Software Testing Automation Essentials

12 Live Virtual Classroom Sessions with embedded Practical Experience and Mentoring Projects.

There is a strong demand in the industry for testers with practical experience ensuring software quality. We have designed our courses to include in-depth practical learning solutions, which in turn provides candidates with hands-on skills to be productive from day one.

Live Virtual Classroom
Our ‘Remote Attend’ courses allow you to access our classroom training without leaving your home or office and are designed to provide a synchronous real-time learning experience for the remote student. Live Project .
Industry Professional Tutors
Our Software Testing Training is delivered by software testing practitioners with many years of IT experience including many years QA experience as lead testers and test managers within the Public Sector, Financial, Pharmaceutical, Insurance and Telecommunications industries.
Practical Experience and Mentoring Project
As part of this training programme, we are able to provide this work experience/Mentoring program that is embedded into the latter stages of course and not at the very end

In addition to teaching you manual testing we now include a test automation boot camp into the course which can really make a difference to your securing employment in this sector; Automation tools like Selenium are used widely in the software testing sector for web services testing.

Understanding Cucumber, Jenkins, GitHub, and Jira (for working in an Agile environment) is an absolute must have. We cover all these on the course so you can be sure you are learning the right stuff to give your CV that boost it needs to go to the top of the pile …but more importantly you will have the knowledge to back it up.

This is why we have designed our course to be different from the others out there – This is not ISEB/IQSTB revision 101.

On this course if you haven’t learnt how to analyse requirements, generate test cases and write test scripts at the end of the course then we are not doing our job.

So if you are looking at getting into the industry, then this is the software testing course for you. We cover the essentials you need to know in order to get started as a professional tester with practical hands-on experience.

Thereafter students will not only be able to make a good impression at any interview situation they will also gain the confidence to make a start in a successful testing career.

We are not debunking understanding the theory behind testing and of course it is important for students to develop an understanding of various testing techniques, fundamental testing terminology and if they wish to sit the ISEB Foundation exam .

We simply recognise that most people are able to pick up the theory on their own via the vast resources available online and other sources.

The practical approach we adopt for our software testing essentials course is exactly what you need to help you get a great job in this sector.

What our learners say

I attended Anil's Selenium Webdriver course and learnt the concepts quickly. I loved the way he makes the concepts simple for beginners. He has great expertise in teaching Test Automation/(Webdriver) architecture and frameworks.It was useful to learn the best practices in automation along with learning Webdriver programming. I would highly recommend his course to any one aiming to develop a solid foundation in Selenium Webdriver

Being one of those who was not satisfied with what I was earning in my job, I decided to give software testing a go. Even though I was a complete novice, I had heard about the course run by Futuretrend and I decided to give it a go. Turned out to be one of the best, if not the best career decisions I ever made. The two week course was delivered in a manner that even a ten year old could start a career in testing. At the end of it, I knew I had gained a lot. Steve even went as far as giving a few tips on interview techniques. This was evident in the fact that it only took my first ever interview for a tester to be offered the position. I was taught everything I needed to know as a tester, even in my new job, it feels like I have been testing for years.

The course plan was well structured covering all the features of the tool, each feature was explained in a simple & understandable way with lots of practical & real life scenarios. There were training exercises at the end of each chapter which enabled me to write my own scripts in a easier way with Sam's guidance; I would have never had the confidence to be able to work with QTP if not for training course at Future Trend. The course is offered at an affordable price without any compromise on the coverage or quality of training. In addition to the course, FutureTrend offers immense support & guidance on a one-to-one basis depending on the need and situation of the candidate. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get the best practical training on QTP.

Hope you are doing well. I'm Chammi who followed your QA Training course in beginning of June. I just want to thank you for all your guidance, tips, helps and motivations. Last week I got a job as a QA Engineer and I'm going to start my new role end of this month. After following your course I started self learning Selenium Webdriver and I managed to learn it fast as I have a development background. The new role is a manual testing and Selenium automation role and I'm up for the challenge. Thanks again for all you did.
