Selenium WebDriver - Java

A comprehensive course which covers all the essential principles of using Selenium WebDriver 3 with Java.

This course takes the newcomer to Selenium through all the basic techniques of writing effective automated web tests.

Throughout the course, practical examples are demonstrated, and delegates will be able to practice what they have learnt in each chapter against a web training application.

By the end of the course, delegates should have a thorough understanding of how to develop reliable, robust Selenium web tests using Selenium WebDriver and other tools.
