About this course
A practical, framework-first Selenium course for Indian QA job seekers and working testers. You start with the Java a tester actually needs, then build a complete Selenium 4 + TestNG hybrid framework step by step on SauceDemo and the-internet, adding data-driven tests, Selenium Grid on Docker, reports and CI. You finish by publishing a capstone framework for automationexercise.com that you can show recruiters and explain in interviews.
What you will be able to do
- Write robust CSS, XPath and relative locators and validate them in DevTools before coding
- Automate real UI flows with explicit waits, alerts, frames, windows and Actions - without Thread.sleep
- Organise suites with TestNG groups, DataProviders, soft assertions, listeners and parallel execution
- Build a PageFactory-free Page Object Model framework with DriverFactory, BasePage, BaseTest and config overrides
- Drive tests from Excel and JSON and run them cross-browser on a Dockerised Selenium Grid 4
- Produce Extent reports with failure screenshots, Log4j2 logs and controlled retries
- Run the suite headless in GitHub Actions and Jenkins and publish reports as artifacts
- Publish a portfolio-grade hybrid framework on GitHub and explain it confidently in interviews

-
🔒
7. Data-Driven Testing (Excel & JSON), Cross-Browser Runs & Selenium Grid 4 on Docker Feed tests from Excel with Apache POI and JSON with Jackson, run them cross-browser in parallel, and execute remotely on a Dockerised Selenium Grid 4.
-
🔒
8. Reporting & Debugging: Extent/Allure Reports, Screenshots, Log4j2 & Retry Analyzer Produce shareable Extent reports with failure screenshots, add Log4j2 logging, and re-run flaky failures safely with a TestNG retry analyzer.
-
🔒
9. CI/CD: Headless Runs with Maven, GitHub Actions & Jenkins Run the framework headless from the command line with Maven profiles and properties, then automate it in GitHub Actions and a parameterised Jenkins pipeline with published reports.
-
🔒
10. Capstone Project: Hybrid Selenium Framework for automationexercise.com Design, build and publish a production-style hybrid Selenium framework covering 12+ e-commerce scenarios on automationexercise.com, with Grid, reports and GitHub Actions CI.
