Automation in Testing Online - Cohort edition Three weeks of hands-on online automation training that gives you the skills to strategise, create, use and educate others about automation that supports your testing.
Intro
Automation is everywhere, it’s popularity and uptake has rocketed in recent years and it’s showing little sign of slowing down. So in order to be successful with automation, all you need to know how to code, right?
No. While knowing how to code is a great tool in your toolbelt, there is far more to automation than writing code. Beyond learning to code you need to be able to determine the answers to these questions:
- What tests you should create?
- What data your tests require?
- What layer in your application you should write them at?
- What language or framework to use?
- If your testability is good enough?
- If it’s helping you solve your testing problems?
- What value you are getting from automation?
Answering those questions is significantly harder than writing the code. Yet our industry is pushing people straight into code and bypassing the theory. Automation in Testing Online aims to help you answer those questions by focusing on not just creating automation, but working out opportunities to use automation as well as advocate for good practises and uses of automation in your team.
By taking you on a journey through a life cycle of planning, creating, using and educating others in good automation practises. The Automation in Testing Online course can offer learning opportunities for a wide range of people such as:
- Those looking to get into automation
- Those who already automate but are looking to improve their skills
- Those who need to manage or coach others who build automation
This is achieved through a three week online training course that combines blended learning techniques to help you get the most out of our training. Throughout the course you’ll take part in:
- Online classrooms with engaging activities that have you roleplaying as specialists in automation, tasked with automating a modern web application
- Self-guided activities that will have you exploring a wide range of automation techniques, with support from your instructors

What is a Cohort?
In the context of this training, a cohort is simply a group of people who will be learning together. By signing up to this course you are joining a group of individuals who will attend each of the online classrooms with you and support during self-learning activities.
What will I need to bring to the training?
As this is an online event you will need:
- Strong stable Wifi that will enable you to connect to the training
- A headset and Webcam so you can collaborate with your fellow attendees and Mark and Richard
- A PC running, OS X, Linux or Windows
The rest of the pre-requisite tools to install will be sent to you before the training. Mark and Richard also offer support with setup if you get stuck.
Do I need to be already currently working in automation to attend this course?
This course caters for every level of experience of working in an automation context. If you do work with automation already, we believe this course will provide you with numerous new ways to think and talk about automation, allowing you to maximise your skills in the workplace.
If you don’t, this course will show you that the majority of skill in automation is about risk identification, strategy and test design, and you can add a lot of value to automation efforts within testing.
I don’t have any programming skills, should I attend?
Yes. The online courses will be made available several months before the class, allowing you to establish a foundation ready for the face to face class. Then full support will be available from us and other attendees during the class.
I don’t work in the webspace, should I attend?
The majority of the tooling we will use and demo is web-based, however, AiT is a mindset, so we believe you will benefit from attending the class and learning a theory to apply to any product/language.
I’m a manager who is interested in strategy but not programming, should I attend?
Yes, one of the core drivers to educate others in identifying and strategizing problems before automating them. We will offer techniques and teach you skills to become better at analysing your context and using that information to build a plan towards successful automation.
What languages and tools will we be using?
The current setup is using Java and JS. Importantly though, we focus more on the thinking then the implementation, so while we’ll be reading and writing code, the languages are just a vehicle for the context of the class.
