Course description
WebDriver is the main tool in the Selenium tools suite, with the ability to natively drive a web application in the same way a human user would. This course will give you the basics you need in order to create WebDriver applications. You’ll be learning how to build with the WebDriver libraries, configure WebDriver to talk natively to the different browsers and use the main WebDriver classes to exercise your web applications.
Prerequisites
Selenium supports the following programming languages, Java, C#, Python, Ruby, JavaScript (Node) and other languages using 3rd party plug-ins. The course is taught using Java but the ideas and theories apply to all languages listed. You should have some knowledge and experience programming web applications in the programming languages listed to understand how Selenium works.
