Docker for SDET & QA: Build, Test & Automate with Containers | Udemy

1. Master Docker for Test Automation (SDET/QA) — From Zero to Advanced

Unlock Docker mastery and elevate your QA/SDET career with industry-ready containerization skills.
Learn how to build, automate, and scale test environments using Docker, Dockerfiles, CI/CD pipelines, and modern DevOps practices.
Perfect for QA Engineers, Testers, Manual-to-Automation learners, SDETs, DevOps testers, and automation enthusiasts.

2. What You Will Learn (High-Impact Highlights)

1) Build & Manage Docker Containers for Test Automation

Containerize your UI, API, and backend test frameworks using Docker. Create Dockerfiles, build images, and run scalable containers.

2) Master CI/CD Pipelines with Docker Integration

Integrate Docker with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and automate your testing end-to-end with continuous feedback cycles.

3) Design Scalable Test Automation Frameworks

Learn how Docker + Docker Compose boost parallel execution, cross-browser testing, and environment stability.

4) Create Custom Dockerfiles for Selenium, API & More

Write optimized Dockerfiles to run Selenium Grid, API test suites, Postman/Newman tests, and backend automation setups.

5) Automate UI Testing with Docker and Selenium

Run WebDriver tests inside containers, improve parallel execution, and reduce run-time significantly.

6) Ensure Environment Consistency Across All Teams

Eliminate “works on my machine” issues with consistent, reproducible environments for developers, testers, and CI pipelines.

7) DevOps Integration for Automated Testing

See how Docker fits into modern DevOps workflows with CI/CD triggers, environment bootstrapping, versioning, and cloud execution.

8) Docker + Kubernetes for Scalable Testing

Learn orchestration concepts and run large-scale, performance, and distributed test workloads.

9) Docker for API & Web Service Testing

Containerize API automation frameworks, run Postman/Newman collections, and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.

10) Hands-On Real-World Projects

Work on practical automation scenarios used by top software companies today.

11) Best Practices for SDETs Using Docker

Image optimization, Dockerfile design patterns, caching, versioning, volumes, networks, and reusable test environments.

12) Advanced Docker Concepts for Automation Engineers

Multi-container networks, persistent data volumes, optimized resources, and test execution performance tuning.
