Overview

This course provides a structured journey into Python programming and Selenium automation. Starting with a solid foundation in Python, you'll learn to install the necessary tools and write your first program. As you progress, you'll explore Python's data types, variables, and control flow, building a robust understanding of programming fundamentals. Intermediate modules focus on object-oriented programming principles and file handling in Python, with hands-on examples to develop practical skills in writing and reading files, handling exceptions, and implementing core OOP concepts. These skills are essential for writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code. The final part of the course introduces Selenium, where you'll set up the Selenium Python package and learn to automate browser interactions. From invoking browsers to executing basic WebDriver commands and running tests on different browsers, you'll gain the expertise needed to streamline your testing processes. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped to automate web testing using Python and Selenium efficiently. This course is ideal for beginners and professionals looking to automate testing processes. No prior experience in Python or Selenium is required, although a basic understanding of programming concepts is beneficial.

Syllabus

Python Testing and its Importance

In this module, we will delve into the importance of Python in the realm of test automation. We'll explore why Selenium is a preferred choice for many and compare its advantages with other automation tools.

Complete Installation Guide for Python and Selenium Learning

In this module, we will guide you through the complete installation process for Python on different platforms. We'll cover the setup of the PyCharm editor and demonstrate how to use PIP clients to manage Python packages.

Getting Started with Python Basics

In this module, we will start with the basics of Python programming by writing a simple 'Hello World' program. We'll explore various data types and essential programming concepts in Python.

Understanding Python Data Types and Variables

In this module, we will delve deeper into Python data types, focusing on lists, tuples, and dictionaries. We'll learn how to perform operations on these data types and create dictionaries dynamically.

Program Flow Control in Python

In this module, we will explore program flow control in Python. We'll cover conditional statements, the importance of code indentation, and how to use loops and functions effectively in your programs.

Understanding Object-Oriented Principles of Python

In this module, we will focus on object-oriented programming (OOP) principles in Python. We'll cover classes, objects, constructors, inheritance, and string functions with practical examples.

Reading and Writing Files in Python

In this module, we will learn how to read and write files in Python. We'll cover important methods for file handling and demonstrate how to efficiently manipulate text files.

Exception Handling Mechanism

In this module, we will focus on exception handling in Python. We'll learn how to raise exceptions, implement the try-catch mechanism, and use the 'finally' block to ensure proper cleanup.

Selenium Python Package Setup with Different Browser Execution

In this module, we will set up the Selenium Python package and demonstrate how to execute browser automation scripts. We'll cover basic WebDriver methods and show you how to run tests on different browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
