Getting Started with Python — quiz

Your testing team writes Selenium tests in Java but wants to add API tests, run quick data-prep scripts, and parse log files. Why is Python a popular companion choice for these adjacent QA tasks?

• Python compiles to native machine code and is always faster than Java
• Python has a concise syntax and a strong testing ecosystem (pytest, requests, Playwright, pandas), making it well-suited for scripts, API tests, and data work
• Python only runs on Linux, which most CI environments use
• Python forces all logic into a single file, which simplifies project structure
