Recently, I have seen many fans privately message me in the background, asking me to do a Python automated testing tutorial. In fact, I have already started preparing for this issue. I have recorded a complete set of Python automated testing tutorials and uploaded them all. On station B, everyone who is interested can take a look!

Python automated testing is a process of transforming previous human testing into machine testing. Automated testing is a way to get feedback on failures faster than manual testing.
With the changes of the times, maybe the need for testing this position will become less and less or even disappear in the future, but every organization and every customer's requirements for software quality will never disappear. What we need to do is to build our own core competitiveness and keep pace with the times.
Automated testing is a way of quality assurance, and the most important thing is to make a high-quality product as the premise. Testing work is often about constantly balancing the ratio and depth of quality, efficiency, and driving business. According to different business stages, different goals, and current key event drivers, constantly adjust strategies and tactics in terms of quality, efficiency, and driving business.
1. Learn the programming language first, then the automation tools
You can choose either Java or Python as a language. You can start with Python first, and then start with Java. In the process of learning a language, you must forget that you are doing tests, treat yourself as a developer, and systematically learn relevant programming knowledge, because the level of language level largely determines the level of automation.
2. Lay a good foundation
You can't put the cart before the horse. If you don't understand the http protocol, you won't understand tools like loadrunner, fiddler, and soapUI. If you don't understand HTML, you won't understand firebug. So when the foundation is laid, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
3. Clearly recognize yourself and clarify your goals
To put it bluntly, before we do anything, we must first see how many pounds and how many pairs we have, first evaluate our current ability level, and then see what resources (energy, time, funds) we can invest in learning. In this way, you will know what content you can understand, and at which stage you need to ask the Daniel, and don’t get confused until you learn more and more at the end; secondly, after you recognize your own ability, you must set a reasonable goal for yourself, how long to what level.
Fourth, greedy and chewing
Learn to draw inferences from one thing to another and start the road, it is easy to get anxious and want to learn everything, which is easy to be confused and difficult to digest. Many places are the same, code structure, use case management, etc. can be inferred from one another, which can not only improve your learning efficiency, but also avoid confusion. The most important thing is not to talk on paper, but to practice.
5. Don’t be limited by tools
Multi-use open source In the testing industry, there are many automated testing tools, but large companies tend to use open source frameworks and tools, and then customize their own testing solutions. Learn to use some open source tools such as Webdriver, Appium, etc. to build your own automated test project, and then master the overall automation working principle to prepare for building your own tool platform in the future. After all, getting automation is not as simple as using a few tools . The highest level of automated testing: develop test tools, design automation frameworks, and let others use them.
