Summary

This book focuses on Python and centers on today's most popular UI automation testing frameworks, the Appium mobile testing framework, and API automation testing. Starting from the very basics of Python, it gradually introduces the Python language and the Selenium framework, UI-based automation testing frameworks, and Python-based automation testing. The book is divided into three parts: the first introduces Selenium automation testing; the second covers API automation testing, including the HTTP protocol, detailed use of the Postman testing tool, and detailed use of JMeter in API testing. It covers automation testing knowledge across the board, from CI and data separation to testing frameworks and the challenging aspects of today's popular API testing. The content is thorough and covers every module in full, reflecting technical issues the author encountered at work and that clients raised and cared about.

Editor's review

Python Automation Testing in Practice is a hands-on technical guide. Using Python as its core tool, it systematically explains the entire process of automation testing, from fundamental theory to enterprise-level application. Unlike scattered tutorials on the market, this book builds a clear framework: from UI automation tools such as Selenium and Appium to API testing with the Requests library, and on to continuous integration and test report generation, forming a complete skills loop. Notably, the book includes practical cases of test-driven development and behavior-driven development, which are highly valuable references for teams hoping to integrate automation testing into agile development workflows. The author, Wu Ya, writes in a pragmatic style and avoids piling up flashy theory; every technical point comes with runnable code examples and analysis of common problems. For readers with some Python foundation who wish to advance into test development or quality assurance, the knowledge system and project practice in this book can effectively shorten the distance from learning to application. Of course, the book's emphasis is on practice and application, with less discussion of pure testing theory or academic research, a positioning readers should keep in mind when choosing it.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Beginners with basic Python syntax knowledge who wish to enter the field of automation testing
Test engineers with some manual testing experience who wish to improve their technical skills and make a career transition
Developers who want to understand testing processes and write high-quality test code to improve software quality
Team technical leads or project managers seeking reference material for building or optimizing an automation testing system

Not a good fit for

Readers with no programming background at all who want to learn Python from zero
Readers seeking advanced testing theory, academic research, or standardized certification content

Reading tips

Reading in chapter order is recommended, especially the first few chapters on environment setup and basic frameworks, which are the foundation for later learning
Be sure to practice the code examples in the book hands-on and try adapting them to projects or scenarios you are familiar with
For chapters such as Continuous Integration and Test Reports, you can extend your learning with currently popular tools (e.g., Jenkins, Allure); the book provides good ideas for integration

FAQ

Is this book suitable for testers who have never written code?

Not very suitable. The book assumes readers already know basic Python syntax (such as variables, functions, classes, and module imports). Readers with no foundation are advised to first gain introductory Python knowledge before reading this book.

Are the technology stack and cases in the book outdated?

The book is based on Python 3 and covers long-term stable and widely used testing frameworks and libraries such as Selenium and Pytest. Although minor versions of specific tools may be updated, the principles, framework design ideas, and integration methods explained in the book retain lasting reference value. Readers can consult official tool documentation for the latest API changes.

What are the main features of this book compared with similar titles?

Its features are its hands-on approach and systematic structure. It not only explains how to use individual tools but also focuses on how to combine various tools (UI automation, API testing, continuous integration) into a practical, deployable automation testing solution, and it provides practical cases close to real projects.

About the author

无涯 Author

Wu Ya is an author about whom limited public information is available. The library currently holds two works by this author, spanning the distinct fields of programming and design and youth literature. Python Automated Testing in Practice suggests an interest in the engineering practice of software testing, with a focus on concrete techniques and hands-on operations for readers who want to apply automated testing in real projects. Letting Go, by contrast, turns to youth literature, addressing personal emotions and experiences of growing up. The considerable distance between these two works shows that the author has attempted both technical writing and literary expression. Since details such as dates of birth and death, nationality, education, and professional experience cannot be confirmed, this introduction makes no speculation and merely sketches the author's writing profile based on the available works and categories for readers' reference.
