Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Debugging and Developing Custom Utilities

The video tutorial covers setting up a test framework, moving objects to a homepage, and creating reusable functions for dropdown selections. It explains how to implement a method for selecting options by text and discusses testing and debugging techniques. The tutorial concludes with an introduction to data-driven testing, emphasizing the importance of avoiding hardcoded values.

What is the purpose of moving objects to the home page in the context of this tutorial?

• To increase the loading speed of the page

• To improve the visual design of the page

• To centralize object management and related getters

• To enhance the security of the application

Why is it important to place reusable code in utilities?

• To prevent unauthorized access to the code

• To ensure the code runs faster

• To make the code more accessible and organized

• To reduce the file size of the main script

What parameters are required for the 'select option by text' method?

• Only the text to select

• Only the locator of the dropdown

• The locator and the text to select

• The dropdown element and the text to select

What is the first step in using the 'select option by text' method in a test case?

• Create a new test case

• Write a new function for the dropdown

• Remove all existing dropdown code

• Import the necessary package

How can you debug a test using PyCharm's test runner?

• By using a third-party debugging tool

• By manually checking the code for errors

• By using the debug mode to stop at breakpoints

• By running the test in normal mode

What is the benefit of using data-driven testing?

• It allows for faster test execution

• It removes hardcoded values, making tests more flexible

• It increases the security of the test data

• It eliminates the need for test scripts

What should you do if a test breaks during execution?

• Restart the test from the beginning

• Check the output or use debugging tools to identify the issue

• Delete the test and create a new one

• Ignore the error and continue
