Test Overview

This test opens a web page, finds a button by its ID, clicks it, and verifies the expected text appears. It shows how Selenium automates browser actions and checks results, demonstrating why Selenium is a standard tool for web automation.

Test Code - Selenium
Selenium Python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import unittest

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

    def test_button_click_shows_text(self):
        driver = self.driver
        # Wait until button is present
        button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
            EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'show-text-btn'))
        )
        button.click()
        # Wait for the text to appear
        displayed_text = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
            EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'display-text'))
        )
        self.assertEqual(displayed_text.text, 'Hello, Selenium!')

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

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
Execution Trace - 7 Steps
StepActionSystem StateAssertionResult
1Test starts and Chrome browser opensBrowser window is open and ready-PASS
2Browser navigates to 'https://example.com/testpage'Page loads with a button having ID 'show-text-btn'-PASS
3Wait until button with ID 'show-text-btn' is presentButton is visible and interactableButton presence confirmedPASS
4Click the button with ID 'show-text-btn'Button is clicked, triggering text display-PASS
5Wait until element with ID 'display-text' is visibleText element appears on the pageText element visibility confirmedPASS
6Assert that the displayed text equals 'Hello, Selenium!'Text content is 'Hello, Selenium!'Text content matches expected valuePASS
7Test ends and browser closesBrowser window is closed-PASS
Failure Scenario
Failing Condition: Button with ID 'show-text-btn' is not found or text does not match expected
Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions
Test your understanding
What does the test do after opening the browser?
ACloses the browser
BNavigates to the test page URL
CClicks the button immediately
DChecks the text without clicking
Key Result
Waiting for elements to be present or visible before interacting is a best practice in Selenium to avoid flaky tests and ensure reliable automation.
