Learn how to design a test automation framework for automating web-based applications.

Test Automation

Testing the user interface for any application is generally time-consuming when done for each new release. UI test automation is the most common and effective way to simulate the actual user journey and business use cases for any application.

In this module, we’ll learn to design a test automation framework from scratch to automate any web-based application using Java, Selenium, and TestNG. We’ll start by learning the basics of Selenium and TestNG and then learn about build management, logging, and reporting, all of which are key concepts for any QA engineer or developer. By the end of this module, we will successfully create a UI test automation framework.

Design a Test Automation Framework with Selenium and Java

Congratulations, you have completed the "Design a Test Automation Framework with Selenium and Java" module!

## Summary

In this module, we learned the basic concepts of WebDriver. We also learned how the Selenium WebDriver behaves with JavaScript events and HTML components. Moreover, we discussed some basic concepts of test automation and designing a UI test automation framework. We practiced the step-by-step guide to designing a reliable test framework. We learned how to design a test automation framework using TestNG. In the end, we successfully created a UI test automation framework.

## What's next?

Now that we’ve learned to create test automation frameworks for web-based applications, we are ready to design a test automation framework for mobile applications in our second module, “Mobile Test Automation with Appium.”
