• Selenium support variour popular browsers. ie. IE, Chrome, Firefox
• Easily integrated with many CI tools., Bamboo, Jenkins, Teamcity

• Allure support Jenkins, Bamboo

Con

• Selenium does not support desktop application
• It is difficult to mangage dynamic properties using Selenium

#How this may be used in a wider team (think about different life cycles(Kanban/Scrum))?

#Scum

• During sprint, corresponding test cases can be added
• Using nightly build, features added can be tested using CI tools
• At the end of each sprint, tests can be executed on staging envirnoment as a regression suite

Kanban

• Kanban also uses PULL, test cases can be added as features are added
• At the same it, automated test can be integrated in build pipline for verification. So features can be verified and delivered to customer as soon as features are completed

What would be required to adopt in a Product Engineering team?

• Reports play import role, Product Engineering team should keep eye on report so they can immediate feedback that features are completed successfully
• Based on report, they proritize features/bugs tickets to be fixed/developed for future delopement

How to use

• Python3 and python3-venv should be installed
• python3 -m venv venv
• User need to add URL of application in system environment variable -On Linux use the command source venv/bin/activate
• pytest -s -v test.py
