Selenium examples in Python

Playing with the Selenium web application testing framework. The configuration file for the test methods describes the inputs for them as key-value pairs, with the expected outputs as well.

Motivation

A few Selenium examples are demonstrated for Software Testing master course. The aim of the project is to try out Selenium capabilities on a web page which was specifically developed for this purpose: http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/

Installation

Install Anaconda from the official page. Clone the project. Open an Anaconda terminal and create a new virtual environment:

conda create -n SeleniumTesting python=3.8 anaconda
conda activate SeleniumTesting
pip install selenium

Usage example

pytest test_selenium.py -ssv --cov

Or

python -m unittest test_selenium.py
