In this Azure DevOps for Automation Testers course, we will add a local automation project built with Java, TestNG, and Selenium to an Azure DevOps project, share the repository with other people and run its tests through pipelines.

We all write automated tests using Selenium WebDriver and Java. While developing and testing our automation code, we run it locally on our computers. Others should be able to change or run the code as well. This becomes possible when the code is added to a repository, from which other people can also access it. Once the code is in a repository, it can be executed in a CI/CD environment - such as Jenkins or Azure DevOps - through pipelines. This is the focus of this course.

Course Objectives:

• CI/CD DevOps concepts and Importance of Test Automation
• How to setup Test Automation in DevOps model
