Introduction To Test Automation

Course Overview

Using a mix of classroom presentation, instructor led discussion and individual practical exercises, this course has been designed to provide testers with a good, basic understanding of test automation.

The course covers the following topics:

• What is test automation?

• When to automate and when not to automate.

• Automation approaches including frameworks, platform tools and simple record and replay.

• Demonstration of some of the tools that are available.

• Practical session using a record and replay tool.

Who Is It For?

The Introduction to Test Automation course is principally aimed at test practitioners who would like to understand more about automation tools and techniques before deciding on a test tool and embarking on an automation project.

Entry Requirements

Attendees should have some experience of testing as this is beneficial but not essential.

Delegates will require a laptop and be able to install Chrome as a browser and be able to add browser plug-ins as this course uses either Katalon Recorder or Selenium IDE for the hands-on practice exercises.

Course Objectives

The course objectives are to provide delegates with a good understanding of how to select the most appropriate automation tool then plan, prepare and execute a test automation project.

Should the delegates wish to learn about any of the automation tools in more detail on completion of this introduction, TSG Training have several tool-specific courses available. Details are available from TSG Training on request.
