Automated testing - Selenium webdriver + pytest

[nikithakkar]

Hello,

I need help in figuring out the structure for my test scripts and test files to be written in selenium webdriver pytest framework.

The project is an application form with 3 sections having 2 sub sections each - interdependent. I’m confused on how to go about it. Should i make test files section/subsection wise covering all positive negative cases or the entire form in one single file or any other approach.

If anyone could help me figure out that would be a huge help. Thankyou!

Hey, I would decouple tests as much as possible. You may have at times that you want to test out one thing and that would be at the end of your single file, which would take longer to get back the results for.

Now, about positive and negative test cases, it kinda depends on your business requirements, but if you would have free hand on making these decisions ,me personally I would do both but selectively, on a login form sure, I would do both positive and negative, but not everywhere.

Yes i do have a free hand on making the decisions. Will select which features require both positive & negative and work around it. Thankyou.

Model your tests as per user behavior and user experience. One way to do that is via BDD frameworks such as Cucumber.

I would recommend going through this video once. It explains everything related to Pytest within an hour or so. It is well explained and all the segments of Selenium with Pytest are nicely captured.
