Selenium for Python developers

As an integral part of agile methodology and practices, test automation became hot and unavoidable. This course will give you an excellent introduction into the world of test automation.

In a first stage the course establishes the basis by using the popular Selenium Webdriver to run Python tests using selenium. Different element recognition and verification methods are explored and explained. You will be able to practice your automation capabilities and each of the methods in a prepared test environment.

In a second stage you will take the scripting to the next level by using Behave to run Gherkin scripts, a keyword driven language.

Agile automation testers living automation daily have compiled this training to share their experience with users like you to get you kick started and avoid you make the same mistakes.

At the end of this course, the participant will:

  • have insight how a state-of-the art website is built
  • have practical experience setting up Python tests supported by Behave
  • be able to create & implement BDD scenarios
  • know how to initiate Python tests through Behave
  • be able to interact with a web app through Selenium Webdriver
  • know how to use different selectors to find and validate different web page elements
