Certified Selenium Tester Foundation

The Certified Selenium Tester Foundation Level offers a practical training course aimed at test professionals who desire a basic understanding of Selenium WebDriver for creating web application tests.; upon successful completion, participants will be able to create and run Selenium WebDriver tests without supervision. Participants in the course will learn about factors to consider when deciding to automate testing as well as specific techniques for navigation, interacting with GUI elements, logging, reporting, and more.

“Selenium is the lead technology in test automation and automated testing continues to be a major transformational factor in software development. The A4Q Selenium Tester certification offers significant value to organizations seeking to develop, and recruit, individuals with Selenium Webdriver skills” says GASQ General Manager Werner Henschelchen

Exam (optional)

This certification is ideal for automators and those who want to learn automation using the Selenium WebDriver toolset. While this course is accessible to anyone wanting to acquire a basic, hands-on knowledge of Selenium, the main audiences are:

• People with no test automation experience who are starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
• People with some GUI test automation experience who are new to Selenium or starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
• People with some non-GUI test automation experience who are new to Selenium and starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)

Attendees should have general knowledge of basic programming and some knowledge of Python.
