Design of a Data-driven Web Automation Test Component
During the Web testing process,certain steps involve a significant number of page operations.Testers need to recon-struct test code based on the structure of the page's Document Object Model(DOM)and the data being filled.This increases the workload for testers and the amount of code to be written.Each page test can generally be summarized as follows:locating page elements-performing element actions.By encapsulating automation test components,the redundancy in code writing dur-ing the testing process can be reduced,allowing developers to focus on data preparation for the testing process.This article in-troduces a method for designing and implementing components for automated testing using WebDriver driven by external data in the Python environment.This method stores the actions of page operations and the information filled in external data files,combining common execution actions and data filling into a component encapsulating the process of page operations.By using this set of components,the separation of"data-operation-code"can be achieved,greatly reducing the amount of code develop-ment for testers.
