Test example

Feature: Twitter search

  Background: Setup environment
    Given I set base URL to "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search"
    And I set "Authorization" header to "context.twitter_auth"

  Scenario: Search for tweets
    When I make a GET request to "tweets.json" with parameters
    |q|
    |stanfy|
    Then the response status code should equal 200
    And the response structure should equal "twitterSearchData"
    And the response header "status" should equal "200 OK"

You can get test feature files from the project repo

CI reports

Behave support JUnit reports, that are easily parsed by CI tools

To enable JUnit reports, create behave.ini file:

[behave]
junit=true

Reports are generated into /reports folder

Another useful options to add into behave.ini are:

stdout_capture=False to add printed output into reports

show_timings=no to hide timing of each step

Project Structure

Feature files are intended to locate in /features folder

Corresponding steps are located in /features/steps

Overall project structure is as follows:

+-- features/

    +-- conf.yaml // store project config (urls, global variables, etc.)

    +-- environment.py // context setup steps (e.g. load from config)

    +-- *.feature // feature files

    +-- steps/

        +-- __init__.py // used to import predefined steps

        +-- json_responses.py // response structures described in Trafaret format

        +-- *.py // steps related to corresponding feature (e.g. "login.py" contains steps that are related to "login.feature")
