The Uncodemy automation testing course builds from Java foundations to Selenium, TestNG, frameworks, and CI/CD over 12 intensive weeks.

Quick summary — automation testing course modules week by week

Yes — a structured 12-week automation testing course takes you from Java basics to Selenium frameworks, API testing, and CI/CD. Each week builds on the last, with hands-on labs and real projects so you graduate job-ready.

In this guide you will learn:

  1. Weeks 1-3: Java foundations and Selenium intro.
  2. Weeks 4-6: WebDriver deep dive and TestNG.
  3. Weeks 7-9: Framework design, Maven, Git, Jenkins.
  4. Weeks 10-12: API testing, CI/CD, and capstone project.
  5. Weekly deliverables — what you build each week.
  6. Tools & technologies — everything you'll master.

SECTION 01Weeks 1-3 — Java foundations & Selenium intro

Weeks 1-3 · Foundations

The first three weeks give you the programming foundation every automation tester needs. You'll learn Java from scratch and write your first Selenium script.

Week 1
Java Basics & OOP
Variables, data types, operators, control flow, loops, arrays, and methods. Then classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
Week 2
Java Advanced & Collections
Exception handling, file I/O, collections framework (List, Set, Map), generics, and an introduction to Maven project structure.
Week 3
Selenium WebDriver Introduction
What is Selenium, WebDriver architecture, setting up your first project, browser drivers, and writing your first test that opens a browser and clicks an element.

What you'll build in weeks 1-3

A Java console application and your first Selenium script that automates a login flow on a demo website.

Setup checklist: JDK, IntelliJ IDEA / Eclipse, Maven, ChromeDriver / GeckoDriver, Selenium JARs.
Key insight: Don't skip Java. Every advanced Selenium concept — Page Objects, TestNG listeners, custom frameworks — is written in Java. Strong Java = strong automation career.

SECTION 02Weeks 4-6 — WebDriver deep dive & TestNG

Weeks 4-6 · Core Automation

Weeks 4-6 are the heart of the course. You'll master Selenium WebDriver and learn TestNG, the testing framework used in most automation projects.

Week 4
Locators, Waits & Interactions
XPath, CSS selectors, ID, name, class, link text. Implicit, explicit, and fluent waits. Handling dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and mouse/keyboard actions with the Actions class.
Week 5
Frames, Windows, Alerts & JavaScript
Switching between frames and windows, handling alerts and pop-ups, executing JavaScript, taking screenshots, and handling file uploads/downloads.
Week 6
TestNG Framework
Annotations (@Test, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod), assertions, test prioritization, grouping, parameterization, data providers, listeners, and parallel execution.

What you'll build in weeks 4-6

A TestNG test suite that automates a multi-page e-commerce checkout flow with data providers and parallel execution.

Pro tip: Master XPath and explicit waits — 80% of Selenium interview questions come from these two topics.
Key point: TestNG is the industry standard for Selenium test management. Reporters, listeners, and data providers are what separate beginners from professionals.

SECTION 03Weeks 7-9 — Framework design & DevOps tools

Weeks 7-9 · Framework Architecture

Weeks 7-9 move you from writing scripts to building maintainable automation frameworks — exactly what employers pay for.

Week 7
Page Object Model (POM)
Design patterns for test automation. Page Object Model, Page Factory, BaseTest, BasePage, and separating test logic from page interaction.
Week 8
Data-Driven & Hybrid Frameworks
Reading test data from Excel, CSV, and JSON. Apache POI, Property files, and building a hybrid framework that combines POM with data-driven testing.
Week 9
Maven, Git & Jenkins
Maven project management and dependencies, Git version control, branching strategies, and Jenkins CI for scheduling automated test runs.

What you'll build in weeks 7-9

A complete hybrid automation framework with POM, data-driven tests, Maven build, Git repository, and Jenkins job that runs tests on every commit.

This framework becomes the centerpiece of your automation testing portfolio.
Key insight: Employers don't hire people who write scripts. They hire people who design frameworks. Weeks 7-9 teach you exactly that.

SECTION 04Weeks 10-12 — API testing, CI/CD & capstone

Weeks 10-12 · Advanced & Job-Ready

The final three weeks cover modern automation demands: API testing, BDD, Docker basics, and a capstone project that brings everything together.

Week 10
API Testing with RestAssured
REST API fundamentals, HTTP methods, status codes, JSON/XML parsing, RestAssured, Postman, and integrating API tests with your Selenium framework.
Week 11
BDD with Cucumber & Docker Basics
Behavior-Driven Development, Gherkin syntax, Cucumber with Selenium, step definitions, hooks, and Docker basics for running tests in containers.
Week 12
Capstone Project & Interview Prep
Build an end-to-end automation project: UI + API + CI/CD. Then resume building, mock interviews, and automation testing interview question practice.

What you'll build in weeks 10-12

A full-stack automation project that tests a web application's UI and APIs, runs in Jenkins, and reports results — your strongest portfolio piece.

This capstone is what you'll present in interviews. It proves you can handle real projects end-to-end.

SECTION 05Weekly deliverables — your portfolio

Every week produces a tangible deliverable. By the end of 12 weeks, you have a portfolio that proves your skills:

  • Week 1: Java console application with OOP principles.
  • Week 2: Collections & exception handling exercises.
  • Week 3: First Selenium script automating a login flow.
  • Week 4: Locator & wait practice suite.
  • Week 5: Multi-window & frame handling tests.
  • Week 6: TestNG suite with data providers & parallel execution.
  • Week 7: Page Object Model implementation.
  • Week 8: Data-driven hybrid framework.
  • Week 9: Maven + Git + Jenkins pipeline.
  • Week 10: RestAssured API test suite.
  • Week 11: Cucumber BDD tests + Docker setup.
  • Week 12: End-to-end capstone project + GitHub portfolio.
Key insight: By week 12, you have 12+ portfolio pieces. That's what gets you interviews — not just a certificate.
