Preface

I am enthused to write an instructional book on Java because I have talked with many testers who can relate to the frustration caused by the lack of information to learn Java for automation testing. Java is one of the programming languages for Selenium. A common challenge with new automation testers is learning how to program. Therefore, this book is designed to help an absolute beginner learn Java. The purpose of this book is to fill a need of automation testers who are forced to hurry past the programming component of automation, leading to a struggle with working in Selenium.

Target Audience

The target audience is beginners with little to no knowledge of Java. Beginners are people new to Selenium and Java, and have a desire to establish a deep foundation of Java principles.

Why learn Java?

Java is a powerful programming language that is frequently and commonly implemented in the Information Technology (IT) industry. Java programmers are in high demand in the IT field and being able to code automation scripts in Java will make you a commodity to any quality assurance testing team. There are many Java forums (message boards) online that support Java programmers in need of a solution for a problem. Learning Java and Selenium is a great combination that will make any quality assurance tester effective on an automation project.

Mr. Jones advice for people interested in Functional Automation Testing is to learn the programming language. This advice led him to write two books (Part 1 & Part 2) You Must Learn VBScript for QTP/UFT geared towards VBScript which is the programming language for Unified Functional Testing (UFT) formerly known as Quick Test Professional (QTP). In addition, one book Part 1 Java 4 Selenium WebDriver and an upcoming book Part 2 Java 4 Selenium WebDriver geared toward Java which is one of the programming languages for Selenium.
