Web and Mobile Testing with Selenium

The University of Minnesota connects web and mobile testing with prioritizing effort and automating repeatable checks. Functional web testing leads into nonfunctional concerns and mobile interfaces. It suits learners who want to understand where browser automation fits in a broader test strategy and explain which risks still need another kind of evidence after a Selenium-based user flow passes.

What you will learn

• Explore functional web testing and browser automation.
• Compare nonfunctional web-testing concerns.
• Connect mobile interfaces with a wider test strategy.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners studying software testing. Programming and prior test-design knowledge are useful for applying the examples. The course covers web and mobile testing more broadly than Selenium syntax alone.

Before you enroll

Practice against a local application or an explicitly permitted testing environment with fictional records. Keep account credentials out of scripts and shared reports. Match browser, driver, language and framework versions with the demonstrated setup; cloud testing services can cost extra. Useful automation needs controlled state, meaningful assertions and failure evidence. A green run alone does not establish complete coverage of an application.

Put it into practice

Plan tests for a fictional booking application with web and mobile interfaces. Automate one functional web check and explain which performance or mobile-specific risk it cannot answer.
