Selenium with Pytest and Framework Documentation

Introduction

This documentation provides guidance on using Selenium with Pytest along with a framework for efficient web testing in Python. Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browsers, and Pytest is a popular testing framework in Python. Combining them with a framework structure enhances maintainability and scalability of test suites. Additionally, allure-pytest is used for generating detailed test reports.

Installation

1. Python: Ensure Python is installed on your system. You can download and install Python from the official website.

2. Selenium: Install Selenium using pip:

   pip install selenium
   

3. Pytest: Install Pytest using pip:

   pip install pytest
   

4. Allure-Pytest: Install allure-pytest for generating detailed test reports:

   pip install allure-pytest
   

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository: Clone the repository containing the Selenium tests and framework.

2. Install Dependencies: Navigate to the project directory and install dependencies by running:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Configuration: Configure your test environment by modifying configuration files as per your requirements.

4. Writing Tests: Write your Selenium tests using Pytest syntax. Ensure tests are organized within the framework structure.

Framework Structure

The framework follows a modular structure for better organization and scalability. Here's an overview:

• tests/: This directory contains test files written using Pytest.

• pages/: Contains Page Object classes representing web pages. Each page object encapsulates the functionality and elements of a particular web page.

• utilities/: Utility functions and helper classes that aid in test automation.

• config/: Configuration files for managing test environments and settings.

• reports/: Directory for storing test reports generated during test execution.

Writing Tests

1. Setup and Teardown: Use fixture functions provided by Pytest for setup and teardown operations before and after tests.

2. Page Objects: Utilize Page Object design pattern to represent web pages and interact with elements within them.

3. Assertions: Use Pytest's built-in assertion mechanisms to verify expected outcomes.

4. Parameterization: Parameterize tests to run with different datasets, enhancing test coverage.

5. Allure Reporting: Utilize allure-pytest for generating detailed test reports.

Running Tests

Execute tests using Pytest command-line interface:

pytest --alluredir=./reports

Optionally, you can specify specific tests or directories:

pytest path/to/test_file.py

Generating Reports

After test execution, reports will be generated in the reports/ directory. These reports provide detailed information on test results, including passed, failed, and skipped tests. You can view the reports by running:

allure serve reports/
