New online course for work teams
Teams from one or more companies are welcome. This is not a public course.
Aimed at people who perform Software Verification and Validation tasks in order to help them in test automation tasks by using Python scripts.
It covers Python 3 features and the latest updates to its standard library (dataclasses, async io, multiprocessing). A Python static analysis session is included. For acceptance testing you will learn the use of Behaviour Driven Testing (BDD) and Robot Framework type testing platforms oriented to Keyword and Data Driven Tests.
Characteristics of the course
The course is distributed in 6 modules of 4 hours that can be taken as a whole or selecting those that are of interest to you.
Each module, which is taught in Spanish with slides in English, includes a theoretical part of approximately 1 hour and a practical part of 3 hours.
No prior knowledge of Python is required, although some programming skills are required.
A laptop is required for the internship.
