Course Overview
In this course, Manual and Automation Testing with Python and Java, an attempt is made to merge comprehensive testing skills into participants, a mix of basic concepts in manual testing with advanced automation. Major concepts relating to testing, practical test management, hands-on experience in the use of automation tools for a dynamic career in Software Quality Assurance are covered.
Course Contents
Introduction to Software Testing
Start with the basics of software testing: delve into the ‘what and why’ of testing, benefits involved, along with its scope in SDLC. You will come to know about both manual and automated testing, along with their placement within the development cycle.
Manual Testing Fundamentals
Learn major concepts of manual testing: test case design and execution, defect reporting, communicating to development teams. Real-life scenarios are highlighted in this section that will help you understand how manual testing fits in to identify software issues before automation.
Test Management Tools
Familiarize yourself with the most common test management tools, like JIRA and TestRail. This module will walk you through documenting test cases, tracking test progress, managing test execution, and effective defect management.
Getting Started with Automation
Learn to transition to Automation and the basics of test automation-what and when to Automate and how much planning a good automation strategy requires. Get an introduction to the most used Automation tools and frameworks.
Automation using Python
Learn Automation with Python using Selenium WebDriver and PyTest, along with some other popular frameworks. Writing test scripts, run automation tests, mastering common issues, and maintenance over the long run.
Automation with Java
Learn how to automate with Java by setting up a Java environment and using Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, and TestNG. By the end of this module, students can expect to learn how to create scripts, integrate tests into build tools, and run tests as part of continuous integration.
Advanced Automation Topics
Beyond the basic Automation Testing, advanced concepts on Data-Driven and Keyword-Driven Testing; BDD using Cucumber, along with Automation Design Patterns and Best Practices, could be targeted for scalable and maintainable test automation.
Performance and Load Testing
Understand performance and load testing principles with tools like JMeter. Master simulating different types of loads on your application, measure its performance metrics, and find bottlenecks to improve overall application efficiency.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Testing
Learn how to integrate automated testing into the modern continuous integration/continuous deployment pipeline. Learn using industry-standard tools like Jenkins on how to integrate automated tests into a continuous integration process to provide fast feedback and higher quality software.
Capstone Project
Now apply your knowledge in this capstone project, where you will design and execute a comprehensive testing strategy. This will include the creation of manual test cases, developing automation scripts either in Python or Java along with performance testing. This way, you can demonstrate your end-to-end test capability.
