This instructor-led, live training in Cascais is tailored for anyone keen on learning Java specifically for test automation. It is a streamlined, intensive course packed with hands-on exercises designed to help participants quickly acquire the essential programming skills required for software automation testing. The emphasis is squarely on Java fundamentals that can be directly and immediately applied to test automation.

This course does not delve into advanced test automation frameworks such as Selenium. Furthermore, it skips the traditional "Hello World" approach to learning Java, as it is not an application development course. The primary goal is to get participants up and running with test automation as quickly as possible. If you are already proficient in Java and wish to move directly into testing with Selenium, please consider: Introduction to Selenium (https://www.nobleprog.com/introduction-selenium-training).

In this instructor-led live workshop training in Cascais (online or onsite), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to better understand the problems experienced by end-users of a product or service, then develop the best approach for resolving them.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use creative strategies to match customers' needs with technologically feasible solutions.
• Formulate a strategy to increase customer value and enhance product and service offerings.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today's increasingly complex world, we frequently encounter challenges that demand specialised approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complexities. By mastering design thinking, individuals can address intricate problems effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, drive improved business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and personal behaviour and performance.

• How DT functions: learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (understanding model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The interplay between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: cultivating a design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approaches, agile estimation techniques, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological fluency, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice DT.

Delivery:

This is a one-day (4-hour) training course comprising:

• Lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• Group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• Individual activities (15% - writing, designing, and peer discussion)
• And other activities (15% - videos, reading).

Note: Due to the nature of this course, a minimum group size of 3 participants is required.
