1. Introduction to Automation Testing

In this section, we will get an introduction to automation testing, both conceptually and practically. The application which we will be working on throughout this course will be briefly explored in order to familiarize ourselves with the work environment, and set the momentum for the rest of the course.

What is Automation Testing?

JavaScript in Automation Testing

Setting Up & Reviewing our Application

Introduction to Unit Testing

Pros & Cons of Automation Testing

2. Using a Test Automation Framework

In this section, we will learn what Test Automation Frameworks are, why they are necessary, and how to use them. Most programming languages have Test Automation Frameworks, however, we will be using JavaScript to learn about one of the popular JavaScript Test Automation Framework known as Jest. Most of the concepts explored in this section will be transferable to other programming languages and frameworks.

3. Browser Automation with Selenium

In this section, we will learn how to perform more complicated tests in an automated manner, by automating the browser. This includes, automating user operations like visiting the website, inputting data into the fields and interacting with elements.

4. Intro to Intermediate Automation Testing

In this section, we will briefly explore some intermediate Automation Testing concepts like API testing using Jest and Axios, and setting up a CD/CI pipeline to streamline the whole testing process.

Summary

Here we have some code from the previous chapter.

As a quick recall, this code configures the browser with the following options and launches a new instance of it. However it doesn't go to any specific URL.

There are two different ways of navigating to a URL. The first method is by using the get method, which simply searches for the specified URL and displays the page.

The other method is to use the navigate method.

The navigate method provides a few more options as well. It lets us go to the previous and the next pages using next and back methods.

Moreover, it also provides a method called refresh for refreshing the page.

The refresh() method can be fairly useful in the context of testing.

Everything was clear?

Thanks for your feedback!
