An automated test suite to test the core functionality of https://netflix.com , as well as add additional functionality for users(video tools, random show picker, etc.). Key features include:

• Optimized speed(no time.sleep() or implicit waits anywhere)
• Fully integrated into CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins(windows 10 VM in Google Cloud)
• POM design to minimize maintenance costs(in time)
• Elegant report generation with unittest/xmlrunner

• "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M LOOKING AT." Watch gif of test execution, then checkout VideoPage tests, it contains very straightforward tests(mute, pause, add subtitles, etc.).
• This test suite is organized in a Page-Object-Model(POM) design pattern. TLDR: tests contain the test logic (asserts, etc.), and Page objects pagemodels hold the logic for interacting with the page (e.g. press_play_buttonn).
• The POM design pattern is most the verbose(and the most complex) to write, but is the easiest to maintain in terms of both speed and complexity. See selenium.dev/POM

• See requirements.txt for the simple requirements.
• Choose a browser/webdriver of your choice (see selenium.dev/webdrivers) I'm currently using:
  • Google Chrome version 81.0.4044.92, ChromeDriver version 81.0.4044.69
  • Firefox version v75.0, geckodriver-v0.26.0-win64
  • Edge version 81.0.416.53, msedgedriver version: 81.0.409.0

• You need to create a secrets.py file in the root directory that will hold all of your credentials and paths. In secrets.py set the following constants as strings MY_EMAIL, MY_PASSWORD, MY_CHOMEDRIVER_PATH, MY_GECKODRIVER_PATH, MY_MSEDGEDRIVER_PATH, URL_OF_VIDEO_TO_TEST

Tests are executed using the standard unittest framework commands(or xmlrunner for reports)

• To execute all tests $ python -m xmlrunner discover -o xmltestresults
• To execute a specific test module $ python -m xmlrunner tests/test_headerpage.py -o xmltestresults

A Jenkins build will only trigger when the windows 10 VM instance is spun up in Google Cloud. To reduce costs, I will only spin up the VM when major changes are made. For the same reason, the Jenkins badge won't display live results.

Why a windows 10 VM? Great question. It helps to be able to watch the tests run in real time, thus a Desktop is required. Connecting with Remote Desktop is priceless for troublesome builds.

As fun as it was to automate your web app, please reopen the public API! I would love to be able to sort my shows by more than one category at a time, among other things, without having to build an entire project to do so. I know there are drawbacks to adding more complicated features, but reintroducing the public API would be an awesome alternative.

• First and foremost to Netflix for creating a beautiful UI. The UI is optimized for screen-readers which also makes it heaven for locating elements. Almost every element has a human-readable data-uia
• I lay no claim to the underlying software of Netflix's web app.
• Shoutout to the helpful devs on the Selenium Slack/IRC channel, see slack.com/selenium
