Web UI Automation Using Pytest-Bdd

Introduction

There are a variety of testing tools and frameworks in the industry, but not all of them are worth your investment. With changing requirements, it is much more difficult to find a tool that fits well with your requirements.

In the last decade, Python has gained a lot of attention from both developers and testers. In testing from creating test frameworks to performing security testing, continuous efforts have been done to use Python in software testing.

Having said that Pytest is taking a huge share in this competition as it is one of the most commonly used Python libraries. Python and its related tools are highly used probably because they are more flexible for people with no or little programming expertise as compared to other programming languages.

The Pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.

Major Features of Pytest:

1. It can be used with your current unit test framework.

2. You can use fixtures to support different scopes and different types of testing.

3. A great CLI to control your tests.
