Web Automation with Ruby, Selenium, and Cucumber

In today's fast-paced software development lifecycle, automated testing is essential for delivering high-quality web applications quickly. This text-based course guides you through the process of building robust, automated test suites using the elegant and readable Ruby programming language. You will transition from writing your first lines of Ruby code to designing professional, behavior-driven development (BDD) automation frameworks. By combining the power of Selenium WebDriver with Cucumber, you will learn how to write human-readable test scenarios that validate web application behavior reliably and efficiently. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Ruby programming concepts, including syntax, variables, control flow, and object-oriented principles. - Configure modern dependency management using Bundler and set up your testing environment. - Master Selenium WebDriver to interact with web elements, handle dynamic page loads, and manage browser sessions. - Implement the Page Object Model (POM) to write clean, maintainable, and reusable automation code. - Build BDD frameworks using Cucumber to bridge the gap between technical test scripts and business requirements. - Apply modern testing practices such as headless browser execution and structured test execution reporting. The course begins with fundamental programming concepts and core scripting syntax before guiding you through browser automation mechanics and end-to-end framework architecture. Designed specifically for beginners, manual QA professionals, and aspiring automation engineers, this course requires no prior programming experience.
