Selenium Webdriver with PYTHON from Scratch + Frameworks

Optimize your learning by adjusting video settings: choose 720p/1080p to avoid blur, set playback speed to 1.25–1.5, and watch in full screen for clear visibility.

Install python from python.org, choose your os, run the installer, and set system path including python and scripts. Verify with python --version and prepare for pip in the next lecture.

Mac users automatically have python in the path after installation, so you need not modify system variables; use python3 to verify via which python and post issues if needed.

Learn how pip installs and manages Python packages, like selenium, into a Python environment, and how PyCharm supports Python development.

Install PyCharm editor, create a new Python project, and set the local Python interpreter (system interpreter) to enable Selenium packages for Python automation.

Create your first Python program by printing to the console, add comments, and declare variables with no explicit types while exploring PyCharm's indentation and basic coding standards.

Learn to print a string and a variable together in Python using the format method with braces, and use type to identify integer, float, or string at run time.

discover python types: tuples are immutable, lists are mutable; use round brackets for tuples and square brackets for lists. explore dictionaries as key-value stores with curly braces; access by keys.

Create dictionaries at runtime by starting with an empty dictionary and adding key-value pairs. Print and read values by key, and apply this method to Excel-driven data and frameworks.

Master if and else conditions and loops in Python, grasp indentation and colon syntax, and see how Python's block structure differs from brace-based languages with practical examples.

Learn how Python for loops use range to control start, stop, and step values. See zero-based indexing, skipping indices, and iterating over lists, including single and multi-step ranges.

Learn how to define Python classes as blueprints, add methods and variables, and create objects to access data and perform operations, illustrated with a calculator example.

Learn Python inheritance, where a child class inherits and uses parent properties and methods, with import syntax and non-default constructor calls for framework automation.

Explore strings in Python, including indexing, slicing, concatenation, and substring checks with in. Learn to split by dot, trim via strip variants, and extract substrings for automation testing validations.

Learn to read and write text files in Python by opening a file, using read to print contents, writing back data, and closing the file to avoid memory leaks.

Learn to read files in Python with the read line and read lines methods, printing line by line with a while loop or iterating a list with for.

Explore how to raise exceptions and use assertions in Python to fail tests when conditions like cart item counts are not met; compare raise vs assertion.

Learn how to use Python's try and except blocks to handle exceptions, log errors, and prevent tests from failing when missing files or pop up appear.

Master invoking the Chrome browser with Selenium WebDriver in Python, including imports and interpreter setup. Understand Chrome driver service as the middleman between WebDriver and Chrome.

Run tests in chrome, firefox, and edge using a single driver object, and learn to maximize windows, fetch titles and current URLs.

Identify element attributes using developer tools and apply selenium locators (name, id, class, css, xpath) to fill a form, type data, and click to submit.

Learn to locate web elements with css selectors and name locators, build xpath for any element, and validate submit messages using assertions in selenium with Python.

Learn to identify and click web elements with xpath and css selectors in Selenium WebDriver, using id, name, and class attributes, and validate locators with the Chropath plugin.
