Efficient Web Testing with Selenium and Python: A Practical Approach

Course Objectives :

  • The Selenium Using Python course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of automation testing using Selenium WebDriver and Python. Throughout the course, participants will learn the fundamentals of automation testing, including the advantages of automation over manual testing. They will gain proficiency in Python programming, covering essential concepts such as variables, data types, control flow, functions, and exception handling. Participants will then dive into Selenium, exploring its various components, including Selenium WebDriver, Selenium Grid, and Selenium IDE. They will learn how to effectively use locators, such as ID, class, name, XPath, and CSS selectors, to identify and interact with web elements. The course also focuses on mastering the WebElement class in Selenium, enabling participants to perform actions on web elements and handle different types of elements commonly found in web applications.
  • Participants will gain valuable skills in handling popups, windows, and synchronization techniques to ensure smooth test execution. The course emphasizes unit testing with Selenium, allowing participants to integrate Selenium with popular Python unit testing frameworks like PyTest and unittest. They will learn to write test cases, execute them, and generate reports for analysis. Additionally, participants will be introduced to the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern, learning how to implement it in their automation frameworks to create modular and maintainable test scripts.

Course Description:
