Selenium Python Automation Testing from Scratch and Frameworks - Grouping Tests with Pytest Marks to Run Selected Groups

The video tutorial explains how to use the Mark concept in pytest to categorize and run specific test cases, such as smoke or regression tests. It covers the process of marking tests, running them using command line options, and handling warnings related to unregistered marks. The tutorial also discusses skipping tests due to known bugs and introduces the xfail annotation, which allows tests to run without affecting the report, useful for tests that are prerequisites for others.

What is the purpose of marking test cases in pytest?

• To increase test execution speed

• To generate test reports

• To categorize tests for selective execution

• To automatically fix failing tests

In pytest, what is the equivalent of tags in Cucumber?

• Groups

• Categories

• Marks

• Labels

What must be done to avoid warnings when using custom marks in pytest?

• Register the marks in configuration

• Use only predefined marks

• Ignore the warnings

• Run tests in verbose mode

Which option is used in pytest to run tests marked with a specific tag?

• -r

• -m

• -k

• -t

Why is it important to give meaningful names to test cases when using the '-k' option?

• To enhance test report readability

• To improve test execution speed

• To ensure accurate test selection

• To reduce test file size

What is a common reason for skipping a test case in pytest?

• There is a known bug affecting the test

• The test is not yet implemented

• The test is not important

• The test is too complex

What is the effect of using the 'skip' mark in pytest?

• The test is executed but not reported

• The test is skipped and not executed

• The test is executed twice

• The test is executed with higher priority

What is the purpose of the xfail mark in pytest?

• To execute tests with higher priority

• To mark tests as deprecated

• To skip tests entirely

• To execute tests without reporting their status

In what scenario is xfail particularly useful?

• When tests are deprecated

• When tests are too complex

• When tests are prerequisites for others

• When tests are not important

Which annotation is unique to pytest and not found in other frameworks like JUnit?

• Group

• Mark

• Xfail

• Skip
