Front-end Testing in Python: A Detailed Guide

Building robust tests for any software that you create is a necessity. If you build web applications with Python, you’ve probably wanted to build meticulous front-end tests to test the final outcome as it appears a browser.

In this guide, we provide a step-by-step tutorial to perform front-end testing of web applications built with Python using Selenium. Selenium is a free and open-source tool for building tests for web applications through existing browsers.
