Python for Test Automation
Connect Python fundamentals with pytest fixtures, parametrized tests, and API testing workflows.
Who this is planned for
Testers interested in Python-based testing and reusable automation scripts.
Suggested starting point
Basic software testing knowledge; no prior Python required.
