<p>Test automation, a formalized testing process, can automate repetitive but necessary tasks that would be difficult to do manually.</p> <p>This video is a practical step-by-step guide to developing UI test automation frameworks from scratch, and is targeted at Java developers. We’ll explore Web Driver, Appium (for mobile applications), and Cucumber-JVM. While working through the video, you will master the step-by-step test automation framework development process and see how it changes the shape of tests. At the end you will have a vision of what a framework is, what it looks like, and what items should be covered at the beginning of test automation development.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>The video is a practical demonstration of the test framework development process. Most videos contain an introduction to the underlying theory and then a practical, step-by-step component with full explanations. Thus, the viewer observes how the entire test automation solution is built.</p>
