Test automation with Selenium WebDriver in Python

The course describes in detail the use of Selenium WebDriver in the programming language. It demonstrates how to test websites with automated tests and how to write Selenium WebDriver test cases. It demonstrates how to open web pages, check their content, fill in forms, etc. using a real application and practical examples.

The course is aimed at testers and developers who want to master the theory and practice of automated testing using Selenium WebDriver in their programming language at a high level.
