Learning outcomes
- Design and build maintainable Selenium framework modules
- Apply Page Object and test-data patterns to create reusable tests
- Run, debug, and troubleshoot tests locally and in remote environments (including Selenium Grid)
Selenium WebDriver Intermediate: Framework Design
A hands-on workshop on building a maintainable Selenium test framework, covering architecture, reusable patterns, reporting, and Selenium Grid execution.
Tooling
Selenium WebDriver (Intermediate) — Test Framework Design
Learning objective
Selenium WebDriver is a free tool used to automate web applications.
This workshop expands your Selenium WebDriver skills and focuses on building a practical, maintainable test framework. You will learn how to optimise your day-to-day work, apply advanced testing techniques, and follow proven best practices for automated test development.
The course is primarily delivered using Java. For closed groups, it can also be delivered using Python, C#, or JavaScript. The training is workshop-based: for each topic, participants implement real framework components.
