Content and Overview

In this course we will spend some time creating an eCommerce application on our local machine. We will install a package that includes web server and database. Using this package we will install WordPress and install necessary plugins to make it an eCommerce application. The eCommerce application gives us all the APIs we will test.

We have access to the database so we will test API data against the database. We will create a efficiently structured test framework and learn how to use Python to perform our verification.

We will also learn how to use a Python test runner tool "pytest" see why test runner tools are critical for automation testing.
