Automated Testing Implementation: Framework Selection to CI/CD Integration
Learn to implement enterprise-grade automated testing solutions from selecting appropriate frameworks to integrating seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines. Gain hands-on expertise in test design patterns, tool selection, and continuous integration practices for production-ready quality assurance.
About the Course
This comprehensive training program equips quality assurance professionals, developers, and technical leads with the knowledge and practical skills needed to implement automated testing frameworks in real-world enterprise environments. Participants will progress from foundational concepts through advanced CI/CD integration, learning how to select appropriate testing tools, design effective test suites, and establish automated quality gates that accelerate software delivery without compromising reliability.
The course combines theoretical understanding with hands-on labs using industry-standard tools and frameworks, enabling teams to immediately apply these concepts to their existing development pipelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Primarily Java and Python for test automation. Basic knowledge of programming fundamentals assumed. TypeScript covered for Cypress.
Yes. Selenium works with older applications; Cypress requires modern browsers. API testing applies to all systems with service layers.
Unit tests on every commit; integration tests hourly; full suite daily. Risk-based approaches adjust frequency based on deployment velocity.
No universal standard, but 70-80% for critical paths is typical. Focus on critical workflows rather than pursuing arbitrary percentages.
Use mocking libraries (WireMock, Mockito) for isolation. Implement integration tests with real services in dedicated environments.
