Overview

Planet Test Automation: First Steps webinar series moves beyond the fundamentals of test automation and dives into the major technologies where test automation is used. The five webinars will cover UI, desktop, mobile, and API test automation.

Each webinar lasts an hour and consists of a 1) theoretical part, 2) a practical part and Demo, and 3) a Q & A session. Post webinar learning reinforcement will occur via a follow up action: each webinar be summarized in a follow-up blog, and followed by a short assignment or a quiz. Participants who wish to get a Certificate of Completion will have to complete all assignments.
