Learning raw Selenium WebDriver is easy, very easy. After attending my one-day training session, the participants would be able to write maintainable selenium tests for common test scenarios. They often asked me: “What’s the next step?”. My answer: “Do more simple Selenium practices like the ones in the ‘Selenium WebDriver Recipes in Ruby’ book, then use it at work, make it real.” I could sense their hesitation which is easy to understand. For most of the training participants, they had seen failures of test automation attempts by tech leads/external contractors repeatedly. They did not want to use the newly learned skills at work unless they were really confident.

Therefore, I would suggest them practising on a demo site. The site cannot be too simple, like my teaching site: https://travel.agileway.net. Ideally, it shall be a real modern site with features such as:

  • Modern (such as in Material Design)
  • Dynamic (JavaScript and AJAX)
  • Responsive (works on smartphones, iPad, and computers)
  • File Upload/Download
  • Google/Facebook integration (authentication, map)
  • Modal popups/alerts
