Agile Testing Automation Workshop
Lean & Agile
3 Full Days
Course description
This is a hands-on testing workshop. It is assumed that you have attended a fundamentals class in Agile Testing which focuses on testing strategy, approach, and being a tester on a self-organizing team. This class digs in, and is focused on the actual automation.
We will practice several forms of automation, including driving the application through the UI for desktop / web / mobile applications as well as writing API tests and data setup. We will take a look at automating scenarios, communicating with the rest of the team, and different approaches such as Golden Master / Approval testing.
We will also discuss and practice the roles of a tester in preparing for definition of ready and being part of the definition of done as well as the controversial idea of having developers responsible for the automation of tests instead of testers.
Target audience
This workshop will be most relevant for Agile testers or aspiring agile testers with a passion for collaboration and software quality along with a desire to learn and practice agile testing automation techniques. Relevant roles include Testers, Test Managers, Analysts, and Developers with an interest in testing.
Course requirements
Proficiency in at least one programming language (Java, C#, JavaScript, Python...etc.)
Online Training Requirements
In case the scheduled class is a virtual one, and in order to have a smooth experience over the whole span of the workshop, you will need to have an adequate internet connection (normal household broadband will be fine, or 4G mobile connection). All links of tools and online apps will be shared with participants after their registration in a welcome email to prepare for the class in advance. All participants are required to have a camera on their laptops so all attendees will see each other for better interaction and contribution during the session.
The virtual classroom will be fully interactive, imitating the whole practices included in the original classroom, and fully covering the program objectives.
