropdowns, tables, and other web elements.
* Waits: Implicit and explicit waits to handle synchronization issues.
* Handling Alerts, Pop-ups, and Frames: Working with different types of browser notifications.
* Actions Class: Performing advanced user interactions (mouse movements, keyboard actions, drag and drop).
* JavaScript Executor: Executing JavaScript commands in the browser.
* Taking Screenshots: Capturing screenshots for test results and debugging.
* Cross-Browser Testing: Running tests on different browsers.
IV. Test Automation Frameworks (JUnit/TestNG)
* Setting up JUnit/TestNG: Adding the framework to the project.
* Annotations: Understanding and using annotations (@Test, @Before, @After, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass).
* Assertions: Using assertions to validate test results.
* Test Suites: Grouping and running multiple test cases.
* Reporting: Generating test reports.
V. Page Object Model (POM)
* Design Pattern: Understanding the POM design pattern.
* Page Classes: Creating classes to represent web pages and their elements.
* Test Classes: Writing
