Welcome!

Do you or your business need to improve or start practicing test automation while developing web or mobile applications? So this course was made for you!

Many think that test automation is about going out recording steps while using an application as a user would, and then just pressing the PLAY button and everything will be automatically tested.

Sorry to say that, but this is not the truth.

Test automation can and should occur across all layers of an application, not just in the graphical user interface, and this story of record and playback does not work. In addition, other practices and tools can help software development teams to work sustainably by maintaining the quality of the software developed from its inception and during its maintenance.

In this course several concepts and techniques of test automation will be presented to deal with different perspectives in different layers of applications.

In this first course we will see:

• Some key concepts regarding software testing and test automation

• Unit Tests

• GUI tests (graphical user interface tests)

• Service / integration tests

• Non-functional tests (performance, load and security)

This first course is a prerequisite to the next ones that will be released, since it deals with fundamental concepts related to software testing and test automation.

Join the Talking About Testing School and be part a select group of professionals that not only know about it, but also apply modern concepts to the development of high-quality applications.
