Introduction to Test Automation Definition : What is Test Automation? Automating manual testing processes to validate applications. Importance : Faster feedback loop Increased test coverage Reusability of test scripts Reducing human error Common Testing Types : UI (User Interface) API (Application Programming Interface) Mobile Testing (Native/Hybrid apps)
UI vs. API Testing UI Testing : Focuses on validating the graphical interface. Ensures buttons, forms, and UI components work as expected. Tools: Selenium, Appium (for mobile UI testing) API Testing : Ensures APIs are functioning as expected. Tests HTTP requests, responses, and status codes. Tool: Rest Assured Why Both Matter : UI tests provide validation from the end-user perspective. API tests validate business logic without needing a UI.
Selenium Overview: Web UI Test Automation What is Selenium? Open-source framework for automating web browsers. Supports multiple programming languages (Java, Python, C#, etc.). Key Components : Selenium WebDriver : Interacts with browsers. Selenium Grid : Parallel test execution on multiple browsers and machines. Benefits : Cross-browser support (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.). Supports headless testing (faster tests).
