Write your first test in Selenium Python

Let’s take a look at how to write your first browser test in Python using the SeleniumBase framework. You can check out my article here to learn more about the SeleniumBase framework.

  • SeleniumBase framework
  • Chromedriver (can be installed using SeleniumBase)
