Finding multiple elements in Selenium Python - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test opens a webpage and finds all buttons with the class 'btn'. It verifies that the number of buttons found matches the expected count.

Test Code - Selenium

Selenium Python

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import unittest

class TestFindMultipleElements(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()
        self.driver.get('https://example.com/buttons')

    def test_find_all_buttons(self):
        buttons = self.driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'btn')
        self.assertEqual(len(buttons), 3, 'Expected 3 buttons with class "btn"')

    def tearDown(self):
        self.driver.quit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Execution Trace - 6 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts	Test framework initializes and prepares to run the test	-	PASS
2	Browser opens Chrome	Chrome browser window opens, ready to navigate	-	PASS
3	Navigates to 'https://example.com/buttons'	Page with multiple buttons loaded in browser	-	PASS
4	Finds all elements with class name 'btn' using find_elements	List of button elements with class 'btn' retrieved	Check that number of buttons found equals 3	PASS
5	Assertion checks that length of buttons list is 3	Test verifies the count matches expected	len(buttons) == 3	PASS
6	Browser closes and test ends	Browser window closed, test finished	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: The page has fewer or more than 3 buttons with class 'btn'
