HTML report generation in Selenium Python - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test opens a web page, checks the page title, and generates a test report showing the test result.

Test Code - unittest

Selenium Python

import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

class TestPageTitle(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        options = Options()
        options.add_argument('--headless')
        cls.driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(), options=options)

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

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        cls.driver.quit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main(testRunner=unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2))

Execution Trace - 7 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts: unittest framework initializes test suite	Test runner ready, ChromeDriver configured with headless option	-	PASS
2	Browser opens: Chrome browser starts in headless mode	Chrome browser running without UI	-	PASS
3	Navigates: Browser navigates to 'https://example.com'	Page 'Example Domain' loaded	-	PASS
4	Finds element: Selenium reads the page title	Page title is 'Example Domain'	Check if page title equals 'Example Domain'	PASS
5	Assertion checks: unittest asserts title equality	Assertion passes as titles match	assertEqual('Example Domain', 'Example Domain')	PASS
6	Browser closes: ChromeDriver quits	Browser closed, resources freed	-	PASS
7	Test report generated by unittest TextTestRunner	Test report shows test passed with details	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Page title does not match expected 'Example Domain'

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify on the web page?

A The page title matches 'Example Domain'

B The page contains a button with id 'submit'

C The page URL contains 'test'

D The page background color is blue

Key Result

Always verify key page elements like the title to confirm correct page load before proceeding with further tests. Generating reports helps track test results clearly.
