Course Overview

This training program provides Quality Assurance engineers and automation testers with the specialized skills needed to validate Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) implementations. Participants will explore the underlying architecture of AEM, spanning Author and Publish environments, CRXDE, and the OSGi console. The curriculum covers key verification processes including authoring behaviors, asset management workflows, and dispatcher caching behavior. Throughout the course, you will build robust, automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver, Maven, and AEM Mocks to streamline regression and integration testing.

Who Should Learn

Quality Assurance Engineers and Software Testers entering the AEM space
Automation Test Engineers specializing in Java and Selenium frameworks
AEM Developers aiming to write thorough integration and functional test suits
Technical Test Leads managing multi-tenant content management deployments

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of core web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JSON data structures
  • Prior exposure to fundamental manual testing workflows or basic Java programming concepts

Learning Outcomes

Navigate, configure, and isolate errors across AEM Author, Publish, and OSGi administration consoles
Execute comprehensive functional verification of content components, operational templates, and complex web forms
Configure programmatic AEM Mock configurations to write isolated Java unit and integration tests
Build modular automated user interface test scripts utilizing Selenium WebDriver alongside Maven and TestNG
Validate Dispatcher cache structures, invalidation rules, and edge-side cache flush requests
Perform automated API and data validation testing on AEM endpoints using Postman and Rest Assured
Integrate automated AEM testing suites into continuous delivery workflows using Jenkins server instances

Frequently Asked Questions

While foundational familiarity with automated concepts helps, the course guides you step-by-step from manual core AEM testing concepts to building advanced automation suites using Selenium and Java.
You will learn how to verify that static and dynamic pages cache correctly on the web server layer, test how cache invalidation rules trigger upon site replication, and troubleshoot flush configuration bugs.
The course comprehensively addresses both models, covering traditional page layout component testing via browser automation alongside headless API validation using JSON parsers.
