Selenium with Java Training in Hyderabad

Selenium with Java Course Syllabus

A structured syllabus can help you progress from programming fundamentals to browser automation and test execution. The following is a suggested learning path. Contact HSK SoftAcademy to confirm which modules are included in the current course.

Module 1: Software Testing Fundamentals

Before writing automated test scripts, it helps to understand the purpose of software testing.

Topics may include:

• Introduction to software testing

• Manual testing and automation testing

• Software testing life cycle

• Test scenarios and test cases

• Test data and expected results

• Functional and regression testing

• Defect reporting and basic bug life cycle

• Introduction to test automation

• When to automate a test and when not to

This module helps learners understand why software applications need testing and how testers check application behaviour.

Module 2: Core Java for Selenium

Java is used to write Selenium automation scripts. A basic understanding of Java helps you create scripts that are easier to read, reuse, and maintain.

Topics may include:

• Introduction to Java programming

• Variables and data types

• Operators and expressions

• Conditional statements

• Loops

• Arrays and strings

• Methods and constructors

• Classes and objects

• Object-oriented programming

• Inheritance and polymorphism

• Encapsulation and abstraction

• Interfaces

• Exception handling

• Collections framework

• Basic debugging

If you are new to programming, learning Java fundamentals before moving to Selenium can make automation concepts easier to understand.

Module 3: Introduction to Selenium WebDriver

Selenium WebDriver is a core part of browser automation. It allows test scripts to interact with supported browsers.

Topics may include:

• Introduction to Selenium

• Selenium WebDriver architecture

• Browser setup and configuration

• Opening and closing browsers

• Navigating between web pages

• Managing browser windows

• Finding web elements

• Using browser commands

• Understanding WebDriver methods

• Running a basic Selenium script

By the end of this stage, learners should understand how a Java program can control a browser to perform basic testing actions.

Module 4: Web Elements and Locators

A web page contains different elements, such as buttons, links, input fields, menus, and tables. Selenium needs to identify these elements before it can interact with them.

Topics may include:

• Understanding HTML elements

• Finding elements by ID

• Finding elements by name

• Using class name and tag name

• Link text and partial link text

• CSS selectors

• XPath expressions

• Relative XPath concepts

• Handling multiple matching elements

• Identifying elements using browser developer tools

Choosing reliable locators is important because poorly designed locators can cause test scripts to fail when a page changes.

Module 5: Handling Web Elements

After locating an element, Selenium can perform actions and check the results.

Topics may include:

• Entering text into input fields

• Clicking buttons and links

• Clearing text fields

• Reading text from a page

• Checking element visibility

• Checking whether elements are enabled

• Handling checkboxes and radio buttons

• Working with dropdown lists

• Handling alerts

• Managing frames and iframes

• Working with browser tabs and windows

• Scrolling and other browser interactions

These skills help learners automate common user actions on websites.

Module 6: Waits and Synchronization

Web pages may take time to load information. Some elements appear only after a user action or a background request. Automation scripts must handle these situations carefully.

Topics may include:

• Understanding synchronization problems

• Implicit waits

• Explicit waits

• Expected conditions

• Waiting for elements to appear

• Waiting for elements to become clickable

• Handling dynamic web elements

• Reducing unreliable timing assumptions

• Troubleshooting common test failures

Correct synchronization helps make automation scripts more reliable and reduces failures caused by timing issues.

Module 7: TestNG Framework

Test frameworks help organize test scripts and manage test execution. TestNG is commonly used with Selenium and Java.

Topics may include:

• Introduction to TestNG

• Creating and running test cases

• Test annotations

• Assertions and verification

• Test setup and cleanup

• Grouping test cases

• Test priorities and dependencies

• Parameterization

• Data-driven testing concepts

• Test reports

• Running selected tests

A test framework makes it easier to organize multiple test cases and review their results.

Module 8: Page Object Model and Framework Design

As automation projects grow, keeping all test logic in one place can make scripts difficult to maintain. The Page Object Model, often called POM, helps organize code around individual application pages.

Topics may include:

• Introduction to automation frameworks

• Page Object Model concepts

• Separating page actions from test cases

• Reusable methods

• Organizing test packages

• Managing configuration data

• Basic test data management

• Logging and error handling

• Improving code readability

• Maintaining automation scripts

Framework design helps learners understand how small test scripts can be organized into a larger automation project.

Module 9: Data-Driven Testing and Test Execution

Testers often need to run the same test with different sets of input data. Data-driven testing helps reduce repeated code and makes test coverage easier to manage.

Depending on the course syllabus, topics may include:

• Using multiple test data sets

• Reading data from external files

• Parameterizing tests

• Running multiple test cases

• Basic parallel execution concepts

• Reviewing test reports

• Debugging failed test cases

• Rerunning tests after application changes

These techniques are useful when testing forms, login pages, search functions, and other features with different inputs.

Module 10: Git, Maven, and Continuous Integration Basics

Automation projects often use development tools to manage dependencies, track code changes, and run tests.

A broader Selenium training path may introduce:

• Git fundamentals

• Basic version control commands

• Maven project structure

• Managing Java dependencies

• Running test suites through build tools

• Introduction to Jenkins or another CI tool

• Running automated tests in a pipeline

• Reviewing test execution reports

The availability of these topics should be confirmed with the institute before enrolment
