Improving Selenium Test Stability with Pytest Retries and Waits
Introduction Flaky tests—those that fail intermittently—are a common headache for test automation teams. They can be especially frustrating in Selenium tests because of the dynamic nature of web applications. Elements might take time to load, page navigation could be slow, or JavaScript-heavy applications might delay interactions. These issues lead to false negatives in tests, where […]

This milestone event united colleagues from across India—including Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, and Nagpur—and virtual participants, creating a hybrid experience that combined in-person dynamism with the inclusivity of online access. The […]
Elevating Selenium Testing: Comprehensive Reporting with Pytest
When you’re running Selenium tests in Python, particularly in large projects, the ability to generate detailed and readable reports is essential for understanding test results, tracking failures, and improving overall test management. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to integrate reporting into your Selenium tests using Pytest, one of the most popular testing frameworks […]
Managing Dependencies for Test Automation with requirements.txt
When it comes to test automation in Python, managing your dependencies is essential for ensuring consistent and reliable test execution. One of the most effective ways to handle these dependencies is through the requirements.txt file. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what requirements.txt is, its importance in the context of testing, and how to effectively […]
Handling Complex Test Scenarios with Selenium and Pytest: Advanced Techniques
In the world of test automation, Selenium paired with Pytest is a powerful combination. While basic web interactions can be automated easily, complex test scenarios often require advanced techniques. These scenarios may involve dealing with dynamic elements, multiple browser windows, interacting with iFrames, handling AJAX calls, or managing file uploads. In this blog, we will […]
Streamlining Test Automation with Page Object Model (POM) in PyTest and Selenium
In our previous discussion about utilizing PyTest with Selenium, we laid the groundwork for automated testing in web applications. Now, let’s enhance that foundation by exploring the Page Object Model (POM), a design pattern that improves the organization of your code and boosts your tests’ maintainability. What is the Page Object Model (POM)? The Page […]
Transforming Friction into Innovation: The QA and Software Development Relationship
The relationship between Quality Assurance (QA) and Software Development teams is often marked by tension and conflicting priorities. But what if this friction could be the spark that ignites innovation and leads to unbreakable products? The Power of Productive Tension It’s no secret that QA and Development teams sometimes clash. QA and testing professionals are […]
Using PyTest with Selenium for Efficient Test Automation
In our previous post, we explored the basics of Selenium with Python, covering the introduction, some pros and cons, and a basic program to get you started. In this post, we’ll delve deeper into the world of test automation by integrating Selenium with PyTest, a popular testing framework in Python. PyTest makes it easier to […]
Selenium – Uploading a File Using Robot Class
Need For Robot Class: Selenium normally allows file uploads using the send Keys () method for file input fields. However, if the input field is not of type “file,” it might run into problems and here comes the Robot class. The Robot class, part of the java.awt package, helps you perform system-level events, pressing keys, […]
