Learn the Basics of Automation: Selenium

FYI:

This video only gives you an overview for just making you familiar with the terms and the tools used. I have uploaded only the first section of this course which only focuses more on Selenium. Cucumber, TestNG, Rest Assured API testing, Java e-learning section is yet to be uploaded. This and all the other sections will be free for a limited period of time. If you have any suggestions or doubts you can mail me on 'varsha.hindupur@gmail.com'.

Have a great time learning!

FYI:

* JDK link for download:

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk14-downloads.html

* Eclipse Download:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2020-06/r/eclipse-ide-java-developers

* Add to Path System Variable : %JAVA_HOME%\bin

* Command Prompt/cmd Windows OS command: javac -version or use javac

Lastly, My experience says: Installation if not correctly done may become a tedious job. So, if you are not willing to make it a TEDIOUS job carefully listen to instructions given in the video and follow it.

You should know: (FYI)

Eclipse is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that means a coding environment supporting multiple coding languages like Python too . Also, Eclipse version names are alphabetically arranged so you can understand which is the latest and which is the older version.

Example: Neon, Oxygen, Photon and later changed to year wise version naming schema.

Refer to know more about Eclipse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse (software application)

FYI:

I have added another link for TestNG or any other plugin to be downloaded ( http //beust.com/eclipse/ ) people using older versions of Eclipse. These links get expired more often but they don't expire till 1-2 years approximately.

if you are willing to work on older eclipse versions like Oxygen please don't and also I recommend you not to download any other lower versions since most of the work that i am showing here are compatible with latest versions and not to lose track with what i am Teaching!.

Here is the link for you to install TestNG and Eclipse:

TestNG - https://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-eclipse-release/

Cucumber - http://cucumber.github.com/cucumber-eclipse/update-site

FYI:

Target folder is the place where Maven puts all the output content related to your project build into it. It also creates reports all by itself for you. But here we are not going to use it.

Refer the link to Apache Softwares website where entire maven description is shared along with the rules.

-> https://maven.apache.org/

P.S. I have not shown how to add jars for these codes so please watch the next video on how to do it. As this video is required for understanding the backend process and that’s what is the aim behind creating this video.

FYI:

Old fashion way to create script is useful mainly for 3 reasons.

1. You gain knowledge on what is actually happening at the back-end( what happens when script executes which is unseen)

2. It is an expected topic asked by Interviewers

3. A different approach of writing one liner code to create driver object can inspire you to create solutions to various coding hassles, provided you have any ideas to implement.

Now, isn't it useful?

FYI:

Any development environment be Eclipse or Visual Studio, set up forms an important part to make the coding process easier.
