Page title and URL retrieval in Selenium Python - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test opens a web page, retrieves its title and URL, and verifies they match expected values.

Test Code - unittest

Selenium Python

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import unittest

class TestPageTitleAndURL(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service())

    def test_title_and_url(self):
        driver = self.driver
        driver.get('https://example.com')
        title = driver.title
        url = driver.current_url
        self.assertEqual(title, 'Example Domain')
        self.assertEqual(url, 'https://example.com/')

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

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

Execution Trace - 6 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and Chrome browser opens	Chrome browser window is open, ready for commands	-	PASS
2	Browser navigates to 'https://example.com'	Browser displays the Example Domain homepage	-	PASS
3	Retrieve page title using driver.title	Title retrieved: 'Example Domain'	Check if title equals 'Example Domain'	PASS
4	Retrieve current URL using driver.current_url	URL retrieved: 'https://example.com/'	Check if URL equals 'https://example.com/'	PASS
5	Assertions for title and URL pass	Test confirms title and URL match expected values	Both assertions are true	PASS
6	Browser closes and test ends	Browser window closed, resources released	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Page title or URL does not match expected values
