Mastering Selenium in Python with pytest - 28 hours

Concepts

This practical course establishes a strong foundation for developing test automation scripts and frameworks in Python tailored for web-based applications. You'll delve into Selenium WebDriver, the de facto standard library for managing browsers, enabling automated interactions with the browser's user interface. Through this course, you'll gain mastery of best practices in test automation, ensuring that your scripts are not only robust but also easy to maintain. The combination of Selenium with pytest, a widely-used library for unit and functional test automation, provides a reliable framework for fulfilling all test automation needs.
