Applitools Example: Selenium in Python with pytest

Applitools Example: Selenium in Python with pytest

This is the example project for the Selenium Python pytest tutorial. It shows how to start automating visual tests with Applitools Eyes and Selenium WebDriver in Python.

It uses:

• Python as the programming language
• Selenium WebDriver for browser automation
• pytest as the core test framework
• Google Chrome as the local browser for testing
• pip for dependency management
• Applitools Eyes for visual testing

It can also run tests with:

• Applitools Ultrafast Grid for cross-browser execution
• Applitools Execution Cloud for self-healing remote WebDriver sessions

To run this example project, you'll need:

1. An Applitools account, which you can register for free
2. A recent version of Python 3
3. A good Python editor like Visual Studio Code or PyCharm.
4. An up-to-date version of Google Chrome.
5. A corresponding version of ChromeDriver.

To install dependencies, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The main test case spec is test_acme_bank.py. By default, the project will run tests with Ultrafast Grid but not Execution Cloud. You can change these settings in conftest.py.

To execute tests, set the APPLITOOLS_API_KEY environment variable to your account's API key, and then run:

python3 -m pytest -s -v tests
