# TestingBot Selenium Java Certification

Free. Prove you can use what the [Selenium Java Tutorial with TestNG](https://testingbot.com/resources/courses/selenium-testng) course teaches, not just that you read it: pass a timed exam, then run the course suite on TestingBot.

The exam and the practical are tied to your TestingBot account, so sign in to start. A free account is enough.

## How it works

1. 1

### Step 1: The exam

20 questions drawn from 30, 30 minutes, pass mark 80%. Not the knowledge-check questions. Explanations after grading; retake after 24 hours, up to 3 attempts in 7 days.

2. 2

### Step 2: Run your parallel TestNG suite on TestingBot

3 passing browser tests in the build `certificate-selenium-testng` on 2 different browser configurations, in the last 30 days.

How to run it

Run the course's TestNG suite (or your own) on the TestingBot grid in parallel, in at least two browser and platform combinations, with every session in one build named `certificate-selenium-testng` and its pass/fail status reported.

  1. Set up the `DriverFactory` and the final `BaseTest` from [Run the suite on a Selenium grid](https://testingbot.com/resources/courses/selenium-testng/run-on-a-selenium-grid). The factory puts `build` in the `tb:options` map from the `build` system property (the same `tb:options` `build` key the [TestNG docs](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/selenium/java/testng) use).

  2. Use `testng-grid.xml` from that chapter: one `<test>` block per browser and platform (for example Chrome on `WIN11` and Firefox on `SONOMA`) with `parallel="tests"` or `parallel="methods"`, and the `ThreadLocal` driver from [Run Selenium tests in parallel](https://testingbot.com/resources/courses/selenium-testng/parallel-execution).

  3. Keep the `@AfterMethod` that runs `tb:test-result=passed` or `tb:test-result=failed` through the JavaScript executor before `quit()` ([annotating tests](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/selenium/annotating-tests)).

  4. Export `TB_KEY` and `TB_SECRET` and run:

  5. Open the `certificate-selenium-testng` build in the TestingBot dashboard and check that at least three sessions are marked passed across at least two configurations.
