CP-SAT ADVANCED

What is CP-SAT Advanced?

CP-SAT Advanced stands for “Certified Professional – Selenium Automation Testing Advanced”.
Having cleared CP-SAT with basic knowledge of Java Programming and Manual Testing is the only prerequisite for this training.
The course is applicable for all roles and not just “testers”. Knowledge, experience & certification is consciously designed to focus on “agile testing” and not just on “agile testers”.

How is it useful?

CP-SAT Advanced is designed to train agile professionals with the advanced concepts of testing web applications using Selenium. You are trained to improve Selenium test automation skills towards creating more robust test projects. The training is combination of theory as well as hands-on execution of scripts using the features of Selenium with ample time given to practice until you have mastered the concepts. The focus is on the practical application of Selenium to resolve web automated testing challenges and keeping the automation maintainable and extendable. This course focuses on building Selenium automation framework with Page Object Models and execution related concepts using JUnit and TestNG. There is an extensive coverage on Flex/Flash objects testing, reporting and logging mechanism, advanced Grid concepts, Continuous Integration (CI) with Jenkins/Ant/Maven.

Am I Eligible?

Anyone holding a valid CP-SAT certificate can go for this certification.

Duration

CP-SAT Advanced is designed specifically for corporates and working professionals alike. If you are a corporate you can opt for either 5 half days course or 3 days course followed by an examination. If you are a working professional opt for 3 days course followed by an examination. Total training duration is of 27 hrs.
