Automated Testing of GUVI Web Application with Selenium & PyTest 🚀

Introduction

Automated testing is a crucial step in modern software development, ensuring that web applications function as expected while saving time and effort. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how I automated the GUVI web application using Selenium WebDriver, Python, and PyTest, leveraging Page Object Model (POM), Data-Driven Testing (DDT), and Keyword-Driven Testing to enhance test efficiency and maintainability.

🔧 Tools & Technologies Used

Selenium WebDriver – For browser automation.

Python & PyTest – For scripting and test execution.

Page Object Model (POM) – To enhance maintainability and reusability.

Data-Driven & Keyword-Driven Testing – For flexible test coverage.

Jenkins – For Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).

Excel & PyTest Parameterization – For implementing DDT.

Cross-browser Testing – Ensuring compatibility across multiple browsers.

🏗️ Key Features Implemented

✅ Authentication & Login/Logout Automation
Automated user authentication to validate login and logout functionalities, ensuring secure access and session management.

✅ Button Functionality & Webpage Title Verification
Developed test scripts to validate button clicks, page navigations, and webpage title verification to ensure expected behavior.

✅ Data-Driven Testing (DDT) via Excel
Utilized PyTest parameterization to run tests with multiple datasets, ensuring robustness by covering various test scenarios.

✅ CI/CD Integration with Jenkins
Integrated Selenium test scripts with Jenkins, allowing automated test execution as part of the CI/CD pipeline. Configured scheduled test runs and email notifications for test reports.

✅ Cross-Browser Testing
Executed test scripts across multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) to ensure a consistent user experience across different environments.

🚀 Benefits of This Automation Approach

✔ Enhanced Test Coverage – Running tests with multiple datasets improves validation.
✔ Faster Execution – Automated scripts reduce manual testing effort and improve test execution speed.
✔ Improved Maintainability – Using POM ensures a clean, reusable test structure.
✔ CI/CD Compatibility – Seamless integration with Jenkins allows continuous and automated testing.
✔ Cross-Browser Assurance – Ensuring functionality remains intact across different browsers.

📌 Conclusion

Automating the GUVI web application with Selenium and PyTest enhanced test efficiency, improved maintainability, and ensured seamless integration into the CI/CD pipeline. This approach can be adapted for other web applications, making it a scalable solution for robust quality assurance in software development.
