The LSET Software Automation Testing course equips you with the latest testing techniques and tools. You will learn black-box and white-box testing, automated testing, web and mobile testing, and formal testing theory.

The Software Automation Testing course covers Selenium IDE, RC, WebDriver, and Data-Driven Testing. You will learn to implement automation testing frameworks, create test plans and suites, and generate test analysis reports. Additionally, you will develop code properties and assertions to automate test generation and establish pre-conditions for method correctness.

Starting with fundamental software testing principles and processes, you will progress to creating and running test cases with automated tools. You’ll gain practical experience in black-box and white-box testing, developing test suites to identify software defects. By the course’s end, you will understand testability requirements and acquire skills in automated testing and fault detection.

Technologies Covered

Selenium Automation Tool: Selenium is a popular open-source automated testing suite for web applications across different browsers and platforms. It provides a single interface that allows writing test scripts in various programming languages like Ruby, Java, NodeJS, PHP, Perl, Python, and C#, among others.

It comes with Selenium WebDriver, also known as Selenium 2.0, which executes test scripts through browser-specific drivers. It consists of API, Library, Driver, and Framework.

Cucumber: Cucumber is an open-source Software Automation Testing tool that allows us to run automated acceptance tests in a behaviour-driven development (BDD) style. Cucumber reads the specifications written in plain English text files called feature files.

It scans them for test scenarios and runs those scenarios against the software we want to test. The feature files must follow a set of rules called Gherkin. Gherkin is a business-readable, domain-specific language that you use to provide test steps and expected outcomes to Cucumber.

JUnit: JUnit is a unit testing framework for the Java programming language widely used for test-driven development. JUnit is used to write and run repeatable automated tests.

Cypress: A next-generation front-end software automation testing tool for the modern web. When testing modern applications, developers and quality assurance engineers experience a number of pain points.

It is most often compared to Selenium, but Cypress differs fundamentally and architecturally from Selenium. Cypress is not subject to the same restrictions as Selenium. You will be able to write tests faster, easier, and more reliably as a result.

Why learn Software Automated Testing?

Time and Money saving over Manual Testing

In the Agile development world, software source code gets modified quite frequently. This forces the software testers to run the tests repeatedly, resulting in increased spending on resources and increased chances of errors. Automated software testing can reduce the time to run repetitive tests from days to hours. Time-saving translates directly into cost savings and makes the software more reliable.

Increases Software Test Coverage

Automated tests can be configured to test every element of the software. It can look inside an application and see memory contents, data tables, file contents, and internal program states to determine if the product is behaving as expected. It can help execute thousands of complex test cases during every test run. This is not possible with manual tests.

Improves Accuracy

Manual tests are prone to bugs skipping production due to human error. Testers may make mistakes which results in lower quality software. Automated testing overcomes this problem by executing every step consistently.

Simulate Real World Scenario

It is not possible to create production scenarios for manual testing. However, Automated testing, on the other hand, can simulate tens, hundreds or thousands of virtual users interacting with a network, software and web applications.

Improves Communication between Developers and Testers

Developers can use automated tests to catch problems quickly before sending them to QA. Developers can schedule the tests to be run automatically whenever the source code changes and notify the team if the tests fail.

Who Should Attend this course?

  • Manual testers who would like to learn automation
  • A beginner who is looking for a job in software testing

Different types of software tests that can be automated

Unit Testing: Unit test is the way of testing the smallest piece of code that can be logically isolated in a system, also known as units.

Functional Testing: Functional Testing validates the software system against the functional requirements or specifications.

Regression Testing: Regression testing is the process of re-running functional and non-functional tests to confirm that the software performs as expected after a change is made.

Black Box Testing: Black-box testing is a software testing method to check an application’s functionality without getting into the internal structures or workings of the system.

Integration Testing: Integration testing is a method to test all system modules as a group.

Keyword Driven Testing: Keyword Driven Testing is a scripting technique which uses data files to contain the keywords related to the application being tested.

Data Driven Testing: Data-Driven Testing is a method in which testing is done on the data stored in table or spreadsheet format.

Smoke Testing: Smoke Testing is a method to ensure the deployed software build is stable.
