I'm transitioning into an SDET role and trying to decide whether to build depth in Python or Java for Selenium. Context: - My current programming experience is mostly Python (data scripts, some Django) - The job market in my city has more Java SDET roles, but Python seems to be growing - I'll be self-learning — no team forcing a choice Is the Selenium Java ecosystem (TestNG, Maven, ExtentReports) meaningfully better than Python's (pytest, requests, allure-pytest)? Or is language less important than framework depth?
