Introduction to the course4:56
Explore parallel testing with selenium web driver in Visual Studio using C-sharp to elevate automated testing, including cloud options with browser stack and soft labs.
Why is parallel test great4:11
Learn how parallel testing speeds up automated test suites by running tests on separate processes or servers, dramatically reducing total runtime and delivering faster feedback.

how to install Nuget packages for Webdriver and NUnit2:58
Install and configure selenium web driver, selenium web driver support, and NUnit in a new class library using NuGet, and leverage NUnit's parallelization to run tests in parallel.
how to install NUnit Test Adapter1:09
Install the NUnit 3 test adapter via Tools > Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio to run NUnit tests directly from Visual Studio without attaching to a process.
setting up our selenium tests3:41
Learn to set up selenium tests in a Visual Studio project, wire up web driver and NUnit, and run and debug tests in Test Explorer.
debugging a problem and running our first test2:00
Debug a null reference error by adding a setup method to initialize the Selenium Firefox driver, then run a unit test with NUnit to validate a true assertion.
dont be afraid to fail or make mistakes2:09
Embrace mistakes and debug with confidence, using Google and community help to solve selenium web driver issues in Visual Studio, while keeping IntelliSense on with proper using statements.
setting up another local test1:55
Discover how to set up an additional local test and enable parallel execution in Selenium, speeding up test runs from building to running all tests in Visual Studio.
setting up local tests to start running in parallel4:05
Learn how to run unit tests in parallel by assigning each test to its own class and marking the test class as parallelizable, enabling parallel execution on a local vm.
advantages and disadvantages of local parallel testing4:01
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of local parallel testing with Selenium, including resource limits and maintenance burdens. Cloud services manage infrastructure, enabling tests across many browser and OS configurations.
advantages or executing tests in the cloud2:43
Discover the benefits of running Selenium tests in the cloud in parallel, leveraging real devices and 700+ desktop browsers with out-of-the-box reporting, screenshots, videos, and logs.
What are you struggling with?0:06

setting up a browser stack test3:06
Learn to set up a BrowserStack test for parallel Selenium execution by creating a class library in Visual Studio, installing Selenium bindings, and configuring capabilities from BrowserStack docs.
Framework Reviews - Survey0:27
understanding the browser stack test and setting up env variables3:57
Explore how to configure BrowserStack tests using desired capabilities and remote web driver, and set environment variables for BrowserStack user and key to securely run parallel Selenium tests.
how to run the browser stack test3:00
learn how to run browser stack tests securely by using environment variables for credentials, initialize and tear down methods, and view cloud-based visual, text, and video logs of automated tests.
creating other browser stack tests3:45
Learn to parallelize tests on browser stack by creating individual test classes for each scenario, then run across multiple browsers and devices, including desktop and mobile configurations.
how to execute parallel tests in browserstack3:20
Execute three tests in parallel across Safari on macOS, Firefox on Windows 10, and Android Galaxy S5 using BrowserStack cloud, and observe videos, logs, and interactive debugging features.

getting started with sauce labs3:13
discover how to run automated parallel tests with sauce labs using the remote web driver, and leverage free trials and documentation for parallel testing in c# with NUnit.
how to run a selenium webdriver test in sauce labs2:37
Learn to set up and run a Selenium WebDriver test in Sauce Labs, including parallel execution, dashboard inspection, and using logs, videos, and screenshots for bug reporting.
how to run selenium tests in parallel using sauce labs3:25
Learn how to run selenium tests in parallel using sauce labs, including configuring desired capabilities, setup and teardown, and validating parallel execution across browsers and operating systems.
conclusions2:13
Wrap up the parallel testing workflow with the millennium web driver, showing how to run tests locally and in the cloud with browser stack and soss labs.

Description

Is your automation test suite taking hours to run? Are you having issues with debugging and analyzing automated test failures? Can your automation framework record videos and capture screenshots?

This course is an introductory Selenium Webdriver course that is designed to take your automated software testing skills to the next level and solve all of the problems above. It covers just enough options to help you run your tests in parallel without overwhelming you with a bunch of minute details.

"The best tutorials I have ever seen, simply awesome. I take off my hat in front of you, you are an gorgeous professor, I am speechless to express how satisfied I am with these tutorials." -Lisbey

This is a course that briefly introduces you to the following topics:

1. How to run Selenium Webdriver tests in parallel on your computer

2. How to run Selenium Webdriver tests in parallel in Browser Stack's cloud

3. How to run Selenium Webdriver tests in parallel in Sauce Lab's cloud

4. Introduction to NUnit

5. Understand the benefits of running your tests in parallel

6. Understand the benefits of running your tests in the cloud

7. Understand how to configure and use the RemoteWebdriver class

This is not a comprehensive coverage of all of these tools! Just enough to get you up and running fast.

"Great Video I have ever seen on YouTube. You are so so clear and honest in presenting the material. I had no idea how important it is to use QTP from different angle, that is via scripting. Great Work and Thank You so so so much!" -Mohammed

"Excellent course. Before starting, I was unsure if I could learn this powerful technology, but by the end I was confidently writing scripts. I'm looking forward to taking Nikolay's other courses." -James
