Selenium Test Automation – Saucedemo

UI test automation framework built with Selenium, pytest, and Page Object Model. The project demonstrates a clean, scalable approach to browser-based test automation.

What this project demonstrates

• Designing a Selenium automation framework from scratch
• Practical use of Page Object Model (POM)
• Separation of test logic and page logic
• Pytest fixtures and test organization
• Handling real-world UI automation challenges
• Conscious CI vs local execution decisions

Tech stack

• Python
• Selenium WebDriver
• pytest
• webdriver-manager

Project structure

pages/ # Page Object Model classes tests/ # UI test cases (login, inventory, cart) conftest.py # Browser and test fixtures

How to run tests locally

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate #windows
# source venv/bin/activate #Linux/MacOS

pip install -r requirements.txt
pytest -s

CI vs Local execution

• Lightweight pytest tests are executed in CI
• Selenium UI tests are intended for local execution
• This avoids browser instability on shared CI runners
• Reflects common real-world QA practice

API testing

API and contract testing are covered in a separate dedicated repository: https://github.com/harhala7/QA_API_Contracts_Project
