There are 4 modules in this course

Learners will be able to design, implement, and execute reliable web automation tests using Selenium with Python, apply industry-standard frameworks and design patterns, and validate application behavior through scalable, maintainable test solutions.

This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Selenium automation testing using Python, guiding learners from foundational concepts to real-world implementation. It begins with core testing principles, Python basics, and Selenium WebDriver fundamentals, then progresses to interacting with web elements, handling dynamic content, and managing synchronization challenges. Learners will build structured test suites using Python unit testing frameworks and implement the Page Object Model (POM) to improve test readability and maintainability. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end approach that integrates technical automation skills with Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). Learners will write business-readable test scenarios using Gherkin, map them to executable automation steps, and run complete workflows that reflect real user behavior. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to build production-ready Selenium automation frameworks, interpret test results effectively, and apply best practices aligned with modern software development and QA workflows.

This module introduces learners to the core principles of software test automation and Selenium using Python. It establishes a strong conceptual foundation by explaining the differences between manual and automation testing, the role of Python in automation, and the basics of Selenium WebDriver. Learners also gain essential skills in identifying web elements using effective locator strategies, preparing them for hands-on automation in subsequent modules.
