# Tutorial: Automated Testing using Selenium Python



Image Credit




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.

![1_Makefile](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8c98b44c-efd7-4a50-8647-e5477c007068)

## 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).
