Overview
Automated testing helps organizations achieve higher productivity and reliability. The course covers popular tools and platforms used in test automation, such as, Selenium, Cucumber, HPQC and Jira. The course discusses how participants could improve their development processes and boost reliability by replacing slow, error-prone manual testing with quicker, repeatable automated testing. The course covers how to organize systems and processes to get the most out of automating testing efforts, and improve system reliability by improving test coverage and support deployments across multiple platforms using a single set of reusable tests.
