With a plethora of programming languages available today, the important question is “Which programming language does a programmer prioritize learning?” Without a doubt, the world of programming revolves around experienced programmers with cutting-edge coding skills. So, if you’re planning a successful career in software development, understanding the hottest, trending languages is key.
Flask and Django are two of the most popular Python packages. More importantly, they are the two most preferred web frameworks you can use with the language. Both frameworks are open-source and offer excellent APIs for developers to build robust Python web applications. While both frameworks serve the same purpose, they take two philosophically opposed routes to achieve it.
You just finished creating your web application and want to clean it from any possible bugs, imperfections, and performance issues. But you feel a bit overwhelmed with the choice of testing tools and frameworks and the articles singing their praises. In this article, we will explore using Selenium with Python for test automation.
I have a bit of a confession to make, I’ve never really bothered to learn Python. The last time I briefly used it, Python 3 had just been released and was being ignored by almost everyone due to all to breaking changes people had porting over to it from Python 2.

Python was created by Guido van Rossum in the early 90's and is an interpreted, high-level programming language that is used by coders of all types. It is a widely-used programming language because of its readability and the fact that it is easy to learn for novice programmers. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, functional, and imperative/procedural styles.
According to IEEE Spectrum Python is the top programming language of 2021, and since April Loadero supports Python as a test script language. Many engineers agree that test automation with Python is an excellent choice, and in this blog post, we’ll show the basics of it. Python tests in Loadero use the Py-TestUI framework. Py-TestUI wraps and implements additional features for Selenium Python binding.
In this blog post we’ll help answer the age old question, “What does this service talk to and what does it say?” We’ll see how to inspect inbound and outbound REST API calls to see what calls are being made and what incoming traffic causes a reaction. This can be pretty handy when you’re taking over maintenance of an existing service, or if your code just isn’t behaving the way you expect.
