In this course we will discuss all the required things which are needed for us to get started with web app automation , initially we will write selenium tests in plain javascript and execute them using node then slowly we will start using mocha testing framework.
Course Highlights :
it’s pretty straight forward tutorial , we will try to cover all the selenium & latest version i.e 4.0 plus version features , you can expect more content in feature .
Driver management is lot easier with Selenium 4 , we don’t need to rely on webdriver manager anymore .
Explicitly we can open multiple windows, tabs and so on.
Since Selenium 4 uses w3c protocol so no more flaky tests
Actions class improved and couple more improvements.
