COURSE OVERVIEW

════════
When it comes to automation software testing with Python, the most commonly used framework is Selenium, which allows you to automate web browser interactions by mimicking user actions like clicking buttons and filling forms, effectively testing the functionality of web applications through Python scripts; other popular Python frameworks for automation testing include Pytest for unit testing, Robot Framework for acceptance testing, and Behave for behavior-driven development (BDD) with human-readable test descriptions.
