Test Automation with Python, Selenium, Git, and Jenkins

Selenium is most widely used test automation tool for web applications. Test Automation has a key role in overall DevOps implementation.

Industry now demands that QA/testers have good understanding of programming. The role in demand now is SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test).

There are no pre-requisite for this course. We start from very basics of programming and make you learn core Python. We will also cover all aspects of Selenium from basics to advance.

One cannot be a developer without knowing how to maintain source code. We will cover Git/GitHub.

DevOps is the need for most of the organizations. We will teach you how to create pipeline in Jenkins.

At the end, we will give you a project which you need to complete with automation framework.

All our trainers are having minimum 10 years of experience in test automation. Click here to register for a demo session and our team will be happy to help.

Every session we conduct is a combination of theory and hands-on

All sessions are recorded which participants can keep with them for life time.

Who can attend

Engineering graduates | Working professionals – manual Testers | Developers
