Test Automation Fundamentals
Nowadays, Agile methods are broadly introduced in organizations. In the first wave this normally means new ways of working; e.g. using Scrum or Kanban. In the second wave, however, most efforts are invested in automation. This automation, or ‘Continuous Delivery’, means being ready to deploy to production as soon as possible. To get to this point, all manual steps need to be fully automated.

Short summary
However, when implementing Continuous Delivery in practice, the first major impediment is often a total lack of Test Automation, which is crucial because automated deployment requires that a system is tested. As the Agile way of working uses short iterations, testing the same thing over and over manually becomes too expensive, if feasible at all.
During the Test automation fundamentals course, you will experience learning by doing, or ‘experiential learning’ over the course of three weeks to get the hang of test automation. During the interactive gatherings, you will learn new concepts and technological solutions for test automation, while learning individually between gatherings.
