Unit & Framework Testing

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

Running Framework Tests

pytest tests/framework

Test Structure

Framework tests are located in tests/framework/ and follow the test_*.py naming convention.

AppConfig Tests

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

DriverFactory Tests

Checks that the correct driver strategy (PlaywrightDriver, HttpxClient, or AppiumDriver) is instantiated based on the execution_mode in the AppConfig.

Driver Implementation Tests

Verifies that individual strategies (Web, API, Mobile) correctly implement the UiDriver or ApiClient interfaces and handle lifecycle events (start/stop).

Mocking in Tests

We use Pytest's unittest.mock to isolate components during testing. For example, when testing the DriverFactory, we mock the driver classes to verify they are instantiated with the correct configuration without actually launching a browser or client.
