Workshop 1: Automate Your QA - Workshop on Behave a BDD
summary
Hands-on workshop on automating QA with Python shows behave + selenium as the actual stack, demonstrates writing feature files, step implementations and using context.execute_steps to call other features, and uses a random user generator to avoid static-credential collisions. Running tests uses the behave CLI and produces reports; Django projects use a test DB to avoid bloat. A real-world case tests a whistleblowing feature where recorded audio is distorted then partially reconstructed — an unexpected privacy gap that the automated test exposes.
