Master Selenium Python Automation with Behave BDD Framework

Learn Behavior Driven Development (BDD) using Behave, Selenium, and Python — from basics to framework level

What you'll learn
- Understand the fundamentals of Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and how to use the Behave framework in Python.
- Write and execute Gherkin feature files and step definitions for real-world automation scenarios.
- Use tags, hooks, and step parameters to organize and manage Behave test cases efficiently.
- Implement data-driven testing in Behave using examples and Excel integration.
- Create and customize HTML and Allure test reports to visualize automation results.
- Integrate Selenium WebDriver with Behave to build a complete BDD automation framework.
- Apply advanced concepts such as Page Object Model (POM), parallel test execution, and unique test data generation.
- Automate API testing using Behave BDD to expand your test coverage beyond UI testing.

Requirements
- Basic understanding of Python programming (variables, functions, loops, etc.).
- Familiarity with software testing concepts will be helpful but not mandatory.
- No prior experience with Behave or BDD is needed — everything is explained step-by-step from scratch.

On course completion, you will be a master in thePython Behave BDD frameworkand will have the skills to implement it in any real-world automation project, including Selenium for web and API testing.

Course Breakdown

In Part 1, we will cover the foundational aspects ofPython Behave BDD, giving you the tools and techniques to write and execute high-quality tests. Below are the topics discussed in Part 1:

Introduction to BDD and Behave– Understand the principles of Behavior Driven Development and how to use the Behave framework with Python.

Writing Your First Behave Test with Gherkin– Learn how to create feature files and write tests in Gherkin syntax.

Using Tags in Behave BDD– Implement tags in Behave to organize your tests effectively.

Using Step Parameters in Behave– Understand how to pass parameters to your test steps for flexibility and reusability.

Data-Driven Testing with Behave– Dive into data-driven testing, with examples to help you create tests with external data sources like Excel.

Skipping Test Cases in Behave– Learn how to skip specific test cases and scenarios with Behave’s built-in functionality.

Assertions in Behave– Master the use of assertions in Behave tests to validate expected outcomes.

Generating HTML Test Reports in Behave– Create and configure detailed HTML reports to showcase your test results.

Hooks in Behave– Understand how to use hooks (Before, After) to manage test environments and scenarios effectively.

Rerunning Failed Tests in Behave– Learn how to automatically rerun failed tests to ensure your test suite is robust.

In Part 2, we will dive deeper into advanced features of Behave and integrate Selenium with Behave for web automation. You will also learn how to enhance your framework for enterprise-level applications. Below are the topics covered in Part 2:

Data-Driven Testing with Excel in Python– Expand your knowledge by integrating Excel files for data-driven testing in Behave.

Allure Reports in Behave– Learn how to generate visually appealing and informative Allure reports for your Behave test results.

Speeding Up Tests with Parallel Execution– Optimize your tests by running them in parallel to improve test execution time.

Page Object Model (POM) in Python Behave– Implement the Page Object Model design pattern for scalable and maintainable automation tests.

Entering Unique Test Data in Automation– Learn how to manage unique test data effectively in your Behave tests.

API Testing with Python Behave– Explore how to use Behave for testing APIs, a critical skill for modern test automation.
