Learn Selenium: Build data-driven test frameworks for mobile and web applications with Selenium Web Driver 3

Book Description
Selenium WebDriver 3.x is an open source API for testing both browser and mobile applications. With the help of this book, you can build a solid foundation and can easily perform end-to-end testing on web and mobile browsers.You’ll begin by being introduced to the Selenium Page Object Model for software development. You’ll architect your own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, and support for third-party tools and plugins. You’ll design and build a Selenium grid from scratch to enable the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, and platforms.You’ll strategize and handle a rich web UI using the advanced WebDriver API and learn techniques to handle real-time challenges in WebDriver. You’ll perform different types of testing, such as cross-browser testing, load testing, and mobile testing. Finally, you will also be introduced to data-driven testing, using TestNG to create your own automation framework.By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver.
