Advanced Selenium Demo

This repository contains the code for a demo application and its corresponding Selenium test automation framework. It's designed to showcase advanced techniques and best practices.

The project demonstrates:

• A component-based Page Object Model (POM)
• Robust waiting strategies (Explicit and Fluent Waits)
• Best practices for locators

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You need to have Python and pip installed on your machine. We recommend using a virtual environment to manage dependencies.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/tarunsinghofficial/selenium-test-bp.git
cd selenium-test-bp

---

Installation

1. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use .\venv\Scripts\activate

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Demo App

To run the web application for testing:

python serve_app.py

The app will be accessible at http://localhost:8000. Make sure you keep running the application.

---

Running the Tests

Make sure the demo app is running in a separate terminal.

# Run all tests
pytest tests/

Run tests in parallel with Grid:

1. Start Selenium Grid (standalone)

java -jar selenium-server-4.35.0.jar standalone

2. Run tests

.\cross_browser_test.bat test-local

Run tests with cross-browser implementation:

.\cross_browser_test.bat test-local
