smoke_test_webstation

This project is written in Pycharm 2018.2 and to make easier to write .feature files install plugin: Gherkin

Framework Behave driven development (BDD) used with combination with Page Object Model (POM)

• Webdriver: ChromeWebDriver used

Requirements:

install package: behave in cmd/terminal type:

pip install behave

and selenium

pip install selenium

Webdriver:

The ChromeDriver controls the browser using Chrome's automation proxy framework. The server expects you to have Chrome installed in the default location for each system:

Download ChromeDriver on this link (version I am currently using is 2.41)

Set path of ChromeWebDirver:

For Linux:

1. Move the file to /usr/bin directory sudo mv chromedriver /usr/bin

2. Go to /usr/bin directory and you would need to run something like "chmod a+x chromedriver" to mark it executable.

For Windows:

Paste the chromedriver.exe file in "C:\Python\Scripts" Folder.

Obligated structure of the prject is:

.
└── features
   ├── #.feature
   ├── #.feature
   ├── environment.py
   ├── steps
       └── #.py

Here's a brief explanation of the files:

• environment.py: Define code to run before and after certain events during testing. (starts WebDriver)
• .feature: Written test for create account and login, with scenarios an steps.
• steps/: This is where Behave will initially look for the code for tests via decorators.
• pages/: Use locators in file and webDriver methods from browser.py for implementing steps
• base/browser.py: Contains all webDriver actions wrapped to unique methods to make code reduced and easy to maintain.

To run test case open terminal in project root directory and type:
