1. Test setup:

   • Tests are written in python 2.7,
   • I don't know cucumber/ruby framework so I wanted to experiment with selenium + python
   • I'm using selenium 3
   • ./config.json is a config file defining browser and tested page url
   • test are grouped by header menu option and executed in suite

2. Organization

   • I wanted to imitate BDD approach presented in cucumber/ruby so I created steps: given, and, then
   • Thanks of that tests are cleaner and easier to read
   • I'm using page object pattern design pattern: locators were separated, I created objects for significant elements on a page/ or page itself. So it means that you can see object for header menu, side menu and of course object like login page.

3. Features

   • I wanted to find features possible to test without login. This is a production environment and I didn't want to push any unnecessary data.
   • I choose: RSS page and Shop page.
   • My first test "test_user_can_not_add_new_feed_unless_login" consists of following steps: user navigates to RSS page, he tries to add new feed but He is redirected to login page
   • Second test "test_user_can_browse_list_of_top_feeds" consists of following steps: user navigates to top feeds/syndicated feeds page, browse feeds, and come back to RSS page
   • Third test "test_user_cannot_upgrade_to_paid_account_unless_login" check that user cannot upgrade account, click button add to card if he is not logged in

4. How to run tests locally

   • install python 2.7
   • download pip
   • install selenium
   • download drivers geckodriver version , firefox and chrome driver,
   • set update path env variable with driver location
   • to run test suite from command line in windows : enter script: cd [path]\GalezaLiveJournal : execute run_suite.bat or : enter script/ suite folder: cd [path]\GalezaLiveJournal\test_suite : export project location to pythonpath: set PYTHONPATH=[path]\GalezaLiveJournal : execute suit: python test_suite.py
