Java for Testers

In the course Java for Testers you will learn the basic syntax of Java and how to use it when writing JUnit test scripts and Cucumber scenarios.

Java Syntax

Attention is paid to the various data types in Java and the flow control constructions. Also the use of classes and objects with methods, parameter passing and private and public data is discussed. And exception handling in Java and the Java collection framework are treated as well.

JUnit Test

The program of the course Java for Testers also discusses to the design of JUnit tests, the structure of JUnit tests, the annotations and assert statements used, the execution of JUnit tests in an Eclipse environment as well as the reporting on the outcome of the tests.

Cucumber en Gherkin

Finally the Cucumber Framework will be discussed and the mini language Gherkin and the integration with JUnit. The demos and exercises in the course Java for Testers are done in a JUnit environment and are therefore directly applicable when writing test scripts.

Maven Dependency Management

Attention is also paid to the automation of tests in the context of setting up continuous integration. The projects are built in the dependency management tool Maven. The course Java for Testers provides a good basis for participating in the course Web Testing with Selenium .
