Test Framework Layers
  • Driver Layer: Manages browser setup and teardown using Selenium WebDriver.
  • Page Objects: Classes representing web pages, e.g., PromptAlertPage with methods to interact with prompt alerts.
  • Tests: Test scripts using pytest that call page object methods to perform actions and assertions.
  • Utilities: Helper functions like explicit waits to handle alert presence and timing.
  • Configuration: Central place for environment URLs, browser options, and credentials.
Configuration Patterns

Use a config.py file to store environment URLs and browser settings. Use environment variables or pytest command line options to switch environments or browsers.

# config/config.py
BASE_URL = "https://example.com"
BROWSER = "chrome"
    

In tests, read these settings to initialize WebDriver accordingly.

Test Reporting and CI/CD Integration
  • Use pytest with pytest-html plugin to generate readable HTML reports.
  • Integrate tests in CI pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to run on each commit.
  • Failing tests capture screenshots and alert text for debugging.
Best Practices
  • Page Object Model: Encapsulate alert handling in page object methods for reuse and clarity.
  • Explicit Waits: Always wait for alert presence before interacting to avoid flaky tests.
  • Clear Assertions: Assert alert text matches expected before sending input or accepting.
  • Clean Up: Always accept or dismiss alerts to keep browser state clean.
  • Configurable Browsers: Allow running tests on different browsers via config for wider coverage.
Self Check

Where would you add a new method to handle prompt alerts in this framework structure?

Key Result
Use Page Object Model with explicit waits to handle prompt alerts cleanly and reliably.
