Hands-On Web UI Testing
summary
Hands-on demo shows a runnable Web UI test suite built with Python 3 + pytest + Selenium WebDriver, using the page object model to test DuckDuckGo search. Tests create a fresh ChromeDriver per test with an implicit 10s wait, use a pytest fixture that yields the driver and always calls quit to avoid zombie processes, and a single end-to-end search test runs in ~10–30 seconds; scaling options include pytest-xdist and Selenium Grid for hundreds or 1,500 nightly tests.
