Python environment setup in Selenium Python - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test checks if the Python environment is correctly set up for Selenium testing. It verifies that the Selenium WebDriver can open a browser and navigate to a website.

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

    def test_open_google(self):
        self.driver.get('https://www.google.com')
        title = self.driver.title
        self.assertIn('Google', title)

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

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

Execution Trace - 4 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and setUp method initializes Chrome WebDriver	Chrome browser window opens controlled by Selenium	-	PASS
2	Browser navigates to 'https://www.google.com'	Google homepage is loaded in the browser	-	PASS
3	Test checks if page title contains 'Google'	Page title is 'Google'	assertIn('Google', title) verifies title includes 'Google'	PASS
4	tearDown method closes the browser	Browser window closes	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Chrome WebDriver is not installed or not found in PATH

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify after opening the browser?

A The page title contains 'Google'

B The browser window is maximized

C The URL contains 'selenium'

D The browser background color is white

Key Result

Always verify your WebDriver is correctly installed and accessible before running Selenium tests to avoid setup failures.
