Perl has been used for years in QA for various tasks such as preparing configuration files before the tests run and parsing log files after the test. In the past few years a lot of extensions have been added to Perl. Now, in addition to the above tasks Perl can already be used in all parts of the automatic test environment. It can be used to behave like a regular user, move the mouse and click on buttons on any application running on Microsoft Windows or to become a web client and test any web based application.

In this course, we will overview how Perl can be used in automating Quality Assurance, apply Perl in various fields of Testing (such as GUI, Web, Networking), and use the Testing frameworks that come with Perl.
