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

In the below video example, the following scenario has been automated:

1. Open google.com.
2. Search educative.
3. In the search results, click next page.

The automated tests use a custom page object model for writing the tests and Gradle for build management.


In this lesson, we will learn to write a simple UI test automation script using Selenium WebDriver and custom page objects.
