automation testing - essentials

Anyone who will be actively involved in automated testing including Testers, Developers and Project Managers. Please note that this is not a tool specific nor is it a detailed scripting skills workshop. The tools used will vary and will not be specific.

  • Testing fundamentals , Basic programming language skill

Automation Testing Essentials Training course helps in providing considerable knowledge in the Concepts & Principles of Software Test Automation.

GUI Automation Testing is a leap forward in modern applications, and it can dramatically improve software quality while cutting testing costs and complexity even in the most rapidly changing environments. And with its integration with HP Application Lifecycle Management, it significantly enhances developer and tester productivity and collaboration.
