Complete Curriculum Breakdown

Maven Build Tool

Master Maven — the build tool that every Java automation project runs on, from managing dependencies to executing tests in CI/CD

CI/CD with Jenkins

Set up Jenkins to run your Selenium tests automatically — every push, every night, no manual effort

Reporting with Allure

Generate rich, interactive test reports that teams actually want to read

Cross-Browser & Cloud Testing

Run tests across browsers using Selenium Grid, Docker, and cloud platforms like BrowserStack — because your users don't all use Chrome

Frequently Asked Questions

Do testers need to know full DevOps to automate CI/CD pipelines?

No. You do not need Kubernetes cluster administration. You need pipeline integration skills: triggering test runs via Maven Surefire, managing environment secrets, and publishing HTML test reports.
