COURSE DESCRIPTION

Automation testing using Selenium Python
I. Python Fundamentals
* Core Python Concepts: Data types (integers, floats, strings, booleans), variables, operators, control flow statements (if-else, loops), collections (lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets), functions, and object-oriented programming (OOP) principles (classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, abstraction).
* Exception Handling: try-except blocks, exception types, and raising exceptions.
* File Handling: Reading and writing files.
* Modules and Packages: Importing and using modules and packages.
* Working with Libraries: Understanding and using standard Python libraries.
II. Introduction to Automation Testing
* What is Automation Testing? Benefits, types of testing, and when to automate.
* Test Automation Frameworks: Overview of popular frameworks (e.g., pytest, unittest).
* Setting up the Environment: Installing Python, setting up a virtual environment (recommended), and installing necessary libraries.
III. Selenium WebDriver
* Introduction to Selenium: Architecture, components, and advantages.
* WebDriver Basics: Setting up WebDriver, browser drivers, and interacting with web elements (locators, actions).
* Locating Elements: Different locators (ID, name, XPath, CSS selectors) and strategies for finding elements.
* Handling Web Elements: Interacting with buttons, text boxes, dropdowns, tables, and other web elements.
* Waits: Implicit and explicit waits to handle synchronization issues.
* Handling Alerts, Pop-ups, and Frames: Working with different types of browser notifications.
* Actions Chain: Performing advanced user interactions (mouse movements, keyboard actions, drag and drop).
* JavaScript Execution: Executing JavaScript commands in the browser.
* Taking Screenshots: Capturing screenshots for test results and debugging.
* Cross-Browser Testing: Running tests on different browsers.
IV. Test Automation Frameworks (pytest/unittest)
* Setting up pytest/unittest: Installing and configuring the framework.
* Writing Test Cases: Creating test functions and classes.
* Assertions: Using assertions to validate test results.
* Test Discovery: Running tests automatically.
* Fixtures (pytest)/setUp and tearDown (unittest): Setting up and tearing down test environments.
* Test Suites: Grouping and running multiple test cases.
* Reporting: Generating test reports (e.g., using plugins like pytest-html).
