Benefit:

With demands to build and test software at every change there’s never been so much pressure on testers to implement effective test automation frameworks. Looking at the implementation of GUI, API and Performance automation tools this course looks at frameworks from the system perspective. Taking the capabilities of popular open source test tools you’ll build an automation framework utalising concepts based around proven Continuous Integration principals.

Objectives:

To take popular open source tools like Selenium, JMeter and SoapUI and build them into an automation framework built at the system level. Implementing these open source tools in Amazons AWS cloud infrastructure with Jenkins controlling the operation, this practical course will show you how to build the automation framework from the ground up.

Building The Test Automation Framework Overview

Pre-requisites:

Attendees need to be familiar with some very basic network concepts (like IP addresses, hostnames, etc). Some familiarity around the concepts of GUI based automation, APIs and performance testing would be helpful. However, this course starts from scratch and builds everything from the ground up. As long as you understand some basic test principals you don’t need to know, or have any experience, of using these tools to attend this course.
