1.2Why Python for QA
| Strength | How It Helps QA |
|---|---|
| Readable syntax | Test code is self-documenting; easy for non-Python developers to review |
| pytest ecosystem | The most powerful test framework, with fixtures, parametrize, and plugins |
| requests library | Clean HTTP client for API testing |
| Data libraries | pandas, json, csv — essential for data validation |
| Scripting speed | Quick scripts for log parsing, data cleanup, environment setup |
| Type hints + mypy | Optional static typing catches errors before tests run |
