Playwright + Pytest Test Automation Demo

A test automation project using Playwright (Python) and pytest, covering UI automation with the Page Object Model, data-driven testing, and API testing.

Target application: OrangeHRM Demo (public sandbox) API target: reqres.in (public test API)

What's covered

Area	File(s)	What it demonstrates
Page Object Model	pages/orangehrm_login.py, pages/orangehrm_home.py	Locators and actions separated from test logic
UI test with real assertions	tests/test_orangehrm.py	Login flow + navigation, verified with expect() assertions (not just clicks)
Data-driven testing	tests/test_data_driven.py	Same test run against multiple credential sets loaded from CSV and JSON
API testing	tests/api/test_api.py	GET request validation, including a negative (404) test case
Test config	pytest.ini	Headed mode, HTML report generation, slow-motion for debugging

Setup

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate        # Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install

Running the tests

pytest

This runs all tests in tests/, in headed Chromium, and generates an HTML report at reports/report.html (open it in a browser after the run).

Run a single file:

pytest tests/test_orangehrm.py

Run only the API tests:

pytest tests/api/

Notes

• UI tests run against a public demo instance, so test data (username/password) is not sensitive.
• The reports/ folder is generated on each run and is git-ignored.
