Mastering Automation Testing with Selenium and Python

Compare manual and automation testing, debunk myths, and explain when to use each. Learn how automation accelerates regression, performance, and load testing while manual testing covers exploratory and adhoc testing.

Learn how locators in Selenium identify elements using id, name, XPath, CSS selectors, and DOM paths, and apply these strategies to automate a login page.

Master locators in Selenium by using id, name, class name and XPath, including relative and absolute XPath, and practice locating by link text to click through login flows.

Learn how selenium identifies and interacts with web elements using locator strategies like id, name, class name, and XPath, and practice actions such as click, send_keys, and clear.

Learn to handle radio buttons and checkboxes in selenium with python, using find element(s), xpath, and link text on a demo web shop, including remember me interactions.

Master selenium and python dropdown handling by using the select element to choose country by value, index, or visible text, demonstrated on a demo web shop's books page and cart.

Learn to work with the jQuery UI date picker in Selenium by switching into iframes, locating the date picker by ID, selecting a date, and retrieving its value.

Learn to handle alert boxes in Selenium by triggering an alert from the search button, switching to the alert, and accepting or dismissing it, using XPath to locate the button.

Master handling multiple windows in selenium by switching between the parent and child windows using window handles and the switch to window method, while reading data from the active window.

Master synchronization in Selenium by understanding implicit and explicit waits, and how page loading and heavy content affect element availability.

Learn how the implicit wait in Selenium acts as a dynamic global wait that pauses execution until elements load, with a configurable timeout (default zero) and examples using Python WebDriver.

Learn to implement explicit waits with WebDriverWait and expected conditions to synchronize tests, waiting dynamically until elements meet criteria such as title, visibility, or clickability.

Explore how to perform unit testing with Selenium and Python, create test cases using unittest, and use assertions to verify expected versus actual results.

Showcases unit testing with Selenium and Python by building Swag Labs tests that log in, validate the title, verify cart and checkout, and test logout with a Chrome driver.

Learn the page object model in Selenium with Python, creating an object repository for login, cart, and other elements to enable reusable, maintainable test automation across pages.

Implement a page object model with selenium python, using data.py for base url and credentials, a base page with common actions, and a login page that inherits it.

Master the page object model in Selenium with Python to define username, password, and login button by id on a base page, and implement a reusable login flow.

Explore behavior driven development with Selenium and Python, focusing on the Gherkin language, user stories, and converting Gherkin steps into automated Selenium Python scripts.

Learn to implement bdd with selenium and python by creating features and steps directories, writing .feature files using gherkin for login tests, and validating end-to-end flows.

Organize a selenium and Python project for behavior-driven development, install behave, and convert a feature file into executable steps with feature and step definitions.

write automation scripts using Selenium and Python, importing behave components, initializing a context driver, navigating to the landing page, entering credentials, and clicking login to verify the app logo appears.

Execute Selenium automation with Python in a behave BDD workflow, run features/login.feature, manage the driver, and assert text while reviewing console output.

Recap automation testing with Selenium and Python, covering element handling, waits, and page object model, plus unit testing (TDD) and BDD frameworks for hybrid Selenium scripts.
