This is a quick-start for python and behave automation framework. It has everything setup to just start writing tests
- if you just need a skeleton framework to start writing tests or learning automation create a branch from master and start using the framework
- if you want to see a demo of how tests can be written and how the framework works change to the demoLibraryAppTesting branch
- it is currently setup for Rest Api testing, database testing and UI testing
- it is configured to run on a couple of different environments controlled through the config.ini files but adding a new one is very simple:
- add a new config file and name it as you want while setting up all the values from an existing one specific for this new env
- add a new env config file in the /configuration folder keeping the naming convention <env>_configuration.py
- based on the env environment variable the correct configuration will be used
- it is configured to run with support for report portal. In order to use report portal:
- update the link and the project in the config file
- set the access token of your user in the RP_TOKEN env variable
- run the tests with the -Drp_enabled=True user flag
- for api testing the builtin requests lib is used
- to map the models it is recommended to use the namedtuple data structure
- for the UI testing the Elementium lib has been integrated
- for working with the database the sqlalchemy lib has been added
