Java Test Automation Engineer

You will go from simple Java programs to covering a complex service with autotests. You will also learn how applications are structured and how to set up your own environment for autotesting. This is the bare minimum to start automating work tasks: emphasis on practice, nothing extra. During your studies, you will also undergo a professional acceleration program. In it, we will tell you how to prepare to move into the role of a test automation engineer or find a job in this field.
