Testing with Selenium

Introduction

This project demonstrates automated testing using Selenium WebDriver. It includes test scripts for web applications to ensure functionality, performance, and usability.

Features

• Automated UI testing using Selenium
• Support for multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
• Integration with pytest for test execution
• Data-driven testing using CSV or JSON files
• Headless browser testing support
• Logging and reporting using Allure

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed
• Browser drivers installed (ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver, etc.)
• Required Python packages installed

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/testing-with-selenium.git
cd testing-with-selenium

# Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Ensure that the appropriate web driver is placed in the system PATH or specify its location in the script.

Running Tests

Execute tests using pytest:

pytest tests/

Run tests with detailed output:

pytest -v --html=report.html --self-contained-html

Run tests in headless mode:

pytest --headless

Writing Your Own Tests

1. Create a new test file in the tests/ folder.
2. Import pytest and selenium.
3. Write test functions using pytest format.
4. Use setup and teardown methods for driver initialization.

Example:

import pytest
from selenium import webdriver

def test_google_search():
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    driver.get("https://www.google.com")
    assert "Google" in driver.title
    driver.quit()

Reporting

Generate an HTML report:

pytest --html=report.html
