This program will cover successful approaches to automated software testing for the web using such test tools as Python and its packages such as BeautifulSoup, Selenium, and Pytest as well as Postman and JMeter. It is ideally suited for technical professionals with some programming experience who wish to learn the skills to build and deliver automated testing solutions. Students will gain an understanding of how to use tools available for software testing as well as the underlying concepts of automated software testing. students will also learn how to perform load testing, do visual testing, and how automated testing fits in with continuous integration.
