Unit Testing

TAFLEX PY uses Pytest for unit testing its core components. This ensures that the framework's logic (configuration, locators, factory) is reliable independent of the automation engines.

Running Unit Tests​

pytest tests/unit

Test Structure​

Unit tests are located in tests/unit/ and follow the test_*.py naming convention.

ConfigManager Tests​

Verifies that environment variables are correctly validated using Pydantic and that default values are applied.

LocatorManager Tests​

Ensures that locators are correctly merged from Global, Mode, and Page-specific JSON files.

DriverFactory Tests​

Checks that the correct driver strategy (Web, API, or Mobile) is instantiated based on the execution mode.

DatabaseManager Tests​

Mocks database drivers to verify that queries are correctly routed to PostgreSQL or MySQL connections.

Mocking in Tests​

We use Pytest's monkeypatch / unittest.mock to isolate components during testing, especially for filesystem operations (fs) and database drivers.
