Test Automation With Python Part 2 PDF

This document discusses test automation with Python and pytest. It provides an overview of pytest features like recognizing tests, running tests via command line, assertions, pre/post conditions and cleanups using fixtures. It demonstrates how to write tests with pytest using functions, and how to define fixtures at different scopes. It also covers conftest.py files for defining globally available fixtures and rules for defining fixtures at different framework structure levels. The document concludes with practicing writing tests for a car.py file using fixtures and multiple test files/folders.

Test Automation with

Python
Part 2: Test suites, pre/post conditions, fixtures
Agenda

● Re-cap
● Pre-conditions / cleanups
● Test suites
● Fixtures
● Practice (writing a test suite)
● Running tests
● [if we have time] allure steps
Let’s recap what
we did before
Pytest

Pytest is a framework for writing tests.


Pytest

Pytest is a framework for writing tests.

● Recognizes tests
● Allows to run them through command-line
● Provides assertions
● Provides pre / conditions cleanups
● Logging / reporting / tagging support
Let’s install it
# to install something, the best way is to use pip:

$ pip install <package name>

# to install multiple dependencies, we can use a file:

$ pip install -r <file_with_dependencies.txt>


Let’s install it

1. Create a file named “requirements.txt” in the top folder


2. Then, add pytest into the file
3. Install:

Option 1: open requirements.txt in PyCharm and click “install requirements” in the


upper right corner.

Option 2:

# then, run:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt


Let’s set it up in PyCharm

In “File -> Settings”:


To check it was installed
# run:

$ pip freeze

# if you are on linux, you can grep :)

$ pip freeze | grep pytest


How to write tests with pytest

There are multiple ways. Today, we’ll use functions for tests.
How to write tests with pytest

A function must start with the word test. This way, pytest will recognize the test
and be able to run it:
How to run the tests
$ pytest
# OR:
$ pytest /path/to/test
# OR:
Just click the green arrow near the test in PyCharm :)
# OR:
Just right-click on the test file surface and select “run
pytest in ...”
Let’s practice a bit
Re-write your test so that it’s
recognized by pytest.
Pre-conditions / cleanups
Pre-conditions / cleanups

The easiest way to create a pre-condition / cleanup in pytest is to use fixtures


What is a fixture

Fixture is a python decorator. It allows doing things before / after the test, or
provide values to a test.
Fixture - providing a value
Fixture - doing something before test
Fixture - doing something after test
Fixture - scope

Scope lets you specify what part of the tests a fixture should be applied to.

There are multiple scope options:

- Default (when you don’t specify scope) is per test;


- Module - applied before / after whole module;
- Session - applied once before all tests;
- Dynamic - more complicated stuff! You can dynamically specify the scope
depending on the situation.
Fixture - module scope
Fixture - session scope
Result looks the same for our case, but will
be applied before ALL tests in the framework
once.
Fixture - scope can also serve as caching
Fixture - scope can also serve as caching
conftest

conftest.py is a special kind of file recognized by pytest. It allows to define


fixtures that are globally available.
conftest - how to
conftest - rules

● You can define conftests on different “levels” of your framework structure


conftest - rules

● You can define conftests on different “levels” of your framework structure


● The upper-level conftest will be visible by all tests
conftest - rules

● You can define conftests on different “levels” of your framework structure


● The upper-level conftest will be visible by all tests
● Lower-level conftest will NOT apply to upper level tests
● If you name a fixture the same way as in the upper level conftest, it will be re-
written by the one in the lower level
conftest - rules

● You can define conftests on different “levels” of your framework structure


● The upper-level conftest will be visible by all tests
● Lower-level conftest will NOT apply to upper level tests
Time for
practice!
Create tests for car.py

● Add your test file(s) into tests/test_second_episode/


● Test file name should start with the word “test_”
● Test functions should start with the word “test_”
● Please, add at least one fixture
● If you want, you can create conftest.py
● If you want, you can add multiple test files / folders / conftests on different
levels
● If you have any questions, please tell about it, I’ll show you how to do it right
away :)
Motivational homework

Cover other functions in the file with tests.

Try committing your code and making a pull request.
