A Solution

To look at the solution I came up with, look for these files:

• Test Plan - veriff.feature in a Gherkin-style format
• UI Tests - test_ui.py
• API Tests - test_api.py
• Veriff Code abstraction (pages and api) - veriff.py
• Bugs found - BUGS.md

Besides that, my solution uses:

• Python as my language
• pytest as my test framework
• Pylenium to automate the browser
• requests to automate the API requests

⏰ I gave myself 2 hours to do this

Setup

• 🐍 Python v3.8 or higher is required
• 📦 Poetry as the package manager
• 👨🏽‍💻 Microsoft's Python extension installed in VSCode

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/qa-at-the-point/example-qa-assessment.git

2. Install packages with Poetry

   # Installs all packages from pyproject.toml file
   poetry install
   
   # Then copy the path of the virtual environment
   poetry env info --path

3. Configure VSCode to use the proper virtual environment

   • Open Command Palette (CMD + SHIFT + P or CTRL + SHIFT + P)
   • Find and click Python: Select Interpreter
   • Paste the virtual environment path if it's not listed

Run Tests

Examples and Recipes should include the instructions and commands to run the tests. However, the base command is always the same:

# Run all tests
poetry run pytest

💡 The terminal will show test results and summary once the Test Run is complete

Run UI Tests

poetry run pytest --html=report.html -n 3 tests/test_ui.py

• --html will create an HTML report that you can view in the browser
• -n specifies the number of tests to run in parallel
• tests/test_ui.py executes tests within the test_ui.py module

Example of report.html

Run API Tests

poetry run pytest --html=report.html -n 3 tests/test_api.py
