What is CP-SAT?
CP-SAT stands for “Certified Professional – Selenium Automation Testing”.
- CP-SAT certification exam can be taken by anyone without going through the training program covering the learning objectives below.
- CP-SAT certification exam is the only globally accepted certification exam covering practical assessment.
- CP-SAT learning objective gives the coverage topics for anyone who want to give the exam. Any training covering the CP-SAT Syllabus would be covering the learning objectives in a practical manner.
- CP-SAT exam can now be taken in three language streams
- Java
- C#
- Python
The training course provided by accredited CP-SAT license trainers is applicable for all roles and not just “testers”. Knowledge, experience & certification is consciously designed to focus on “practical aspects of testing” and not just on “theory”.
If you want to be accredited license trainer or partner get in touch with us at CPSATSupport@ATAEvents.org
How is it useful?
CP-SAT is designed to train testing professionals with the concepts of testing web applications using Selenium.
The training provided by accredited license trainers is completely hands-on covering execution of scripts using the features of Selenium with ample time given to practice until the concepts are mastered.
This syllabus and hence the training course focus on the most challenging areas for testing web applications using the latest Selenium 3.x, using JUnit and TestNG. There is an extensive coverage on Data Driven Testing, Key Word Driven Testing, Page Object Model, Selenium Grid, Continuous Integration (CI) with Jenkins and Maven.
Am I Eligible?
Anyone having basic experience Java programming and manual testing can go for this certification.
What was changed in 1.3 version?
- ANT as a build tool has been removed
- Headless browser execution is included
- Maven now is the choice of build tool
- Helper Utility class has now been included in the framework section
- Page object Model is given more focus and time
- Data Driven Framework Using JXL and POI library has been given more focus
- IDE and RC/Webdrived Backed references have been completely withdrawn
What has changed in this 1.31 version?
- Starting with this version CP-SAT is now available in three different language streams- 1. Java 2. C# and 3. Python
- In Java stream – Use of JXL library for Data Driven Testing has been removed. Participants can use the library but it is not mandatory to know the library from this version onwards
- Reference to some theoretical concepts including webdriver being flexible and having a lightweight API has been removed from the section “Running WebDriver tests section”.
Duration?
CP-SAT is designed specifically for corporates and working professionals alike. If you are a corporate you can opt for either 6 half days course or 3 full days course followed by an examination. Examination can be taken within 15 working days of the completion of the training.
