Description
Welcome to testing automation with Protractor!
It's great to have you here. I'm pretty sure you're gonna love this course.
Web applications are always changing.
But changes here sometimes break things there, and vice-versa.
Automated tests can catch failures much faster than humans, and when well-architected, they serve as a safety net to push code to production when we see them all green.
Learn how to write end-to-end tests with the Protractor framework to test any kind of web application (even non-angular ones).
In this course, you'll learn:
How to install and configure Protractor
How to write tests for different scenarios of a non-angular web application
How to focus on what's more important first
Most important features
Making it work first and refactoring later
How to organize tests' pre-conditions
How to protect sensitive information
How to use a simplified version of the Page Objects pattern
How to use other open-source libraries to help you write tests
