      I will try providing the participants with the AUT(Application under test), so as to avoid dependency on internet connectivity. Yes, it will cover some aspect of single page web apps.

      This workshop is for those who want to learn to use Selenium for testing their web application. Not limited to developers or testers. Selenium is compatible with other languages as well but for now we 'll be using Python in this workshop(Python at PyCon!). Preferred OS is Linux based because of simple installation steps, you can use others as well.

      Arkin,

      Basic knowledge of python is required, this talk is of beginner level. You will basically get introduced to web application testing using Selenium Python bindings.
