This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Test Automation with Selenium WebDriver for Java. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
Selenium WebDriver is a trusted, open-source tool that's great for anyone looking to automate web applications. In this course, learn from certified Java developer Angie Jones to master Selenium WebDriver for efficient web testing. Angie guides you through locating and interacting with web elements, managing element states, and implementing effective wait strategies. Also, dive into browser interactions, use of Actions APIs, and the Page Object Model for creating maintainable test frameworks. With hands-on challenges in each chapter, this course ensures you gain practical experience and confidence in automating web tests.
This course is integrated with GitHub Codespaces, an instant cloud developer environment that offers all the functionality of your favorite IDE without the need for any local machine setup. With GitHub Codespaces, you can get hands-on practice from any machine, at any time—all while using a tool that you’ll likely encounter in the workplace. Check out the “Using GitHub Codespaces” video to learn how to get started.
See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
