Selenium with Python Demo Code

A collection of sample Python scripts demonstrating Selenium WebDriver functionalities with BDD (Behavior Driven Development) using pytest-bdd. This repository showcases browser automation, test automation, and cross-browser testing following best practices like the Page Object Model (POM).

Project Structure

• base/: Contains base classes for WebDriver initialization and configurations. ALso contains reusable methods that would need driver.
• pages/: Implements Page Object Model for reusable and maintainable element locators and actions.
• features/: Contains .feature files written in Gherkin syntax for BDD scenarios.
• step_definitions/: Maps the steps in feature files to Python functions using pytest-bdd.
• utilities/: Utility functions for logging, read data from csv, etc.
• reports/: Stores HTML report generated from test runs.
• conftest.py: Contains pytest fixtures for WebDriver setup, browser selection, and test setup/teardown.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• Install required packages

Execution

pytest -vs --gherkin-terminal-reporter --capture=sys --browser edge --url https://demoqa.com/ --html=reports/demoqa_automation.html --self-contained-html

Cross-Browser Execution

The project supports running tests on multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Page Object Model (POM)

This project follows POM design, where each page has a corresponding class in pages/ that:

• Defines element locators
• Encapsulates page actions
• Promotes reusability and maintainability

BDD with Gherkin

• Feature files use Gherkin syntax (Given, When, Then) to describe test scenarios in plain English.
• Step definitions implement the actions corresponding to each Gherkin step using pytest-bdd.

Demo Features

• Browser automation (open URLs, click buttons, fill forms)
• Interaction with web elements via locators and actions
• Automated tests with BDD scenarios
• Cross-browser testing with multiple WebDriver configurations
• Detailed test reports
