Discover The Best All-Round Java Test Automation Framework

Serenity BDD is one of the most popular Java test automation libraries, and for good reason!

Designed and delivered by John Ferguson Smart, the author and lead maintainer of Serenity BDD, this in-depth video training is constantly updated with the latest Serenity BDD features. It will give you a unique insight on how to use Serenity BDD the way it is intended.

If you are writing automated web tests in Java, using Serenity BDD correctly can reduce the amount of code you need to write by well over 50%, slashing the amount of code you need to maintain yourself.

Serenity BDD produces powerful test reports that you can use both as evidence of your testing activities and documentation of your application.

And with over a million downloads a month, regular releases, and a vibrant open source community, it's a solid bet for your test automation framework!

In this course you'll discover:

How to write well-structured automated web tests with Serenity BDD, to maximise reuse and minimise maintenance costs
How to use Page Objects and Action Classes to make your test code more concise and more expressive, so you can write tests faster AND spend less time maintaining them later on;
How to choose effective locator strategies using XPath and CSS, including Serenity BDD's powerful dynamic locators
How to handle waits and asynchronous applications in Serenity BDD, making your tests more stable and robust
How to use data-driven testing with Serenity to get higher coverage and better reporting
How to run tests in parallel and get feedback faster
How to run your Serenity BDD tests remotely on Selenium Grid and services such as SauceLabs and BrowserStack.
How to tailor your Serenity BDD reports, so they tell your stakeholders EXACTLY what they need to know
How to integrate Serenity BDD with JUnit 5, and get all the power of the latest and greatest version of JUnit
And much more

But more importantly, you'll discover the mindset behind the Serenity BDD framework. You'll see live examples of how the framework author uses Serenity BDD to write automated web tests faster and more reliably, and learn how to use the same techniques yourself.

After all, who better to teach you Serenity BDD than the author of the framework himself?

By the end of the course, you'll be able to build automated testing frameworks for your web applications quickly and effectively from scratch, harnessing the full power of Serenity BDD test automation framework.
