Selenium Python bindings provides a simple API to write functional/acceptance tests using Selenium WebDriver. Through Selenium Python API you can access all functionalities of Selenium WebDriver in an intuitive way. This article illustrates about how to use Selenium Python to write automated tests using Python Selenium.If you have not installed Selenium and its components yet, install them from here - Selenium Python Introduction and Installation. The selenium package itself doesn’t provide a testing tool/framework. One can write test cases using Python’s unittest module. The other options for a tool/framework are py.test and nose. How to write tests using Selenium in Python We have used unittest framework of Python to write tests. Let's test search functionality at Python.org using Python selenium tests. To know more about unittest, visit - unittest Documentation. Explanation for each line is given in code itself.Code - Python3 # import all required frameworks import unittest from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys # inherit TestCase Class and create a new test class class PythonOrgSearch(unittest.TestCase): # initialization of webdriver def setUp(self): self.driver = webdriver.Firefox() # Test case method. It should always start with test_ def test_search_in_python_org(self): # get driver driver = self.driver # get python.org using selenium driver.get("http://www.python.org") # assertion to confirm if title has python keyword in it self.assertIn("Python", driver.title) # locate element using name elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q") # send data elem.send_keys("pycon") # receive data elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source # cleanup method called after every test performed def tearDown(self): self.driver.close() # execute the script if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main() Output - Create Quiz Comment N NaveenArora Follow 3 Improve N NaveenArora Follow 3 Improve Article Tags : Python Python-selenium Explore Python FundamentalsPython Introduction 2 min read Input and Output in Python 4 min read Python Variables 4 min read Python Operators 4 min read Python Keywords 2 min read Python Data Types 8 min read Conditional Statements in Python 3 min read Loops in Python - For, While and Nested Loops 5 min read Python Functions 5 min read Recursion in Python 4 min read Python Lambda Functions 5 min read Python Data StructuresPython String 5 min read Python Lists 4 min read Python Tuples 4 min read Python Dictionary 3 min read Python Sets 6 min read Python Arrays 7 min read List Comprehension in Python 4 min read Advanced PythonPython OOP Concepts 11 min read Python Exception Handling 5 min read File Handling in Python 4 min read Python Database Tutorial 4 min read Python MongoDB Tutorial 3 min read Python MySQL 9 min read Python Packages 10 min read Python Modules 3 min read Python DSA Libraries 15 min read List of Python GUI Library and Packages 3 min read Data Science with PythonNumPy Tutorial - Python Library 3 min read Pandas Tutorial 4 min read Matplotlib Tutorial 5 min read Python Seaborn Tutorial 3 min read StatsModel Library - Tutorial 3 min read Learning Model Building in Scikit-learn 6 min read TensorFlow Tutorial 2 min read PyTorch Tutorial 6 min read Web Development with PythonFlask Tutorial 8 min read Django Tutorial | Learn Django Framework 7 min read Django ORM - Inserting, Updating & Deleting Data 4 min read Templating With Jinja2 in Flask 6 min read Django Templates 5 min read Build a REST API using Flask - Python 3 min read Building a Simple API with Django REST Framework 3 min read Python PracticePython Quiz 1 min read Python Coding Practice 1 min read Python Interview Questions and Answers 15+ min read Like
