In this post, I will discuss the best selenium tutorials that you can find online in 2019.
Rather than wasting time with poor tutorials, I wanted to provide you the most useful content.
Most of these tutorials I have watched myself and the others I analyzed thoroughly to make sure that it’s quality and should be recommended to you.
To serve you better, I provided the cost of the course, the author, and the technologies that are used in the course…
That way you can target your technology of choice.
Below is my list of these best selenium tutorials.

Complete Selenium WebDriver with C# – Build a Framework
Price: $299 $9.99
Author: Nikolay Advolodkin
Topics Learned: Complete Framework Development with C# and Selenium
Yes, this is a shameless plug for my course, but in all honesty, this is probably the best Selenium with C# course out there…
I’m always looking myself… And I can’t find another one.
But take a look for yourself here.
Here’s the kicker:
Furthermore, this course is the only course in the world that will teach you how to build your own automation framework from scratch.
And provide you the lifelong skill of framework development.
No other course in the world does this… Please Google and find another similar course…
I’ve tried unsuccessfully 🙁
Some of the topics that you will learn are:
– Selenium WebDriver from A to Z
– The Page Object Model, the most effective way to create automation testing frameworks
– C# for beginners to make you efficient at coding frameworks

Setting a Foundation For Successful Test Automation
Price: $Free
Author: Angie Jones
Topics Learned: Test automation strategy
This is a new course that was released on January 1st 2019 by Test Automation University from Applitools. This course is not a strict Selenium tutorial.
The reason that this course is here is because this course is fundamental to all test automation, regardless of technology.
Most clients that I work with suffer from some or all of the topics covered here. Knowing Selenium well won’t help them if they don’t have the right foundational automation knowledge.
Some of the topics that you will learn are:
– Designing a test automation strategy so that your project can actually succeed with automation
– Creating a culture for test automation success
– Developing for test automatability was my favorite section. This showed great examples of strategies to take to overcome the many challenges of UI automation. Ultimately, reducing flakiness and increasing trust in automation

Have you taken a phenomenal course that you think I should list here? Please comment below and let me know 🙂
Nice article!
Would you use Selenium to test a web application built using Angular? Are there any cons? I see a lot of other tools available but really don’t know if it means that selenium could be harder to use to test Angular applications
100% would use it. Selenium works absolutely fine. Definitely stay away from Protractor https://dev.to/davert/5-reasons-you-should-not-use-protractor-in-2019-3l4b
However, if you have other options like using tools like Jest, doing unit testing, component testing with JS native tooling, that’s the better approach.
You can use Selenium to touch up some of the missing test edges.
