Acknowledgement
I would be missing in my duty if I do not thank all the wonderful people at BPB publications who made this book a reality. This includes the management team (Nrip Jain and others), the Acquisition Editor (Nitin Dass) who persistently reached out to me to get this book going. Priyanka Deshpande who was very methodical, meticulous, friendly and strict to make sure that tasks were done on time and for brilliant inputs to chisel the book for the first draft. My wonderful technical reviewer Maroof Abdul Khan whose technical prowess and attention for detail ensured T’s were crossed and I’s were dotted in the book. The technical editor Ashi Singh and the copyeditors Ankit Rathore and Rashmi Sawant did a fantastic job in building the final version of the book and entire marketing and management team of BPB including Sourabh Dwivedi, Surbhi Saxena and others who made a wonderful effort to get the best out of this book. I would like to thank my ex-colleague and a testing guru, Paul Mowat for his wonderful foreword.
Lastly, I would like to thank my critics, teachers, and friends who have been pushing me with their inputs. Without their criticism, sagacious inputs, and support I would have never been able to write this book

Foreword
Paul Mowat is a Director at Deloitte in Quality and Test with over twenty years of experience in advising global organizations on optimization and transformation of their Software Test Engineering as well as performing lead roles on large-scale delivery. Paul contributes to thought leadership in Software Test Engineering, publishing articles, and blogs in industry magazines as well as sharing his wealth of experience by presenting at conferences and coaching the next generation of Software Test Engineers. Paul was invited by the TMMi to critique the TMMi syllabus before the market launch. He is also part of the TMMi executive board responsible for the TMMi professional work stream and critiqued the DOu certified tester in DevOps certification.
Paul has known Kalilur Rahman as a friend for almost a decade and during this time, he learned about Kalilur’s passion for quizzes, technology and his continual pursuit to keep learning. Kalilur has authored articles and been a speaker at conferences, engaging with his followers through sharing of knowledge. Paul and Kalilur have also worked together in shaping a world-class testing service. They have a shared interest in Software Testing Engineering, including management of capabilities across all test phases, innovation, and implementing test automation frameworks, which are the reasons behind this book.
Reflecting upon the changes that have happened in technology in the past thirty years is staggering; it was within this timeframe we experienced the fifth techno-economic revolution, the emergence of a personal computer for all households, who would have predicted that.As the internet and mobile took hold on how people communicated and went about their lives, we see Software is at the centerof organizations today. Open source has taken the industry by storm combined with agile development and DevOps causing organizations to transform. As organizations have transformed, the role of a tester has changed significantly. The skills needed to be successful are no longer the same. There is a huge difference between a tester and an individual who can execute the tests and provide a view on the quality levels compared toa software test engineer.
The software test engineer is high in demand in the market and has the skills to plan, design, and execute the tests while being able to hypothesis and investigate why the software under test does not meet the specification, all within an Agile/DevOps environment. Just having the domain knowledge is not enough; the emergence of the full stack software test engineer is here. Individuals who have experience across the DevOps pipeline, for example, and this is not meant to be an exhausted list of tools but to illustrate the experience needed; JIRA for the product, Sprint and defect backlog, GIT as the source control, Cucumber for business behavior development, Marven as the build tool, SonarQube to analyze the code quality and using a delivery engine like Docker is the key.
Selenium has become one of those open source tools of choice for the software test engineers, especially for automating web applications. If you are thinking about changing roles in the near future, you need to understand Selenium inside out so you can discuss your experience and level of knowledge during the interview phases. This book starts with guiding you through a general overview of test automation related to Selenium covering the history of automation, explaining the framework, for example, Web Driver, IDE, Grid and Remote control, the challenges and the benefits to building upon your understanding of web UI architecture with the various components and elements.For example, Element Locators, Selectors, ID Customization, Event Handling, Asynchronous Interactions, and Simulation of Screen Sizes that make up the web application. The referenced quotes manage to weave themselves into the chapters and resonated with me.
The detailed view of test tools available in the market helps you to appreciate the range of tools available and their primary use. The need to truly understand the architecture and be able to explain it in simple terms and this book enables you to do just that. The easy-to-follow examples cater for the beginner to the more advanced practitioner describing the simple web page object selection, event handling to the more advanced featured such as Page Object Model (POM), Reading and Writing Files, XLS, CSV, Reporting, Use of Object Repository, Integration with Jenkins
