Automated UI Testing with Selenium and Python
Automate your browser, test like a pro—from finding elements to building scalable test suites with the Page Object Model.
About this course
This hands-on course shows you how to automate UI testing in Python with Selenium WebDriver, the browser automation tool trusted by QA engineers and test automation teams worldwide.
You’ll begin with the essentials: launching a browser, selecting elements, and simulating user interactions. Then you’ll level up by building structured test automation using pytest, and apply the Page Object Model (POM), a best-practice design pattern in UI test automation.
Your result: a complete Python-based UI test suite and the skills to automate interfaces, catch regressions, and test smarter in real projects.
