A Bulletproof approach to automation fundamentals Python is one of themostpopular languages in the world, and the demand for it is only increasing. Selenium is an industry standard for test automation, soPython's readability make the two a perfect match for writingvaluable automated tests.
Browser automation is in high demand as software testing costs rise and the software industry explodes in size. Unfortunately, engineers interested in automation have little in the way of concrete guidance on how to be successful, or what properly written automation code even looks like.
The most widely circulated videos on these topicsspeak only to the technologies themselves, and do not offer viable implementation guidance or valuableindustry practices. Ihave made these valuablepractices the focus of this course.
Content and OverviewSuitable for those comfortable with basic Python and Object-Oriented Programming concepts, these lectures build a rock-solid foundation of skills required to automate at a professional level.
Beginning with a step-by-step setup of the development environment using Virtual Environments (a must for aspiringPython developers) and Selenium setup, this course allows you to watch as Iwalk you through each step, explaining as we go.
Once the environment is readywe will discuss how web elements work, andhow the best and fastestautomation engineers (a rare breed!) identify them for automation. I will demonstrate each concept in real time as a conversation. That means you will spend almost NO time watching traditionallectures or slides, and almost all your time seeing the concepts in action or following along with me.
Students completing the course will have the knowledge to begin a career in entry-level browser automated testing,or to automate their browser for any number of useful purposes to include data-scraping and task automation.
Equipped with code samples,code challenges,short quizzes, and info-rich videos,you’ll have no trouble following along with the concepts, and Iam always available for questions.
Finally, automating is a blast, and Iwish more people did it. Let me rephrase that - Iwish more people did it, and did it well!We need more people like you executing effective, high-value automation solutions, so let's get started on this journey together!
