Assignment 3 of Software Testing (Sem 221)

Initial setup

• Setting up Moodle build using Docker: https://github.com/catp3rson/Software_Testing_asm3/tree/main/moodle_build
• Install browsers:
  • Chrome: sudo apt-get install google-chrome
  • Firefox: sudo apt-get install firefox
  • Edge: Download .deb file here and run sudo dpkg -i microsoft-edge-beta_*.deb
• Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Config webdriver manager based on this guide. Configurations for webdriver manager should be written in .webdriver_manager.env (see .webdriver_manager_example.env for the template)
• Provide credentials for authentication (used to log in to BKeL) in features/utils/config.py: see config_example.py for the template

Writing test cases

• Based on the workflow of Cucumber
• The steps are defined in Python files inside the features/steps folder. The file common.py contains definitions of steps that are used in many scenarios. The step description and associated function name should NOT be duplicated.
• The scenarios are defined in .feature file inside the features folder
• The utils folder contains reusable code that is too lengthy to be put inside step definitions
• Environmental controls are defined in features/environment.py. Read more about it here

Running test cases

• Go to the top-level folder Software_Testing_asm3
• Run tests for specific functional requirements: ./run_tests.sh func_req_1.feature func_req_2.feature ...
  • Example: ./run_tests.sh private_file_upload.feature
• Run all tests: ./run_tests.sh
• In order to run a scenario/feature in multiple browsers, use the @multibrowser tag (see features/private_file_upload.feature file for example).
• You can change the list of browsers to run tests in by modifying CONFIG["DRIVERS"]["BROWSERS"] in features/utils/config.py. The field CONFIG["DRIVERS"]["DEFAULT_BROWSER"] specifies which browser to use by default when a scenario/feature is not run in multiple browsers.

Notes

• It's best to install pre-commit hooks to re-format the files before pushing your work to origin. Commands:
  • pip install pre-commit
  • pre-commit install
