Selenium WebDriver 4, Cucumber BDD, Java & More!

About Selenium WebDriver 4, Cucumber BDD, Java & More!

This course has helped students become automation test engineers (check our the course reviews).

This course will teach you automation testing using Selenium WebDriver 4, Java, Cucumber BDD (Latest Version: 'io.cucumber'), TestNG, Jenkins and Apache Maven to develop a real world, functioning framework for

real world, enterprise environments

. This is different to most courses, as we focus on frameworks that actually provide skills for the real world.

Why Learn Automation Testing?

Automation testing has been steadily grown in popularity these past few years thanks to the time/ cost savings and efficiency that it offers. Companies throughout the world have or plan to use automation testing to rapidly speed up their test capabilities. Automation test engineers are in great demand and offer an

average salary of £45,000+

(2021, 2022). Now is a great time to learn about automation test engineering and this course has been carefully developed to slowly introduce you from the basics, all the way to building advanced frameworks. This course introduces you to some of the most

in demand

automation test tools currently being used by automation testers throughout the world. I teach you from the very beginning and slowly build up to demonstrate the advance capabilities they offer. All this is taught using practical examples that I explain and you can follow.

I have personally taught countless teams

to learn about automation testing in the workplace. In fact this is part of my job. I know what works when it comes to teaching new people about automation testing and I have developed this course by keeping this in mind.

So, why should you learn cucumber BDD?

Cucumber (BDD) simplifies the requirement capturing process. Requirements can be captured, broken down and simplified effortlessly; making the captured requirements readable to anyone within the organisation and in turn providing the required details and backbone to develop accurate test cases also known as ‘Feature Files’.

Cucumber (BDD) simplifies the process of developing automation test scripts! Students enrolled within this course will see why!

Students will learn Cucumber BDD from a beginner’s level all the way to obtaining the knowledge to develop advanced sophisticated Cucumber BDD framework(s) of their own.

Cucumber is one of the BDD frameworks which is in very high demand

Search online for many automation testing roles and you will likely see BDD, Cucumber as a mandatory requirement!

Why choose this course?

I have also been responsible for teaching countless students/colleagues and have refined this course so that students get the very best from my teaching material. By completing this course; I ensure you'll have all the knowledge you need to become an automation test engineer

(and some students already have!)

Students that choose to enrol will get the following:

A course that explains every step clearly and in detail.

Gain knowledge on some of the most popular and in-demand automation test tools that employers ask for in job descriptions.

A course that is structured in a way which will enable anyone with basic of knowledge of Java and Selenium WebDriver to create basic to advanced Cucumber tests and even develop sophisticated Cucumber framework(s) from scratch.

Gain knowledge to develop and schedule your tests using Jenkins (Continuous integration).

You will also create and run tests against real world websites.

Be given access to webdriveruniversity (a website that I developed) so you can practice you test automation skills using the knowledge gained form this course.

What will I learn?

The following topics are covered in this course. These topics have been specifically tailored to demonstrate and teach you the most important areas of automation testing. This is taught to you using a practical approach and you will see tests (that you have written) testing websites using your very own browser.
