Task to demonstrate the automation testing of Udemy search functionality

Framework Setup

This requires Python3 installed on your system. It also needs pipenv to manage package dependencies. Also, since they are UI Tests, having a Webdriver on the machine is recommended. This shall use Chromedriver. Follow the below steps to get it up and running on your local machine:

1. Clone this Github repository
2. Run pipenv install which shall install all the dependencies specified in the Pipfile and generate Pipfile.lock.

Folder Structure

[project working directory]
|‐‐ [Pipfile]
|-- [test directories]
|   |-- features
|   |   `-- *.feature
|   `-- step_defs
|       |-- __init__.py
|       |-- conftest.py
|       `-- test_*.py
`-- [pytest.ini]

As per standard conventions, the entire code should reside inside a directory called tests which shall have features and step_defs as subfolders. step_defs can also contain conftest.py file which contains some fixture functions which are to be utilized by multiple tests. Lastly, pytest.ini file is used to register a custom marker to avoid warnings while test execution

Running the Tests

The command used to run the tests is pipenv run python -m pytest. Also, there is a provision to run the tests by providing the tag names. It can be achieved by appending -k and the tag name. e.g. pipenv run python -m pytest -k automated

Reporting

This framework uses pytest-html plugin to generate html reports for the test runs. To generate a report, run the command pipenv run python -m pytest -k automated --html=report.html
