This course will help you perform testing with Python automation using Selenium WebDriver. The course begins with the installation process of Python and Selenium. Next, you will cover the basics of Python and move on to grasp the important topics that will help you write flawless programs in Python. Moving ahead, you will run tests in different browsers with the help of the Selenium Python package. Next, you will run a unit test in Pytest testing framework and develop an end-to-end Selenium Python framework from scratch. Then, you will integrate the Selenium Python framework into the Jenkins Continuous Integration (CI) tool and read and write data from Excel to the Selenium Python framework. Toward the end, you will get an overview of Git and learn the importance of GitHub and its uses. You will understand staging and commit in Git as well as learn to resolve merge conflicts with Git. By the end of this course, you will be able to use Python and Selenium for performing automation testing of applications.
