Automation Testing with Python & Selenium: Master Practical Skills for Real World

AUTOMATION TESTING WITH PYTHON & SELENIUM - SECOND EDITION Build practical automation skills with Python and Selenium and progress from your first browser test to a maintainable, enterprise-style automation framework. Automation Testing with Python & Selenium - Second Edition is a hands-on, project-driven guide for students, aspiring automation testers, manual QA professionals transitioning to automation, and working QA engineers who want stronger framework and engineering skills. Instead of teaching Selenium as a collection of isolated scripts, this book follows a structured learning path. You will learn the fundamentals, build reusable automation components, and progressively evolve them into a professional framework using PyTest, Page Object Model, configuration management, test data, logging, reporting, Git, CI/CD, Docker, API testing, and AI-assisted testing techniques. Throughout the book, you will work with a realistic GlobalShop QA project that brings the concepts together into one continuous automation journey.
