Selenium WebDriver with Java
The industry standard test automation curriculum. Learn Core Java OOP principles, Selenium 4 architecture, TestNG framework structure, Page Object Model design, and Maven build pipelines.
12-Week Module Plan
Software Testing Fundamentals & Manual Concepts
Quality assurance principles, verification vs validation, test scenarios, test execution tracking, and where automation provides enterprise ROI.
Core Java Fundamentals for Test Automation
JVM, JDK setup, IntelliJ/Eclipse, primitive data types, control flow statements, arrays, and writing clean executable methods.
OOP Concepts, Collections & Exception Handling
Classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, abstraction, List/Set/Map collections, and robust try-catch-finally handling.
Selenium WebDriver 4 Setup & Locator Mastery
WebDriver architecture, browser drivers, driver initialization, XPath syntax (absolute vs relative, axes), and CSS selectors.
Web Elements, Synchronization & Explicit Waits
Click, sendKeys, clear, getText, implicit waits, WebDriverWait with ExpectedConditions, and FluentWait for asynchronous elements.
Alerts, Frames, Windows & JavaScriptExecutor
Switching window handles, handling JavaScript alert popups, nested frames, mouse actions with Actions class, and JavaScriptExecutor scrolling.
TestNG Testing Framework & Assertions
TestNG annotations (@Test, @BeforeMethod, etc.), assertions (Hard vs Soft), grouping, testng.xml suites, and parallel execution.
Page Object Model (POM) & PageFactory Design
Designing enterprise POM classes, separating locators from test logic, BaseClass patterns, and creating resilient test methods.
Data-Driven Testing with Apache POI
Reading test parameters from Excel files, Apache POI integration, @DataProvider annotations in TestNG, and properties file configuration.
Maven Build Automation & ExtentReports
Maven pom.xml dependency management, surefire plugin configuration, automatic screenshot capture on failure, and rich ExtentReports HTML logs.
Git Version Control & CI/CD Fundamentals
Git commands (clone, branch, commit, push), resolving merge conflicts, and triggering automated headless test runs on GitHub Actions / Jenkins.
Framework Implementation & Interview Preparation
End-to-end e-commerce automation project, framework structuring review, live code walkthroughs, frequently asked Java automation interview topics.
