Is Selenium easy to learn?

Can I learn Selenium without coding?

I want to learn Selenium WebDriver testing.

I don't have much experience with it so I don't know if I'm missing something really basic. Can I learn Selenium testing without coding? Or is it necessary?

The short answer is yes, you can learn it without writing a single line of code. There are plenty of books available online and in the bookstores.

There are 2 main methods of learning Selenium: You can watch Selenium training videos and read books online. You can write scripts using Selenium IDE. The video tutorials will show you all the basics in 1-2 hours and then the book will teach you all the remaining. You don't need to learn them one by one. It's all in one go.

Who is eligible to take this Selenium course?

To be eligible to attend this course, a person must meet all of the following criteria:

1) Must be registered and enrolled as an Active Associate Member of IHRSA in good standing (eg, not be "ex-duress" or on "c" status, or not be within six month of having left the registry);. 2) Must have received an acceptance letter for either the Associate-to-Instructor or Teaching Assistant certificate of enrollment in the previous academic year; and. 3) Must satisfy any special course requirements established by the instructor (eg, an essay for the teaching assistant course). For more information regarding the Selenium course, including the application forms and other registration documentation, visit the IHRSA Selenium Course web page ( course-desc). Is there a limit on how many people can take the course? No, but students should register early to secure a class place if they have an interest in registering for the course. What is the minimum number of credits required to obtain the Certificate of Completion (COC) for the Selenium course? For the COC, 3,000 clock hours. The time clock hours do not have to be earned at IHRSA schools, but they must be earned at a registered IHRSA School. Please see the Selenium course for further information on earning these hours.

Is there a prerequisite for earning the Certificate of Completion for the Selenium course? In addition to attending the Selenium course, students will need to complete four courses at the certificate level that are available to them through the online delivery system (see ). If the course does not work for an individual's program, it may still count toward the required number of courses to obtain the certificate. All students enrolled in this Selenium course should receive an email notification from IHRSA's Registration system when their account has been updated with the certificate number for completion of the necessary courses.

Note that the certificate will be awarded after you successfully complete all of the remaining courses at the certificate level, including a minimum of eight hours of distance education for the certificate completion. Some certificate programs, such as the Certified Teacher (CT) are more forgiving on course load requirements to complete their program.

How long does it take to complete this free Selenium course?

I am interested in learning how to write Selenium tests using Python.

However, I need a few tips on how to get started quickly. What are the steps involved in getting my computer configured with Python, HTML, JS, Selenium IDE, and Jenkins? (I would also be more than happy to have someone help me get through some of the lessons while I watch the videos for some extra practice) How do you get the HTML or JS? The only documentation I have seen was the course itself, which is quite long. Can someone just send me an email or reply here? Thanks.

I am a complete beginner in HTML, JS, CSS. I used a template and created this website based on the tutorial and this course. Is that okay? If not, is there anyone out there who would be willing to provide me with a few pointers on how to get a little more comfortable?

If someone wants to help me, do I need to provide them any prior experience in writing test automation? It seems as though writing test automation code can be similar to writing CSS or HTML. For example, HTML is composed of headings and paragraphs, the paragraphs are usually structured such that the first paragraph starts with words like "one" then "two" then "three" etc. A Selenium program is made up of actions, locators, attributes, etc. The actions are just instructions on what to do. I can see how HTML & JS are much more structured, but how to break down a Selenium program into more components? Do you think a novice could figure it out without having any programming experience? What else should I consider when selecting someone to write my test scripts for me? And also, can anyone let me know where I can go to learn more about this topic before I begin? I want to become familiar with Selenium before I get started writing this stuff for myself.

Yes! That works. But I am interested in going beyond just a web site that I can get from anywhere. The reason I want to learn this is because if I get interested in learning how to become an instructor, I will have to teach this type of concept. Are there more steps required to becoming an instructor and making the move?

@Nathan, I've seen people write Selenium tests.
