Web-Test-Automation

Introduction

Through Selenium IDE you are able to record web test cases and export them to Python test cases.

With this script you can additionally specify different WebDriver, for example, Chrome, Firefox, by passing arguments.

You can also specify a JSON file as your test profile and then feed to test scripts. By this approach, you are allowed to assign values which are necessary of the test case.

Furthermore, you could also make your test code to take screenshot(or other wrapper behaviors) after execution. You could refer to "Customize a template" for more information.

Prerequisite

Selenium IDE (with Firefox of course)
Python 2.7
WebDriver executable files of interest
- Please make sure the PATH environment variable contains your WebDriver executables paths

Constraints

Currently only support Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer;
- Edge and Safari have not been tested yet
For now you can not specify a path to store screenshots
Test Suite is not supported yet

Usage

Open Selenium IDE > Options > Options > Formats
Click Add and name it (e.g. Python: WebDriver-Configurable / Screenshot)
Paste template code under selenium_ide_template\<select-a-template> and click Save
- e.g. selenium_ide_template\selenium-python-source.js
Click OK (You may need to expand the window to get the button visible)
Export your test cases as what you just created (e.g. Python: WebDriver-Configurable / Screenshot)
Open your shell or command line
Enter python <YOUR_TEST_CASE.py> -h to read the usage and run tests
After finishing the test cases, you will find one or more PNG files under your current directory
If the test data file doesn't exist, test code will generate one with values you typed when recording this test case
