Selenium 2 WebDriver Basics With Java

Selenium WebDriver is the web automation tool of the moment. Selenium WebDriver skills are in demand. And when you understand the Selenium WebDriver usage patterns that this course teaches, then you can increase your automation effectiveness.

An easy way to learn an automated test tool is by learning from someone who knows how to use it. And that is what we do on this course.

Alan has been working with Selenium since 2007, and WebDriver since 2010. Over the years he has helped his staff learn Selenium using the methods in this course: discussing the theory, showing examples, hands on work, then critique and code reviews of worked examples.

In this course you will learn real world techniques associated with the Selenium WebDriver API based on experience of using Selenium WebDriver to automate production web sites.

We have taken the material for a 3 days course and created hours of video instruction. Udemy calculate it at over 18 hours. It should take you at least 6 hours of self learning to do the exercises. (some students have reported the exercises taking longer, it depends on your experience.)

This course focuses on the information you need to get productive with Selenium WebDriver. We don't spend any time on the Selenium IDE, because you won't use that in a production environment. We don't spend any time on padding covering the architecture of Selenium WebDriver because you can find that information on the Web, and you don't need to know it, to get productive.

Throughout the course we stress, and demonstrate, self learning strategies so that you don't just learn the Selenium WebDriver API in depth, you also learn how to discover more on your own.

Make sure to take our free course first, as this will set you up with the basic prerequisites for this course and you get a feel for our teaching style:

View the outline, and the free lectures, and make up your own mind how well this course fits your learning needs and style.

As well as the lectures, and the exercises, we also have over 200 slides to aid your self study, and 4500 lines of code to study (calculated using MetricsReloaded).

As you work through the course, we value your feedback, so if you want additional explanation, or have your question answered then ask in the comments and we will answer, and probably create a new video to add to the course.

Thanks for reading this far.
