How to Get Certified in Test Automation
Kasper Fehrend
When a company decides to adopt new methods or change existing processes, for example by rolling out new software, it often requires that employees upgrade their skill set or learn completely new skills. One way to ensure that an employee has the required skills is to rely on certification. The same goes for consultants who need to document that they are proficient in the tasks they are hired to do.
When it comes to certifications within test automation, several of them are limited to specific frameworks or methods which means that they are quite narrow in how applicable they are. That’s why we offer our users to become certified in the Leapwork Automation Platform which relies on the same approach to designing automation flows across technologies. Leapwork users do no have to worry about underlying frameworks to become proficient in test automation.
