This course has been created for test managers, quality assurance staff, testers, software developers, project managers and management in order to explain how the Agile project management frameworks (notably SCRUM) deal with testing.
Selenium is an open source library for automating web application testing across multiple browsers. Selenium interacts with a browser as people do: by clicking links, filling out forms and validating text. It is the most popular tool for web application test automation. Selenium is built on the WebDriver framework and has excellent bindings for numerous scripting languages, including Python.
In this instructor-led, live training participants combine the power of Python with Selenium to automate the testing of a sample web application. By combining theory with practice in a live lab environment, participants will gain the knowledge and practice needed to automate their own web testing projects using Python and Selenium.
