CP-SAT (Python) Instructor Led Online Program

What is CPSAT Program ?

CP-SAT stands for “Certified Professional – Selenium Automation Testing” certification prepared and honored by “Agile Testing Alliance”.

CP-SAT learning objective gives the coverage topics for anyone who want to give the exam. Any training covering the CP-SAT Syllabus would be covering the learning objectives in a practical manner.

If you want to be accredited license trainer or partner get in touch with us at CPSATSupport@ATAEvents.org

With the revised learning objectives, we have also brought in a new change in the structure of the CPSAT program. The program become more comprehensive with a total duration of 5 weeks which will include 1 week pre-requisite of Python learnings. This will thus enable all the folks out there to pick up the programming constructs and also dive into the world of Selenium Automation. Some of the key highlights in this revised and updated learning objectives is mentioned below/ 

What has changed in 2.0 Version?

• CPSAT python certification program requires participants to be familiar with the python programming language constructs. We have added a pre-requisite section for python

• Selenium IDE has been re-introduced

• Tools for locator creation – developer tools from Chrome and/or Selectors hub reference is now added

• Selenium grid execution using docker containers has been added

• Managing project through GIT and Continuous testing using GIT and Jenkins has been added

• Reporting section has been added

• Handling CSV and Json files for Data Driven testing has been added

• BDD framework is now a part of separate course

You can download the latest learning objectives from the following page: https://cpsat.agiletestingalliance.org/downloads

With the latest changes in the learning objectives, the program has become quite comprehensive. These learning objectives focus on the most challenging areas for testing web applications using the latest Selenium 3.x, using JUnit and TestNG. There is an extensive coverage on Data Driven Testing, Page Object Model, Selenium Grid, Continuous Integration (CI) with Jenkins and Maven. We have added GIT (SCM tool) integration with Jenkins and basics of Docker. How to use Selenium Grid on cloud is a new addition to the program

Course Duration : 5 weeks.

Timings : 7:30 am - 10:30 am (IST)
