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.
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.
