SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) (3 days)

content & syllabus

SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) offers its participants the un-diluted Selenium experience. Other similar courses tend to cover non-Selenium topics such as TestNG, Reporting, CI, Cucumber etc, which tends to bulk up the course, but alter the focus on key features of Selenium that are crucial in practice. This is why SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) allows the participants to focus more on the critical Selenium concepts, so they better understand how to implement Selenium into their daily work.

Another important differentiator is that Selenium United believes in the importance of practical training, which is why over 70% of the course consists of hands-on exercises, which allows participants to also gain experience and implement as they learn.

SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) is a hands-on course that deals with the Selenium concepts in a very practical way (30% theory, 70% practical)

• This course is a comprehensive certification aimed at anyone involved in developing and implementing automated web app automation using Selenium
• This course also provides full coverage of web test automation using Selenium, including all relevant techniques and terminology from the most basic to the most advanced concepts
• SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) is a 3-day course, followed by a 60-minute certification exam at the end of the last day.
