SMSPyQA – Automated QA Testing with Pytest

📀 Overview

SMSPyQA is an automated QA testing project for the SMSPy application, built with Pytest, Selenium, and Allure Reports. It includes UI tests for the frontend and API tests for the backend, with centralized configuration and reusable fixtures.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Python 3.13
• Pytest – Test framework
• Selenium WebDriver – UI automation
• Requests – API testing
• Allure – Test reporting
• python-dotenv – Environment variable management

🏠 Architecture & Design Patterns

• Page Object Model (POM) for UI tests
• Fixtures in conftest.py for:
  • Backend and frontend URLs
  • Test credentials
  • API authentication tokens
  • Pre-logged-in drivers for UI tests
• Single source of truth for environment variables via .env loaded in conftest.py
• Separation of concerns: UI and API tests in separate directories
• Constants file for selectors and UI-specific text

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set up .env file

   BASE_URL_BACKEND=https://smspy-backend-pre.onrender.com/api
   BASE_URL_FRONTEND=https://smspy-frontend-pre.onrender.com
   TEST_USERNAME=your_username
   TEST_PASSWORD=your_password

3. Run API tests

   pytest tests/api_tests/ --alluredir=allure_reports

4. Run UI tests

   pytest tests/ui_tests/tests/ --alluredir=allure_reports

5. Serve Allure report

   allure serve allure_reports
