    Integration With Selenium - Prerequisites

  • Copy your PyUnit test files to your TestComplete computer.

2. Configure Your TestComplete Project
3. Configure the PyUnit Item to Run Needed Tests
  • In Module, enter the path to your Python module (.py) that contains needed tests. You can click the ellipsis button and browse for the Python module in the subsequent dialog.

  • Select the mode you want to use to run tests:

    • To run all tests defined in your Python module, select Run all tests from the module in the Modes section.

    • To run only specific tests, select Run specified tests in the Modes section.

      On the Tests list, specify the tests you want to run. To add a test, click Add and enter the test routine name. For example, test1 or TestCaseClass1.test1.

      To run all test methods defined in a test case, enter the test case class name, for example, TestCaseClass1.

      To remove a selected test from the list, click Remove. To temporary exclude a test from a test run, clear the check box next to the test name in the list.
