# Selenium & Test Automation

> Build robust automated testing frameworks using Selenium WebDriver with Python and Java in real-world projects. Learn to design scalable test suites and integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines through mentor-led practical scenarios.

## Overview

Selenium & Test Automation is a practitioner-level programme designed to help learners transition from manual testing to building reliable, maintainable automation frameworks. The course focuses on real-world implementation using Selenium WebDriver with both Python and Java, ensuring flexibility across modern tech stacks.

Through a mentor-led approach, participants will explore industry-standard practices such as Page Object Model design, test data management, and robust reporting. Emphasis is placed on writing clean, reusable automation code and aligning testing strategies with agile delivery environments.

Learners will also gain practical exposure to integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous testing and faster release cycles. By the end of the programme, participants will be equipped to design, implement, and maintain scalable automation solutions in professional environments.
