#Download safari for linux

[carby]

Here's your monthly reminder to download Firefox on all your devices and set it to default! On Android, Linux, Windows and Mac, also get the uBlock Origin browser plugin. And if you're a dark mode bitch like me, Dark Reader is your friend 😎 iOS sadly still won't allow you to customize browsers outside of Safari so. Out of luck there. But Firefox will still block a good chunk of ads on it by itself!

update for the 4 of you reading this that care (this isn't meant to be pessimistic I just mean that very few of my friends follow me on here lol)

I feel like my art has been stagnating for a long time and it's mostly because I limit myself to fandoms and the attention I get for my fanart messes with the way I value my self-worth so a few months back I decided I wanted to start doing a lot more with my art to gain more personal fulfillment and to give myself a direction i actually wanted to take it in so that i felt like i was making progress and going somewhere with it. I was making plans to create a proper portfolio of things that weren't star wars yaoi or the dudes from fall out boy fucking, and I was planning on launching a YouTube channel where I posted speedpaints and stuff and I actually made some decent progress

I drew something I was really proud of and I knew the content in it would be pretty popular despite still technically being fanart, and I had a time-lapse recorded for it and everything, I was even halfway through the script. I also had a number of original drawings I'd done that I never posted anywhere and I felt like by this time I should have been able to properly launch this stuff and start taking appropriate steps to have my art reach a wider audience.

butttttt then my laptop died suddenly and randomly (i was literally using it just fine, i lifted it up from my lap and it shut off and wouldnt turn back on) and it's been in the repair shop for a week and they still don't know what's wrong with it. they think it's a motherboard issue and if it ends up being at least $600 to repair it I'm just getting a new laptop. I think they can transfer the data on the hard drive to an external that I have and if so that'd be wonderful because that laptop contains all the work I've been doing these last few months for this thing I wanna do with my art.

thankfully since then my roommate is letting me have one of his backup gaming pcs (he works in tech so he has plenty) and I've been able to get set up there in case I need to start my progress over, but the issue is that it's a Linux and clip studio literally doesn't work with Linux because the desktop version of the program apparently relies on either edge being installed if it's windows, or safari being installed if it's Mac. so I can't sign in or download the full version, I'm stuck with the super limited trial version, and because of this I've been trying to get comfortable with Krita. which thankfully can record time-lapses.

my mental health has only been improving since moving to Seattle despite some pretty low lows so thankfully, even though this is uh a pretty big deal all things considered, I'm handling it really well. I had one horrible encounter with a psychiatrist when trying to get treatment for my anxiety and adhd, but since my insurance here sucks since I'm poor and nothing has worked for my other issues I've been fortunate to be able to see doctors about, I've officially become a crystal mommy and I've resorted to ~alternative medicines~ and as a result I've had a considerable amount of improvement in a very short amount of time with the things I've struggled with getting help with from a professional psychiatrist. so yeah, I'm only getting better

biggest issue that still impacts me is that my attempts at befriending people irl have not borne much fruit, granted I haven't been trying super hard but with a huge covid spike coming up soon, said weak attempts are going to have to be put on hold for the time being. especially since the main thing I was literally going to do as soon as Christmas was over was join this drawing group that meets up every other Sunday, but now I don't have my laptop so it'll just have to wait regardless of what the state of things are looking like otherwise

uhhh what else. oh yeah I got into Chinese yaoi and Indian cinema and I got out of my head enough to start playing genshin impact again so basically I'm a huge faggot ama

OH SHIT I forgot to mention I got another horrible job and I'm kind of trapped into keeping it for at least a year unless something catastrophic happens because it's giving me really important experience in the field I'm trying to go into, but when I say it sucks I mean it's probably the most disorganized place I've ever worked at that wasn't a locally owned franchise. I work at an open-access low income healthcare organization that's all over Seattle so when I say it's terrible and disorganized I think you get the picture

anyway I don't know how often I'll be on here but I'm bored and lonely and scrolling through tumblr seems like a better use of my time than spending an entire shift looking at r/shittyfoodporn

Do you want to test website in different browsers? Browser check is absolutely must for testing your website looks consistent in different browsers. We have shortlisted a list of best tools that can help you with cross browser compatibility of your website. Multiple browser testing is not a easy task. Cross-browser testing solutions make it easy for developers and designers to ensure their website always looks and operates as it should on a variety of browsers and mobile devices. Today's users have the option of browsing websites on many platforms and system configurations so these tests get more and more complicated. In addition to operating systems and devices, there are dozens of popular versions of browsers, not all of which may render HTML, CSS and JavaScript the same way. Therefore you need a cross-browser testing solution to quickly compare and test websites in different systems and identify incompatibilities. In this article I want to show you six popular cross-browser testing solutions and their advantages and disadvantages. BrowseEmAll BrowseEmAll is a desktop application which includes desktop browser and mobile browser simulators, automated analytics, screenshots and side-by-side compatibility testing. It is a downloadable program that runs off your local machine. Once launched, users can select their resolution and their browser and will then be able to live test their website within that environment without any server side component. Developer tools can be launched alongside the website to inspect elements and correct any layout issues. BrowseEmAll can be used both on production environments and locally hosted websites. Mobile devices are available not just based on the operating system and browser but also based on the device specification itself. A variety of tablets and popular phones are available and the program is updated on a regular basis to include new browsers and devices. Screenshots can be taken on a multitude of desktops and mobile devices and then compared to each other to identify layout problems. Like the live testing the screenshots are generated directly on the local device without any server side interaction. Up to four browsers can be compared side-by-side where user interaction, form inputs and scrolling is synchronized scroll the compared browsers. The built-in compatibility tester will go through a websites's code to automatically highlight any potential issues in compatibility, which can then be adjusted. BrowseEmAll is available on Windows (you can signup for the OS X and Linux beta) as a one off purchase including 1 year of update and maintenance. Support renewal starts at low price. Please note that the author of this article is also the founder of BrowseEmAll. Browserling As a live, interactive cross-browser testing solution, Browserling supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari (up until 5.1). Developers load up their website and can immediately see how it will look in their chosen browser version. Browserling does not use an emulator or other form of simulation; instead, they run the selected browser in a virtual machine. This makes their results very accurate. As a HTML5 solution which runs directly in the browser, Browserling also works easily on any system. Testing can be saved in screenshots and a video recording feature is being worked on. Browserling can be used for free on a limited basis by developers who want to test it out first. The free version of Browserling is time limited and offers all of Browserling's emulations except for a variety of versions of Internet Explorer. Browserling's major advantage is that it's extremely simple to use: just type in a URL and then click on the relevant browser. While Browserling is great for desktop browser testing it currently does not support mobile devices. The paid version of Browserling is one of the most affordable tools available and starts at low monthly price. CrossBrowserTesting.com Offering live

testing through a comprehensive online service, CrossBrowserTesting supports automated screenshots, testing pages hosted on localhost, a variety of mobile platforms and the ability to retain snapshots and video. Through its authentication services, CrossBrowserTesting can be used to test websites that are behind login gateways, making it easier for developers to test areas of their site that may not be open to other cross-browser testing solutions. CrossBrowserTesting supports all the major browsers and mobile operating systems. With over 100,000 customers, it is one of the most popular cross-browser testing services available today. It is fast and comprehensive and there is a free trial available for developers who want to try before they buy. The service is additionally very easy to use; developers just choose their operating system and their browser and then enter their URL. The website is then displayed, within the selected virtualized environment. Automated screenshot tests can be conducted and websites can be live tested with or without plugins like Flash to ensure complete compatibility regardless of a user's system configuration. Both monthly and yearly subscription plans are available on a tiered payment structure starting a low monthly payment. BrowserStack With BrowserStack developers are able to automate and streamline their cross-browser compatibility tests. BrowserStack gives developers a choice of operating systems, browsers and mobile emulators, and the ability to run automated tests and live debugging sessions. As a cloud-based service, BrowserStack can be used nearly on every device where you can run a modern browser. It let's you quickly generate screenshots of a website's layouts on a multitude of operating systems to identify any layout issues and inconsistencies. All tests through BrowserStack are run through real browsers and official mobile emulators, ensuring accuracy. Local and live servers can be tested and debugging tools are included in the service for developers who want to test in a live environment. BrowserStack is one of the most popular cross-browser compatibility tools available and is used by a variety of large and international businesses. BrowserStack is an affordable option billed on a monthly subscription basis. Browsershots As a free, simple tool, Browsershots allows developers to generate screenshots of their website in a huge combination of systems and browsers.Simply select which systems they want to get their website screenshots on and then enter in their URL. Browsershots supports Linux, Windows, Mac and BSD -- it's one of the only web compatibility and platform design tools that supports all four platforms. It's also entirely free, though premium accounts are available for developers who want to keep their images and don't want to wait in the queue for a longer period of time. Browsershots is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to quickly retrieve a screenshot for a particular operating system and browser. But there are still some downsides. As a completely web-based service, Browsershots only supports websites that are already live. Also Browsershots does not support mobile devices and it only takes screenshots -- it doesn't provide any live testing. Further, the queues can be very long; developers can expect to wait anywhere between ten to forty minutes to get their screenshots, especially for older Internet Explorer versions. As mentioned above Browsershots is free to use. To avoid longer wait times a premium account can be purchased for a monthly subscription. MultiBrowserViewer An all-in-one desktop-based tool, MultiBrowserViewer installs on a developer's machine and allows for live testing of websites both in production environments and hosted locally. MultiBrowserViewer includes standalone virtualized browsers, standalone mobile browsers and emulators to provide access to a wide variety of environments. The virtualized browsers are quite accurate but the software does not support live testing for other operating systems.

MultiBrowserViewer also offers a variety of development tools, such as HTML validation, auto-correction, and spell check. It is available in five languages and is one of the few cross browser compatibility programs that can be used offline. The program itself is only available for Windows and includes a cloud based service to generate screenshots in various environments. MultiBrowserViewer offers an annual licensing structure and support renewal at low cost. Summary All six of the tools listed above will be valuable additions to a developer's testing arsenal. They are also all available for free trials or offer free services, so that developers can test them all out and determine which is the best option for them. In the end testing needs can be very different based on the environment and so we cannot declare any tool the best one in absolute terms. Daniel Herken is the author of the free cross browser development handbook and head of development at the cross browser testing tool BrowseEmAll. He currently lives in Augsburg (Germany) and loves to chat about browsers, mobile devices and web development.

Introduction: Why Selenium Software Testing is in Demand Today

Imagine launching a new web application. Everything looks perfect until users discover bugs that slow them down or block their tasks. It’s a developer’s nightmare and a business risk no one wants. This is where Selenium software testing steps in as a game-changer.

Selenium is one of the most popular tools for automated software testing. It helps teams test web applications quickly, catch bugs early, and release reliable products. According to a recent survey by Stack Overflow, Selenium ranks among the top five automation testing tools used by professionals worldwide. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced tester, learning Selenium can open doors to high-paying jobs and career growth.

If you are thinking about kickstarting a career in Selenium automation testing, or want to upskill, this guide covers everything you need to know. We will explore Selenium tools, tips, and tricks to help you get started. By the end, you’ll see why enrolling in a Selenium training course can give you an edge.

What is Selenium Software Testing?

A Simple Explanation

Selenium is an open-source tool for automating web browsers. It allows testers to write scripts that automatically interact with web elements like buttons, forms, and links—just like a user would. These automated tests help find errors, check functionality, and ensure the web application works across different browsers.

Why Selenium?

Free and Open-Source: No licensing costs.

Cross-Browser Support: Works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and more.

Cross-Platform: Supports Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Multiple Programming Languages: Works with Java, Python, C#, and others.

Large Community Support: Easy to find help, tutorials, and tools.

Components of Selenium: Understanding the Tools

1. Selenium WebDriver

Directly interacts with the browser.

Used for writing test cases that mimic real user actions.

Supports multiple programming languages.

2. Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

A browser extension that records and plays back test scripts.

Ideal for beginners due to its simple, no-coding approach.

3. Selenium Grid

Enables parallel test execution on multiple machines and browsers.

Saves time by running multiple tests at the same time.

Benefits of Selenium Automation Testing

Industry-Relevant Advantages

Speed and Efficiency: Automated tests are faster than manual testing.

Accuracy: Reduces human error.

Reusability: Test scripts can be reused across projects.

Scalability: Selenium Grid makes it easy to scale testing for large applications.

Real-World Example

A leading e-commerce company reduced its testing time by 60% after implementing Selenium Grid. Automated tests ran across browsers and devices, ensuring the site worked flawlessly during a major product launch.

Getting Started: How to Learn Selenium Step-by-Step

Step 1: Learn the Basics of Software Testing

Before diving into Selenium, understand manual testing concepts like test cases, test plans, and bug tracking.

Step 2: Set Up Your Selenium Environment

Install Java or Python (commonly used with Selenium).

Download and install Eclipse IDE or any code editor of your choice.

Download the Selenium WebDriver for your browser.

Example Setup (Java + Selenium)

java

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class FirstSeleniumTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path_to_chromedriver");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.get("https://www.google.com");

        driver.quit();

    }

}

Step 3: Write Your First Automation Script

Start with simple actions:

Open a website

Click a button

Fill a form

Verify text on a page

Step 4: Practice More Complex Scenarios

Handle pop-ups and alerts.

Automate file uploads/downloads.

Work with dynamic web elements.

Step 5: Learn Selenium Grid

Practice running tests on multiple browsers and machines in parallel.

Tips for Mastering Selenium Automation Testing

Start Simple, Then Go Complex

Begin with basic scripts before moving to advanced testing frameworks like TestNG.

Understand XPath and CSS Selectors

They are essential for locating elements on a web page.

Learn TestNG or JUnit

These frameworks make it easier to manage your Selenium test cases.

Use Explicit Waits

Handle dynamic page elements that take time to load.

java WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("elementID")));

Keep Your Scripts Modular

Create reusable functions to avoid repeating code.

Version Control with Git

Manage your codebase efficiently by using Git for version control.

Stay Updated

Selenium frequently updates; stay informed about the latest versions and features.

Tricks That Make a Big Difference

Use Browser Developer Tools

Inspect elements directly and quickly find XPath or CSS Selectors.

Take Screenshots for Reporting

Capture screenshots when a test fails. It helps in debugging and reporting.

java

File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File("screenshot.png"));

Parallel Testing with Selenium Grid

Run multiple tests simultaneously, reducing the overall test execution time by half.

Handle Captcha with Manual Intervention

Automate everything else but leave Captcha handling to a manual step or use third-party services (if allowed).

Common Challenges in Selenium and How to Overcome Them

Challenge

Solution

Dynamic Elements

Use dynamic XPath and wait commands.

Handling Pop-ups and Alerts

Use driver.switchTo().alert() to handle browser alerts.

Synchronization Issues

Use implicit and explicit waits to manage timing problems.

CAPTCHA Handling

Perform manual intervention or skip test cases.

Core Components

WebDriver: The main interface for testing web applications.

WebElement: Represents an HTML element on a web page.

Browser Drivers: Bridge between your test scripts and browsers.

Writing Your First Test Script

Setting Up Your Script

Let’s start with a simple script to open a web page and check its title.

Import the Necessary Modules: python Copy code from selenium import webdriver

Set Up WebDriver: python Copy code driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='path/to/chromedriver')

driver.get("https://www.example.com")

Verify the Page Title: python Copy code assert "Example Domain" in driver.title

driver.quit()

Running Your Script

Save your script and run it using Python. If everything is set up correctly, your browser should open, navigate to the specified URL, check the title, and then close.

Interacting with Web Elements

Locating Elements

Selenium provides several ways to locate elements on a web page:

By ID: python Copy code element = driver.find_element_by_id("element_id")

By Name: python Copy code element = driver.find_element_by_name("element_name")

By XPath: python Copy code element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//tag[@attribute='value']")

Performing Actions

Once you have located an element, you can perform various actions:

Clicking a Button: python Copy code element.click()

Entering Text: python Copy code element.send_keys("sample text")

Clearing Text: python Copy code element.clear()

Handling Waits in Selenium

Implicit Waits

Implicit waits tell WebDriver to wait for a certain amount of time before throwing an exception if it cannot find an element immediately.

python

Copy code

driver.implicitly_wait(10)  # waits for 10 seconds

Explicit Waits

Explicit waits are used to wait for a specific condition to be met before continuing.

python

Copy code

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(

    EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "element_id"))

)

Managing Multiple Windows and Frames

Switching Between Windows

Sometimes, your test needs to interact with multiple windows. Here’s how to switch between them:

python

Copy code

# Store the ID of the original window

original_window = driver.current_window_handle

# Open a new window and switch to it

driver.switch_to.new_window('window')

driver.get("https://www.new-window.com")

# Switch back to the original window

driver.switch_to.window(original_window)

Handling Frames

Frames are used to embed HTML documents within another HTML document.

python

Copy code

# Switch to frame by name or ID

driver

python

Copy code

.switch_to.frame("frame_name_or_id")

# Switch back to the default content

driver.switch_to.default_content()

Taking Screenshots with Selenium

Capturing Screenshots

Screenshots are incredibly useful for debugging and record-keeping. Here’s how to capture and save a screenshot with Selenium:

python

Copy code

driver.save_screenshot('screenshot.png')

Saving Screenshots of Specific Elements

If you only want to capture a specific element, you can use the screenshot method on a WebElement:

python

Copy code

element = driver.find_element_by_id("element_id")

element.screenshot('element_screenshot.png')

Advanced Selenium Features

Handling Alerts and Pop-ups

Selenium can handle JavaScript alerts and pop-ups. Here’s how:

Accepting an Alert: python Copy code alert = driver.switch_to.alert

alert.accept()

Dismissing an Alert: python Copy code alert = driver.switch_to.alert

alert.dismiss()

Executing JavaScript

You can execute custom JavaScript using Selenium’s execute_script method:

python

Copy code

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")

Debugging and Error Handling

Common Errors and Solutions

NoSuchElementException: This occurs when Selenium can’t find an element. Double-check your locator and ensure the element is present.

TimeoutException: This happens when an explicit wait times out. Make sure the conditions you are waiting for are met within the specified time.

Using Try-Except Blocks

To handle exceptions gracefully, use try-except blocks:

python

Copy code

try:

    element = driver.find_element_by_id("non_existent_id")

except NoSuchElementException:

    print("Element not found!")

Best Practices for Selenium Testing

Keep Your Tests Independent

Ensure each test can run independently without relying on the state left by previous tests. This improves reliability and makes debugging easier.

Use Page Object Model (POM)

The Page Object Model is a design pattern that encourages storing locators and interactions with web pages in separate classes. This makes your code more maintainable.

Regularly Update WebDrivers

Keep your browser drivers updated to match the latest browser versions to avoid compatibility issues.

Integrating Selenium with Other Tools

Continuous Integration (CI)

Integrate your Selenium tests with CI tools like Jenkins to automate running your tests whenever code changes are made.

What is Selenium?

Before we dive into the details of using Selenium with Python, let's take a quick step back to understand what Selenium is. Simply put, Selenium is an open-source tool that allows developers to automate web browsers. It supports multiple programming languages like Java, C#, Ruby, and, of course, Python!

Why Selenium?Selenium's main advantage is its cross-browser compatibility. Whether you’re working with Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, Selenium has you covered. Additionally, it supports different operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it a versatile tool for automation testing.

Now that we have an understanding of what Selenium is, let's get started with the Basic setup and usage of Selenium with Python.

Selenium Python Basics

Installing Selenium and Setting up Python

The first step towards mastering Selenium PYTHON: (Basic + Advance + Framework) is to install Selenium and set up Python. You can install Selenium using Python's package manager, pip.

bash

Copy code

pip install selenium

Next, you'll need to install the browser drivers. For instance, if you're working with Chrome, you need to install ChromeDriver. It's straightforward – just download it from the official website and place it in a folder that's part of your system's PATH.

Your First Selenium Python Script

Once everything is set up, let's jump into our first Selenium Python script. In this basic example, we will automate a simple task: opening a website and printing its title.

python

Copy code

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a new instance of the Chrome driver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Open a website

driver.get("https://www.google.com")

# Print the title of the page

print(driver.title)

# Close the browser

driver.quit()

In this example, the script opens Google, fetches the title of the webpage, prints it to the console, and then closes the browser. This is the foundation of what you can do with Selenium Python—automating web tasks easily.

Working with Web Elements

One of the main purposes of using Selenium with Python is to interact with different web elements, such as buttons, input fields, and checkboxes. Here's how you can locate and interact with elements:

python

Copy code

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Locate element by ID

search_box = driver.find_element(By.ID, "searchInput")

# Type something into the search box

search_box.send_keys("Selenium Python")

# Click a button

search_button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "searchButton")

search_button.click()

driver.quit()

This script uses Selenium’s powerful API to find and interact with elements. You can find elements by their ID, name, class, CSS selectors, or XPath. This flexibility is what makes Selenium Python such a valuable tool for web automation.

Advanced Selenium Python Techniques

Moving beyond the basics, let’s explore some advanced techniques in Selenium PYTHON: (Basic + Advance + Framework) that will take your web automation skills to the next level.

Handling Multiple Windows and Tabs

Many modern web applications open new windows or tabs. Handling these windows in an automation script can be tricky, but Selenium Python makes it easier.

python

Copy code

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Open a new window or tab

driver.execute_script("window.open('https://www.google.com', '_blank');")

# Switch between windows

windows = driver.window_handles

driver.switch_to.window(windows[1])

print(driver.title)  # This will print the title of the new window/tab

driver.close()       # Close the current window

driver.switch_to.window(windows[0])  # Switch back to the original window

This is particularly useful when your test cases involve multiple windows, allowing you to automate the entire user journey seamlessly.

Working with Alerts and Pop-Ups

Pop-ups and alerts are common on many websites. With Selenium Python, you can easily handle these interruptions.

python

Copy code

alert = driver.switch_to.alert

# Accept the alert

alert.accept()

# Alternatively, to dismiss the alert

# alert.dismiss()

With this technique, you can automate your response to different types of pop-ups and continue with your automation tasks.

Scrolling and Actions

Sometimes, interacting with elements at the bottom of the page requires scrolling. Selenium makes scrolling as easy as interacting with other elements.

python

Copy code

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")

Additionally, Selenium provides an Action Chains class to handle more complex user actions like drag-and-drop, mouse hover, and right-click.

python

Copy code

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

action = ActionChains(driver)

# Move to an element and perform a hover action

menu = driver.find_element(By.ID, "menu")

action.move_to_element(menu).perform()

These advanced techniques in Selenium Python are crucial for real-world web automation tasks.

Building Selenium Python Framework

As you advance further, you’ll want to build a robust automation framework to make your tests scalable and maintainable. A Selenium Python framework involves creating a well-structured, reusable, and extendable suite of automated test scripts. Let's look at how you can set up your framework.

Why Create a Selenium Framework?

A well-designed Selenium Python framework helps you:

Increase test efficiency by reusing code.

Reduce maintenance with modular and scalable test cases.

Enhance readability and collaboration across teams.

Creating the Structure

Your basic Selenium Python framework should be divided into multiple layers, such as:

Test Layer: Contains the actual test scripts.

Page Object Layer: Encapsulates the logic for interacting with different web pages.

Utilities Layer: Includes reusable methods such as logging, screenshot capture, and configuration management.

Implementing the Page Object Model (POM)

The Page Object Model (POM) is a popular design pattern used in test automation to enhance test maintainability. Each web page is represented by a class, and all the actions and elements of the page are encapsulated in this class.

python

Copy code

class HomePage:

    def __init__(self, driver):

        self.driver = driver

        self.search_box = driver.find_element(By.ID, "searchInput")

    def search(self, text):

        self.search_box.send_keys(text)

        self.search_box.submit()

Integrating with Test Frameworks

To make your automation tests scalable and professional, you can integrate Selenium Python with a testing framework like pytest or unittest.

python

Copy code

import unittest

from selenium import webdriver

class TestHomePage(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):

        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    def test_title(self):

        self.driver.get("https://www.example.com")

        self.assertIn("Example", self.driver.title)

    def tearDown(self):

        self.driver.quit()

if __name__ == "__main__":

    unittest.main()

This integration allows you to generate detailed reports, run parallel tests, and easily manage test suites.
