Browser Automation with Python and Selenium

Python is one of the most popular languages in the world and its demand is only growing with each passing day. As Selenium is an industry-standard for test automation, Python's readability makes the two a perfect match for writing valuable automated tests.

Browser automation is in high demand as software testing costs rise and the software industry expands. Unfortunately, engineers interested in automation have little in the form of concrete guidance on how to be successful, or what properly written automation code even looks like.
