Java Selenium
🧭 Selenium Automation with Java
This Java Automation course is crafted for experienced QA professionals, test automation engineers, and SDETs who want to go deeper into the design, structure, and scalability of test automation systems.
You’ll gain deep expertise in Core Java, Selenium WebDriver, REST Assured, and JUnit, with a strong focus on building robust, reusable, and maintainable automation frameworks for UI and API testing.
You will also learn how to plan for modular automation, manage test data, structure your codebase, and apply best practices to ensure high-quality and efficient testing.
