# Tutorial: Automated Testing using Selenium Python
In this 'Automated Testing using Selenium Python Tutorial' repo, we have covered the following usecases:
* Execution of simple Python tests
* Automating keyboard and mouse interactions
* Switching tabs & windows
* Handling drop-downs, radio-buttons, and alerts
* Automating Frame and iFrame interactions
## Pre-requisites for test execution
**Step 1**
Create a virtual environment by triggering the *virtualenv venv* command on the terminal
```bash
virtualenv venv
```
**Step 2**
Navigate the newly created virtual environment by triggering the *source venv/bin/activate* command on the terminal
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
```
**Step 3**
Procure the LambdaTest User Name and Access Key by navigating to [LambdaTest Account Page](https://accounts.lambdatest.com/security). You might need to create an an account on LambdaTest since it is used for running tests on the cloud Grid.
**Step 4**
Add the LambdaTest User Name and Access Key in the *Makefile* that is located in the parent directory. Once done, save the Makefile.
## Dependency/Package Installation
Run the *make install* command on the terminal to install the desired packages (or dependencies) - Pytest, Selenium, etc.
```bash
make install
```
With this, all the dependencies and environment variables are set. Instead of PyUnit/*unittest*, the Pytest framework is used for test execution. The following websites are used for demonstration:
* [LambdaTest Selenium Playground](https://lambdatest.com/selenium-playground)
* [LambdaTest E-commerce Playground](https://ecommerce-playground.lambdatest.io/)
Follow the below mentioned steps to run automated tests using Selenium Python:
**Step 1**
Set *EXEC_PLATFORM* environment variable to *cloud*. Trigger the command *export EXEC_PLATFORM=local* on the terminal.
**Step 2**
Trigger the command *make clean* to clean the remove _pycache_ folder(s) and .pyc files
**Step 3**
Trigger the respective *make* command on the terminal to run the test(s). For example, run the command *make mouse_interactions_test* for triggering mouse interaction tests.
As seen above, the test execution was successful and the status is "Completed". You can find the status of test execution in the [LambdaTest Automation Dashboard](https://automation.lambdatest.com/build).
Simply type *make help* on the terminal to know the command for running the intended test(s).
