DevOps and Build Automation with Python

LearnQuest connects build automation with package management, testing, browser automation and development containers. The sequence gives learners several ways automation affects a development workflow. It is useful for comparing a local automated task with a broader deployment pipeline, while keeping attention on the dependencies and test behavior behind the command.

What you will learn

• Explain the role of package managers in a build.
• Relate testing and browser automation to development.
• Describe containers used in a development environment.

Who this suits

Beginner-level learners; detailed prerequisites are not specified in the published course facts. Preview the Python and command-line expectations.

Before you enroll

Check the current tool versions and exercise environment before enrolling. Use an isolated practice application, keep credentials out of repositories and compare the behavior of a failed deployment with a successful one.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Outline an automated check for a practice application. Record its dependencies, expected result and failure output so another developer can interpret what happened.
