What are automation Scripts?

              A code that can be reusable to execute a function in multiple times. It automatically executed without any user intervention.

In python, it is stored with ‘.py’ extension.

Steps to execute the automation scripts:

1.Python Installation

  • ·       First, make sure that system has python.
  • ·       Just check the version in command prompt.
  • ·       Open the command prompt by giving ‘cmd’ command in search panel.
  • ·       It opens the command prompt.
  • ·       Use the below syntax to check the version.

C:\Users\rajeswari jeevananth>python --version

Python 3.10.0

2. Set up your Environment for windows

·     Create a project folder.

3. Create the automation script

              Let us create a python code to rename a file in a directory. Actual file is created with the name of “automation.py”.

This program checks the directory. Finds the file and renames it.

Python code:

     import os

     folder = "C:/Users/rajeswari jeevananth/Documents"

     for count, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(folder)):

           new_name = f"file_{count}.txt"

           os.rename(os.path.join(folder, filename),

           os.path.join(folder, new_name))

           print("Files renamed successfully!")

Output:

yes. The code is executed successfully.

Why automation scripts are needed?

              Main purpose is to save the time.

Other uses:

o   Organizing the file activities.

o   web scraping

o   Email automation.

o    scheduled backups execution in periodical manner.

o   Automative software testing.

o   Frequent Controlling of browsers or applications.

o   Other maintenance activities.

These are the basics of executing an automation script in python.  Hope, you understood the concept. Keep coding!!!!
