• Challenge Evaluation Description: Application server - Apache Tomcat Description: Junit and TestNG library Description: Eclipse (preferred) Description: Xampp Description: Katalon Recorder Description: JAVA Learning Activities to support the intended learning The course consists of four lecture hours per week. The classroom sessions will be used to introduce various concepts using slides, live demos and discussion examples. Students will periodically have the opportunity to put these concepts into practice using their laptop computers during some of the in-class sessions, and research assignments. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition If you intend to apply for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) to earn college credits for knowledge and skills acquired through previous life and work experience, you will need to demonstrate competency at a post- secondary level in the course learning outcomes outlined above. Academic and administrative standards for PLAR are specified in Policy A124. The type of evaluation method used will be determined by a subject matter expert to provide evidence of learning through a: College Grading Final Grade Range Grade Point Final Grade Range Grade Point A+ 90% - 100% 4.2 A 80% - 89% 4.0 INFO-6105 - Automated Test Tools, Page 4/9 © 2023 Fanshawe College of Applied Arts & Technology

Graduation from approved College programs requires a student to complete the program curriculum, to meet its academic standards and to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (C grade), except in Applied Degree programs, where a student must achieve a minimum average GPA of 2.5 (C+) in vocational courses and a GPA of 2.0 (C) in all other courses. This course is NOT upgradeable under college policy 2-C-04. Missed Evaluations A student must inform the instructor PRIOR to the commencement of a normally scheduled examination or test that he/she will be absent from the examination/test. Failure to do so will result in a mark of zero for that examination/test. If a student misses an evaluation due to exceptional circumstances, e.g. serious illness, bereavement, an opportunity may be provided to reschedule the evaluation. It is expected that the student has provided prior notification to the course Professor. Immediately upon return from the absence during which an evaluation worth 20% or more was missed, the student is responsible for submitting a written request for a rescheduling opportunity to the course Professor. This request must be submitted via email and state the reason(s) for the absence and be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation. Rescheduled opportunities should be provided as soon as possible after the original date, depending on the circumstances. Most rescheduled examinations will be offered in the Testing Centre. For missed evaluations worth 10% or less, the make-up of these evaluations is at the discretion of the professor. The request form must still be filled out but no fee is required.

Tests and exams for the online offering of this course may require proctored invigilation to ensure academic integrity as per college policy. A student who cannot appear on campus for a scheduled test or exam may have the option to request the use of one of the following off-campus options for a fee: Write a test/exam online with a remote proctoring service Write at an authorized testing center Please note: Any test or exam that is not proctored at a Fanshawe campus may require a service fee that must be paid for by the student. The service fee will vary depending on the option chosen by the student. In addition, it is the sole responsibility of the student to notify the instructor in advance of the scheduled test/exam date (normally 4 weeks prior) if there is an intention to use an alternative proctoring option. The student is also responsible for locating and/or registering for an off-campus or virtual live proctor and for providing the details to the instructor and/or the testing center in advance.

student looking for career counselling, take advantage of the many services available to you as a Fanshawe student at: https://www.fanshawec.ca/students/life Office of the Registrar For all admissions and registration related information, visit: https://www.fanshawec.ca/admission-finance/registrars- office Regarding Proctoring Some courses make use of remote proctoring for tests and examinations, where required. Remote proctoring involves the use of external software tools and service providers to help maintain academic integrity of tests, and exams. Fanshawe College utilizes both live virtual proctoring where a proctor oversees the test or exam from a remote location, and monitoring tools that record video of a test session for review. You can sign-up through Fanshawe Online for your proctored test. Remote proctoring allows for you to have a convenient and secure way to complete evaluations from your home, or chosen location, while ensuring the academic integrity of your Fanshawe credential. For information on Fanshawe College’s privacy policy, please consult Policies Home: https://public.myfanshawe.ca/policies/Pages/default.aspx Should you have any concerns around participating in your test or exam using remote proctoring, you need to contact your professor at least two weeks prior to your test. If necessary, alternative arrangements will be made, depending on your personal circumstances. Regarding Recording Pre-recordings of class materials and concepts are frequently provided as part of the online learning experience at Fanshawe College and are the property of Fanshawe College. Online class sessions may be recorded by professors for students to review for study purposes. Recordings are available within the course site in Fanshawe’s learning management system, and are only available to those registered in the course site. Class recordings are only for course use, and will not be distributed for other purposes. Students have the right to opt out of being recorded and should notify their professor in advance of a session.
