    • Classes & Objects

    • Inheritance

    • Polymorphism

    • Abstraction & Encapsulation

  • Exception Handling

  • Collections Framework (List, Set, Map, Iterator)

  • File Handling (FileReader, FileWriter, etc.)

✅ 2. Selenium WebDriver Basics

(Hands-on browser automation using Java)

  • Introduction to Selenium (Selenium vs QTP)

  • Setting up Selenium with Java in Eclipse/IntelliJ

  • WebDriver Architecture

  • Locators:

    • ID, Name, ClassName, LinkText, PartialLinkText

    • XPath (absolute & relative), CSS Selectors

  • WebDriver Commands:

    • get, navigate, close, quit

    • getTitle, getCurrentUrl

  • Working with Web Elements:

    • click, sendKeys, clear

    • isDisplayed, isEnabled, isSelected

  • Handling Forms and Inputs

  • Browser Navigation (forward, back, refresh)

  • Handling Waits:

    • Implicit Wait

    • Explicit Wait

    • Fluent Wait

✅ 3. Advanced Selenium WebDriver

(For testing dynamic and complex web apps)

  • Handling Alerts, Frames, and Windows

  • Working with Dropdowns and Multiple Selections

  • Actions Class (mouse hover, drag-and-drop, keyboard actions)

  • JavaScriptExecutor (scrolling, clicking via JS)

  • Taking Screenshots

  • Web Tables (static & dynamic)

  • File Upload & Download handling

  • Robot Class (keyboard/mouse simulation)

✅ 4. TestNG Framework

(Used to create structured and maintainable test cases)

  • Installing and configuring TestNG

  • Annotations (@Test, @BeforeMethod, etc.)

  • Prioritization and Grouping of Tests

  • DataProvider (for data-driven testing)

  • Assertions

  • Parallel Test Execution

  • Generating Reports (HTML reports)

✅ 5. Selenium Framework Development

(Create maintainable test frameworks)

  • Page Object Model (POM)

    • PageFactory, @FindBy

  • Data-Driven Framework using Excel

    • Apache POI

  • Keyword-Driven Framework

  • Hybrid Framework (Combination of POM + DDF + KDF)

  • Cross-browser Testing using WebDriverManager

✅ 6. Cucumber with Selenium (BDD Framework)

(Behavior Driven Development)

  • Introduction to BDD & Cucumber

  • Gherkin Syntax: Feature, Scenario, Given-When-Then

  • Writing Step Definitions

  • Integrating with Selenium WebDriver

  • Cucumber Options and Hooks

  • Cucumber Reports

✅ 7. Automation Utilities & Tools

(To extend test capabilities)

  • Maven (Project Build Tool)

  • Log4j (Logging)

  • Extent Reports (Beautiful HTML reports)

  • Git & GitHub (Version Control)

  • Jenkins (CI/CD Integration)

  • Docker (optional - for containerizing test execution)

  • Allure Reporting (optional)

✅ 8. Selenium Grid

(Run tests in parallel on multiple machines/browsers)

  • Setting up Selenium Grid Hub and Nodes

  • Configuring browsers

  • Parallel and distributed testing

✅ 9. API Testing with Rest Assured (Optional Bonus)

(For backend/API automation)

  • REST API Basics (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)

  • Using Rest Assured Library

  • Validating Response Status, Headers, Body

  • Using TestNG with Rest Assured

✅ 10. Interview Preparation

  • Common Selenium Interview Questions

  • Scenario-based Problem Solving

  • Mock Interviews & Practice
