Hello, I’ve posted this question previously but thought I might post here for a more accurate community. Apologies in advanced.

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.

    Having used Selenium both in Java and Python, I always find myself using it in Python because it is easier to write… I guess that’s more of a Python thing.

    However, I’ve would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t tell you about Playwright for Python. I had a ton of web scraping projects that used Selenium that now Playwright powers, it’s simply amazing.
