Setup

1. Install Python 3.8 or higher
2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   # Create virtual environment
   python -m venv venv
   
   # Activate on Windows
   venv\Scripts\activate
   
   # Activate on macOS/Linux
   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Download appropriate WebDriver executables and place them in the drivers directory or use webdriver-manager

Running Tests

Using Behave:

# Make sure your virtual environment is activated
behave features/

Using pytest:

# Make sure your virtual environment is activated
pytest

Configuration

Test configuration and parameters are stored in the config directory. You can modify these files to adjust browser settings, test data, and other parameters.

Reports

Test reports are generated in the reports directory. HTML reports are available after test execution.

Adding New Tests

1. Create new feature files in the features directory
2. Implement step definitions in the features/steps directory
3. Create page objects in the page_objects directory
4. Add test data in the config/test_data.py file
