Automation with Python

Module Catalog

Module 2 — Automation with Python (96 Hours)

This module is an instructional component of the Software Quality Assurance & Automation

Specialist Certificate program.

It is not a stand-alone licensed program.

A state-licensed certificate is awarded only after successful completion of both Module 1 and

Module 2.

 

MODULE OVERVIEW

Module 2 builds on the foundations developed in Module 1 and transitions students into automated

testing using Python, Selenium, API scripting, version control, and CI/CD pipelines.

 

Students will learn:

• Python programming for testing
• Object-oriented scripting
• Automation frameworks (PyTest/Selenium)
• API test automation
• CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions/Jenkins
• Automation planning, execution, and reporting

 

This module concludes with an Automation Framework Capstone Project, where students build a

working automation suite for a sample application—including reusable page objects, automated

regression suites, test reports, and GitHub integration.

MODULE OBJECTIVES

At the end of this 96-hour module, students will be able to:

 

Python for Test Automation

✔ Write scripts using Python fundamentals

✔ Use OOP to design reusable automation components

✔ Work with files, JSON, XML, CSV, and APIs

 

Automation Framework Development

✔ Create automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver

✔ Build and run tests using PyTest

✔ Capture logs, screenshots, and test reports

 

API Automation

✔ Understand REST principles

✔ Automate API tests using Python requests library

✔ Validate JSON responses and status codes

 

CI/CD & Version Control

✔ Use Git and GitHub for managing automation code

✔ Configure GitHub Actions or Jenkins to run automated pipelines

✔ Interpret build failures and debug automation

 

Automation Project Execution

✔ Structure page objects and test suites

✔ Use data-driven and keyword-driven automation

✔ Create automated regression runs

✔ Integrate automation reports with testing dashboards
