ABOUT THIS COURSE

Selenium WebDriver is a powerful web framework that allows you to execute cross-browser tests. By learning this tool, you can create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, all while scaling and distributing scripts across many different environments. This is a recipe course, meaning you can directly go to the part that interests you. For example, if you are testing a multiple select list and don’t know how, you can look it up in the course roadmap and proceed with that lesson. With over 170 recipes for web application testing, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and practice both beginning and advanced techniques with Selenium WebDriver. By the time you complete this course, you will have a great new skill, and you’ll save tons of time when it comes to automating real user interactions in Firefox, Safari, Edge, Chrome, Internet Explorer and more!

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
