Working with Selenium | Selenium Web Testing

This course uses Selenium 2 and the WebDriver interface to design and implement tests. The student will work with a sample Web Application that requires several testing scenarios. This class features extensive labs with a goal of at least 50% of class time spent hands-on. This course includes Survival Skills Java for testers, which provides just enough Java to allow testers to begin managing tests.
