Python QA Automation: UI and API Testing with Playwright and Pytest

In today's fast-paced software development landscape, manual testing alone is no longer enough to keep up with rapid release cycles. Transitioning to test automation is the key to scaling your career and ensuring high-quality software delivery. This comprehensive text-based course guides you through the process of building robust, modern automation frameworks from the ground up, equipping you with the skills demanded by modern development teams. You will learn how to write efficient automated tests for both user interfaces and backend APIs using industry-standard Python libraries. Through clear explanations and practical written code examples, you will master the art of writing clean, maintainable, and scalable test suites. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational QA automation concepts, key terminology, and framework design patterns. - Write clean, maintainable UI tests using Playwright and modern Python conventions. - Develop robust API tests using HTTPX and validate data structures with Pydantic. - Organize and execute test suites efficiently using Pytest and generate detailed reports with Allure. - Integrate automated tests into modern CI/CD pipelines for continuous feedback. - Apply modern Python practices, including type hints and basic AI-assisted code review workflows. The course begins with core definitions and architectural concepts before moving step-by-step into hands-on written code examples. You will read, analyze, and practice writing test scripts for real-world UI and API scenarios, learning how to structure your code for maximum reusability. This course is designed for manual testers looking to transition to automation, as well as beginners with basic Python knowledge who want to enter the QA engineering field. No prior test automation experience is required. Start reading today and build your first modern automation framework.
