Selenium Webdriver Training

This Selenium (latest version 2.0 also known as WebDriver) course goes outside the basics and enables the testing professionals to familiarize with the knowledge to handle challenging and complex web application projects. This course is touched around Selenium 2.0 and the ancillary softwares like Eclipse IDE, Java, JDBC, mySql, tomcat, Ant, JUnit, TestNG and Selenium Grid 2. The course is practical with structured exercises and examples to write reusable automation scripts.

The focus is on the practical application of Selenium WebDriver to resolve common web automated testing challenges using Live Web Applications.
