Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Fixtures and Their Importance in Pytest Framework

The video tutorial explains the concept of fixtures in pytest, highlighting their role in setting up and tearing down test environments. It covers how to create and use fixtures, including practical applications in Selenium for browser setup and configuration. Advanced techniques using the yield keyword are discussed, allowing for both pre-test setup and post-test teardown within a single fixture. The tutorial concludes with a preview of future exercises involving Selenium.

What is the primary purpose of a fixture in Pytest?
