  • Use the four quadrants of testing to design an effective test plan for an application

  • Convert Acceptance Criteria for a User Story into executable tests using Cucumber and Gherkin

  • Use Selenium to implement tests of a web application, including clicking links, entering data, selecting radio buttons, handling pop ups, and validating results

  • Create tests for an API using HTTP requests

  • Explain and use Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD), Test Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior Driven Development (BDD)

  • Use automated QA tools to

    • Evaluate performance of a web site under load,
