Rice Consulting have just announced that their new Practical Software Test Automation Course – which features Macro Scheduler for the scripting exercises – is now available in an e-Learning format.
This course focuses on the basics of software test automation and expands on those topics to learn some of the deeper issues of test automation. This course is not specific to any particular tool set but does include hands-on exercises using free and inexpensive test tools. The tool used for test automation exercises is Macro Scheduler.
The main objective of this course is to help you understand the landscape of software test automation and how to make test automation a reality in your organization. You will learn the top challenges of test automation and which approaches are the best ones for your situation, how to establish your own test automation organization, and how to design software with test automation in mind. You will also learn many of the lessons of test automation by performing exercises using sample test automation tools on sample applications.
I’ve been running through the course myself and so far I’m really impressed. This is a great way to get started on test automation and the great value e-Learning format means you can do it in your own time at your convenience. There’s also a whole module on using Macro Scheduler with some videos to help you get started.
You can see the course outline here, take a demo, or sign up on line here.
