Radha Muthian says, “I learned Selenium WebDriver and the course was very helpful to automate the Web Applications. The lifetime access of classes helps a lot to refer back and download the codes.” Vijay Krishnan says, “I have attended Selenium Web driver Certification with Edureka. The trainer has explained all the concepts of the course in detail manner which was very easy to understand. Worth for the money spent!!!!” Tom Tully says, “I wanted to learn Selenium Webdriver in a live, real course, not self paced, so there would be pressure on me to finish. Edureka accomplished this at a price far lower than an in-person class, and as far as I know they are the only internet class that has live lectures on this subject. Teacher was very knowledgeable. I learned basic use of Selenium. No problem with me being in US and teacher in India. They have US 800 number.” Suhas Kashyap says, “The online Course(Selenium Webdriver), which I took from Edureka was interactive and also helped me to improve my knowledge on selenium. Further helped me in changing the job as well. Thanks Edureka Team... :).”
Editor's Notes
- #5: Manual testing is not reliable. Using this method test execution is not accurate all the time. To execute the test cases first time using manual testing will be very much useful. But it is not sure that it will catch the regression defects under frequently changing requirements. Manual testing will be useful when the test case only needs to run once or twice. To execute the test cases every time tester requires the same amount of time. Using manual testing,testing on different machine with different OS platform combination is not possible, concurrently. To execute such task different testers are required. It does not involve in programming task to fetch hidden information. Manual testing is slower than automation. Running tests manually can be very time consuming. It is very much helpful in UI testing To execute the Build Verification Testing (BVT) is very mundane and tiresome in manual testing. Manual testing requires less cost than automation.
