Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Creating Custom Utilities

The lecture focuses on creating custom utilities in test automation to simplify code and enhance reusability. It explains how to create a utility method for verifying link presence, implement it in a base class, and use it across multiple test cases. The video also covers running tests, debugging errors, and ensuring code execution without issues.

What is the main advantage of creating custom utilities in test automation?

• To increase the complexity of the code

• To ensure each test case is unique

• To make the code less readable

• To reuse code across multiple test cases

What is the purpose of the 'Verify Link Presence' utility function?

• To check if a link is clickable

• To verify the presence of a link text

• To delete a link from the page

• To change the color of a link

Why should reusable components be placed in a base class?

• To ensure they are only used once

• To make them inaccessible to other classes

• To make the code more complex

• To allow all test cases to inherit and use them

How can you call a method from the base class in your test case?

• By copying the method into the test case

• By renaming the method

• By using self dot method name

• By using the class name directly

What was the error encountered when running the test case?

• A missing required positional argument

• An incorrect file path

• A syntax error in the code

• A missing import statement

What was the cause of the error related to the custom utility?

• Incorrect method name

• Calling the method with the class name instead of an object

• Missing return statement

• Incorrect parameter type

What should be done to avoid errors when defining page objects?

• Skip defining constructors

• Avoid using classes

• Define constructors and page objects properly

• Use global variables instead
