Java or JS or Python for Selenium WebDriver
Java or JS or Python for Selenium WebDriver
Manual QA here want to start learning Test Automation. Coming from a non-tech background will make it a bit of a challenge but I'm looking to "test" myself.
Out of the three languages (Java, JS, Py), which should I focus on learning to get the best knowledge to apply when eventually using Selenium WebDriver?
I would like to comprehend all three later on in the future but for now which is the best to start off or continue with. Many have mentioned Python is beginner-friendly approach to learning programming and less stressful, but I see a lot of tutorials for Selenium webdriver being taught using Java, Also I heard JS is being implemented a lot more and more nowadays.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you wanna to focus on using selenium i would recomend to start with python or java, look at a video introducing them and decide what works best for you, i prefer python over java mostly because i don't like the long syntax of java and i prefer the simple one that python gives and how quickly i can test things, but once again YOU need to decide what is best for YOU, both are good languages with a lot of content about in the internet so just go for the one that feels better for you, you can always go back to the other
Thanks for the response.
I am leaning towards Java mainly because I want to have a "humble" approach to coding and then programming, where the challenges of a verbose practice or structure at the start gives a bit of leeway to comprehending future languages, in this case the simplicity of Python; which I very much hope to learn in the not so distance future.
