Java for Testers

The ‘Java For Testers‘ book is for people who want to learn Java. Automation to support testing is not limited to testers anymore, so this book is suitable for anyone wanting to improve their use of Java in automation: managers, business analysts, users, and of course, testers.

By learning the basics of Java presented in this book, you ultimately will learn how to read and understand existing code bases, and write simple checks using JUnit quickly.

This ebook will guide you through using Java and is aimed exclusively at software testers. Testers use Java differently. As Alan states as a software tester he applies Java in a different way:

“Most Java books start with a ‘main’ class and show how to compile code and write simple applications from the command line, then build up into more Java constructs and GUI applications. When I write Java, I rarely compile it to a standalone application, I spend a lot of time in the IDE, writing and running small checks and refactoring to abstraction layers. ”

The Jave For Testers eBook will share how Java can be used for your test automation efforts and how best to apply it. It also contains source code for you to apply in your workplace.
