QA Automation Framework

A scalable test automation framework built with Python and pytest.

Project Structure

This repository serves as a demonstration of a scalable, maintainable, and extensible end-to-end (E2E) and integration automation infrastructure for testing the ExpandTesting Practice Site. The goal is to establish a robust framework that can handle automation for different testing scenarios effectively.

Features

• Modular API client with proper error handling
• Type-annotated Python code following PEP 8
• Pytest-based test execution
• Integration and E2E test coverage
• Data generation utilities
• Parallel test execution support

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run tests:

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with parallelization
pytest -n auto

# Run specific test type
pytest tests/e2e/
pytest tests/integration/

Key Components

• APIClient: Core client for making HTTP requests
• Data Models: Pydantic models for request/response validation
• Fixtures: Reusable test components in conftest.py
• Utils: Helper functions for test data generation

Dependencies

• Python 3.10+
• pytest
• requests
• pydantic
• pytest-xdist (parallel execution)

Best Practices

• Use type hints consistently
• Follow PEP 8 style guide
• Write descriptive test names
• Use fixtures for test setup
• Clean up test data after execution
• Handle errors appropriately
• Document code with docstrings
