The document discusses the benefits of using the Python programming language and Pytest framework for software testing. Some key benefits mentioned include Python being widely used for web and app development, which allows testers to use the same language as developers. Pytest is highlighted as an awesome test automation framework that is flexible for unit, API, and browser testing and has a large plugin ecosystem. Examples are provided showing how Pytest can be used to test weather data.

- 3. WHY PYTHON? • An all-purpose language • Gaming, web development, data science, task automation, hardware programming @joshin4colours
- 4. WHY PYTHON? • Great language to get started with • Cross-platform support (Windows, OSX, *nix) • Lots of resources for getting started at all levels @joshin4colours
- 7. Why Python For Testers? @joshin4colours
- 8. MAINSTREAM IN APP DEVELOPMENT @joshin4colours
- 9. MAINSTREAM IN APP DEVELOPMENT • Many teams use Python for web application development • Front-end • Back-end • Service and middle layers • Using the same language as developers has benefits • Team cohesion and communication • Knowledge transfer • Can be easier to gain traction with tooling @joshin4colours
- 11. MAINSTREAM IN AUTOMATION • Just like the title • “Automate 100% of the things that should be automated.” ~ Alan Page • Python is a scripting language • Quick and dirty scripts • Generating, moving, renaming and manipulating files • Libraries for everything! @joshin4colours
