Selenium WebDriver with C# for Beginners

Learn how the software development life cycle guides building high quality software by gathering client requirements, designing, implementing, testing, delivering, and maintaining products through collaborative teamwork.

Apply agile software development through adaptive planning, evolutionary development, and rapid feedback from customers and users. Emphasize self-organizing teams, daily stand-ups, and frequent delivery via Scrum or Kanban.

Map the scrum team roles, including the scrum master, project manager, developers, testers, business analysts, architect, designers, and product owner, and describe their responsibilities in delivering quality software.

Understand functional and non-functional testing, including unit and integration tests, plus key types like system, regression, smoke, sanity, and acceptance testing for beginner engineers.

Define a bug as an error or fault that makes software behave incorrectly, and emphasize debugging to find and fix issues before they cause costly or dangerous outcomes.

Define a test case as a set of conditions and steps to verify functionality, including prerequisites, data, and expected results.

Learn to write test cases from scratch, detailing name, prerequisites, test data, steps, and expected versus actual results, using notepad before Jira, demonstrated with invalid and valid login scenarios.

Explore black box testing as a behavior-based, specification-based approach that verifies software functionality from the user perspective by testing input against expected output, without exposing internal code.

Learn white box testing, also known as clear box or glass box testing, which inspects the internal code structure, coverage, and unit testing to differentiate it from black box testing.

Perform cross browser testing to verify web applications across multiple browsers for compatibility. Align testing with client requirements across browsers like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and mobile.

Understand how user acceptance testing verifies that software works for users and meets requirements, following the path from client requirements through design, coding, and system testing to acceptance.

Discover how Jira serves as a bug tracking and project management tool, using boards to move tasks from to do to done, track user stories, test cases, and releases.

Learn regression testing, re-executing existing tests to ensure new code changes do not affect existing features, with automation aiding and manual testing remaining necessary.

Learn exploratory testing, a discovery, investigation, and learning driven approach with no prewritten test cases. Design and execute tests simultaneously, balancing thinking, automation limits, and breaking the system.

Explain the difference between volume testing and load testing as performance tests, using one huge file versus many small files to illustrate throughput and end-user expectations.

Learn when to move from manual to automated testing by automating repetitive tasks after building a solid manual testing foundation, recognizing not everything can be automated.

Prepare for your first manual qa job with interview-ready answers on software development lifecycle, test cases, and testing, including exploratory, regression, cross-browser, white-box, automation vs manual, and user acceptance testing.

Discover the typical QA engineer salary, starting around $50k, average about $71,927, and growth to $90k–$100k with experience, plus strong in-demand job prospects.

Earn cash by testing websites for 20–30 minutes as a side gig, earning 10–15 dollars per project on sites like user testing dot com and try my UI dot com.

Compare C# and Java as versatile tools, noting C# for Unity game development and Java for Android and complex web applications, while both share object-oriented foundations.

Begin your journey by exploring the basics of programming with C#, follow step-by-step tutorials, and engage by asking questions and providing feedback to help improve the course.

Install Visual Studio Community edition, select the dot net desktop development workload, and create a new C# console project named my first project to begin .NET development.

Master the basics of c# by building your first console app. Learn the main method, namespace, and class, and use console write line and read line to print hello world.

Explore variables and data types in programming, including int, double, float, decimal, string, and char. See how quotes define strings, single quotes define chars, and how var may infer types.

Identify the boolean data type, a variable that holds true or false values. Note that this course won't use booleans, but recognize this variable type to understand conditional logic.

Create a simple calculator in C# that prompts for two numbers, reads them from the console, parses them as integers, and displays their sum and product.

Create a simple greeting program that asks for a first name and a second name via console.readline, then prints a welcome message using string concatenation.

Practice if else statements and conditional logic in a C# program. It asks age to decide if you may enter a bar using less than and greater or equal to.

Explore switch statements in C# by comparing age-based access decisions with if-else logic, using cases and break to determine entry permissions.

Learn how to use for loops in C# to print numbers from 1 to 10, understand initialization, condition, and increment, and explore starting from zero for array indexing.

Learn how to define and call methods in C#, including static void, parameters, return types, and printing results with multiply and add examples.

Learn the basics of arrays in C#, including declaring integer arrays, assigning values by index, zero-based indexing, and both explicit and inline initialization.

Discover how a simple Selenium automation program logs into Amazon using c#, offering a beginner-friendly introduction that will become easier in later lessons.

Install Visual Studio, download the community edition, and install the .NET desktop development workload, then create a new console project named My first project and apply a dark theme.

Explore what Selenium is and how Selenium WebDriver lets you automate web tests across browsers using languages like Java and C#, simulating user actions and validating outcomes.

Create your first project in Visual Studio and reference Selenium, install the Selenium WebDriver and Chrome driver via NuGet, and prepare to start writing Selenium automation tests in C#.

Create a simple selenium automation in C# by setting up a Chrome driver and importing Selenium; navigate to Google, locate the search box by name, and type a query.

Learn to verify a web page title in Selenium with C# by retrieving the browser title and asserting it equals the expected value, such as Google.

Learn to build a Facebook account-creation automation using selenium web driver and C#, locating elements, filling fields, selecting birth date from dropdowns, and verifying error handling.
