Okay so what if we are Manual Testers, we look at some core areas of testing. But then, we are often told to go the Automation way to improve efficiency, the throughput of our work and all the other blah blah blah..

So no harm in doing Automation, but now comes the difficult part - Do we need to learn a language like Java/Python; Which tool do I learn etc. Can I do mobile testing with it?

An interesting solution to all such questions is an OpenSource tool called 'Katalon'.

There have been several tools that can do Desktop Automation; however, most of them are commercial tools. Did you know that there is an implementation using the WebDriver that can perform Desktop Automation - Its called Winium. This talk is about this unsung hero in the world of Automation.

This talk showcases how you can develop a framework in Java with all kinds of features like WebTesting with Selenium, Service Layer testing with SoapUI and Load Testing with JMeter - all packaged as a single testing solution. Above all, make use of open source libraries and get details HTML reports as well as Summary reports. This solution allows you to seamlessly integrate all your testing requirements under a single framework.

Advanced users in Selenium are given the challenging task of developing a framework from scratch. However, its best to understand the core requirements of how the framework is going to be utilized in order to develop the framework with minimal efforts. This tutorial teaches development of core-building blocks that can be implemented for any Selenium based framework with maximum flexibility and minimum efforts.

Often it is observed that new-comers jumping to Selenium have mastered the API but are stuck up with Object Identification. It becomes very essential that test automation engineers identify robust mechanisms to identify objects and make their scripts less fragile. This talk/tutorial deals with writing optimized Object locators and having best practices in identifying them.
