PyCon Pune 2018

This talk will focus on my own module (WTDrivers) which can be used in web based automated testing.
In web based automation the biggest issue is to locate any widget or to traverse through all the elements in the navigation bar because selenium uses mechanism like xpath to locate widget or element.

• what if id changes?

• what if new elements get added onto your navigation list that items would be untracked by script?

• what if some changes are caused in regression?

• what if xpath is derived from text and interface is localized?

This are some real life scenarios which would interrupt your script flow.

In WTDrivers module we have used selenium in combination with PIL and tesseract which omits some limitations of selenium and dynamic UI changes.
This is a generic approach towards web-traversal which can be tweak around and can automate more complex stuffs.
