Test Automation Execution Guide
Overview
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to run the test automation framework for the Expense Tracker application.
Prerequisites Before Running Tests
1. Flask Application Must Be Running
The tests require the Expense Tracker Flask app to be running on
http://127.0.0.1:5000.Start the Flask Application:
Expected Output:
2. Chrome Browser Must Be Installed
Verify Chrome is installed:
chrome --version # Expected: Google Chrome 121.0.6167.1603. ChromeDriver Must Be Compatible
Verify ChromeDriver matches Chrome version:
chromedriver --version # Expected: ChromeDriver 121.0.6167.160If versions don't match, download correct ChromeDriver from:
https://chromedriver.chromium.org/
4. Python Dependencies Must Be Installed
Verify dependencies:
If not installed:
Running Tests - Quick Start
Method 1: Windows Batch Script (Recommended for Windows)
# Double-click or run run_tests.batInteractive Menu:
Method 2: Bash Script (Recommended for Linux/Mac)
Method 3: Direct Pytest Commands (Recommended for CI/CD)
Test Execution Commands
Run All Tests
Expected Output:
Run Specific Test Suite
Run by Test Marker
Run Single Test Case
Run Tests in Parallel
# 4 parallel workers pytest TestAutomation/Tests/ExpenseTest.py -n 4 -v --alluredir=allure-resultsRun with Custom Timeout
# 10 minute timeout per test pytest TestAutomation/Tests/ExpenseTest.py --timeout=600 -v --alluredir=allure-resultsRun Headless Mode (No Browser Window)

✓ Behaviors grouped by Feature/Suite
✓ Test steps with timestamps
✓ Screenshots (on failures)
✓ Logs (accessible from each test)
✓ Timing information
✓ Historical trends (if run multiple times)
