Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach — your interactive learning companion that helps you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress. Kickstart your journey into Python programming and web automation with this hands-on course that combines programming fundamentals with the power of Selenium WebDriver. Whether you’re an aspiring automation engineer, developer, or QA professional, you’ll gain the skills to write efficient code and automate real-world web applications with confidence. You’ll begin by setting up your Python environment and mastering the essentials — variables, data types, and operators — before progressing to more advanced concepts like lists, dictionaries, tuples, and control flow. Through guided exercises, you’ll practice writing clean, reusable code using functions, methods, and object-oriented programming principles. Once you’ve built a strong programming foundation, you’ll transition to Selenium WebDriver, learning how to automate browsers and test web applications end-to-end. You’ll explore key topics like inspecting elements, creating dynamic XPaths, and using tools such as SelectorsHub to streamline automation. Each module includes practical labs that bring your learning to life, from writing your first automated test to handling complex workflows. By the end of this course, you will have: - Developed a solid understanding of Python fundamentals and OOP. - Built automation scripts using Selenium WebDriver. - Learned to locate and interact with web elements across browsers. - Gained the confidence to apply Python and Selenium in professional testing or development environments. No prior Python experience is required, though a basic understanding of web technologies is helpful. This course is ideal for learners who want to turn foundational coding skills into practical automation expertise.
