Test Automation with Python: 1 Introduction to Automated Testing

Headspin大学的“ Python自动化测试”系列旨在教授自动化技能和工具，以测试Appium和Selenium中的应用程序，这是世界上最受欢迎的UI自动化工具。但是在进入自动化本身之前，这第一门课程将深入探讨测试的概念，从词源到如何为软件设计有用的测试。虽然使用软件来运行似乎是一项显而易见的测试，但想象一下其开发人员可能未曾想到的软件条件也是有帮助和必要的。还介绍了自动化的历史，强调了一个事实，即大多数软件实际上是自动化的一种形式。学完本课程后，您将为自动测试打下坚实的基础，并准备继续进行本系列的下一门课程。

The Test Automation with Python series from Headspin University is designed to teach automation skills and tools for testing applications in Appium and Selenium, the world’s most popular UI automation tools. But before getting into the automation itself, this first course delves into the concept of testing, from the etymology of the word, to how to design useful tests for your software. While using software as it is meant to be run seems like an obvious test, it’s also helpful and necessary to imagine conditions for the software that its developers might not have thought about. The history of automation is also covered, highlighting the fact that most software is in fact a form of automation. After this course, you’ll have a solid foundation of automated testing and be ready to move on to the next course in the series.
