Pytest + Selenium: A Match for Testing
summary
Live demos combine pytest 3.0.6, WebDriver + Firefox, and Selenium bindings to automate real sites, showing test code that opens CNN, finds elements by id/link text, clicks and fills forms, and uses explicit waits (five seconds) to avoid timing flakes. Examples show using @pytest.mark to select or skip tests, xfail semantics, reading tracebacks to locate failing lines, and several demos that fail then get fixed so the automation actually runs end to end.
