Course Description

Selenium WebDriver is a tool for performing GUI functional testing. It refers to both the language bindings and the implementations of the individual browser controlling code. It supports many coding languages such as C#, Ruby, Java, Python and Java Script.  

In this course, we will cover how to create and run basic Python Selenium tests locally and how to integrate them with BlazeMeter. You will learn how to debug your tests using PyCharm, the leading Python IDE Application. 

We will also show you some best practices for Selenium and PyTest libraries. We will introduce you to Selenium Grid, Selenium Remote WebDriver, and Page Object module (POM) testing architecture. Last but not least, we will demonstrate how to run Selenium Tests in parallel, with BlazeMeter, from implementation to execution.
