Question

How is Python used in automation testing other than in Selenium?

Answer 1

There is a lot of stuff by which Python can help you in automating tasks some of them are as follows:-

1. Setting up environments for tests,

2. Preparing test data,

3. Analyzing data,

4. Extracting performance data, etc...  However, if you are going to use it extensively I would watch out which version you use. The language has been improved in version 3, but it is not backwards compatible with version 2.

5. There are a lot of cool third party open source projects which use version 2 and but some have not been updated to use version 3.

If you want to learn Selenium then you must have a look at the following Selenium training course. I am also mentioning a video tutorial on Python and Selenium which you would like to watch to get the concepts of it.
