Get started in test automation. Learn how to integrate automated testing into your QA or DevOps workflow.

The Test Automation with Python series from Headspin University is designed to teach automation skills and tools for testing applications in Appium and Selenium, the world's most popular UI automation tools. But before getting into the automation itself, this first course delves into the concept of testing, from the etymology of the word, to how to design useful tests for your software. While using software as it is meant to be run seems like an obvious test, it’s also helpful and necessary to imagine conditions for the software that its developers might not have thought about. The history of automation is also covered, highlighting the fact that most software is in fact a form of automation. After this course, you’ll have a solid foundation of automated testing and be ready to move on to the next course in the series.

This installment of the Test Automation with Python takes a look at scaling your test suite so that you can run multiple tests at a time. Eventually your test suite will grow large enough that waiting for tests to complete one by one just doesn’t make sense. This course covers the complications that come with running multiple tests in parallel and details what you need to successfully run your test suite. And while running your tests in an isolated environment is an important part of the process, this course demonstrates the importance of testing them out in a continuous integration environment as well. The course finishes with techniques for debugging your tests, along with best practices for speed, reliability, and maintainability in your test suite.

This second course in the Test Automation with Python series focuses on writing code to automate software testing. As opposed to no-code tests where you record your actions in an app for later playback, writing code for automation gives you more flexibility in many cases, such as when a small change to the app causes the testing process to change. This course also explains the choice of Python as the programming language. While Java is probably the most popular language used with Selenium and Appium, it can lead to unnecessary complexity and confusion unless you know it well. Python, meanwhile, is powerful, simple, and expressive, and in some ways is more flexible in terms of executing UI test automation. This course walks you through the entire process, from installing Python, to writing your first script, all the way through completion, testing, and troubleshooting your code.

In this installment of the Test Automation with Python, the focus turns from automation to testing. Learn what it means to think like a tester and how to design and run tests on the automation you’ve created with Appium. Key topics covered include knowing what to test so you can run your tests more efficiently, setting up a test runner, working with the page object model, and testing the capabilities of your app on multiple platforms.
