# Automated Testing with Selenium

## Prerequisites
- Python 3 installed
- Chrome browser installed
- ChromeDriver downloaded and added to the system PATH ([Download ChromeDriver](https://sites.google.com/chromium.org/driver/))
- MySQL Database configured with appropriate credentials

## Running the Tests :



# Configure Database Restoration:

- Open test_assign_ta.py.
- Update the PASSWORD variable in the restore_database fixture with your MySQL root password.
- Running the Tests
- Open the test_assign_ta.py file and update the following variables with your login credentials:

``` Login 
    username = "your_username@example.com"
    password = "your_password"
Customize the list of courses and test cases in the courses_to_test variable:
```

``` The_courses_and_test_cases_to_test
    courses_to_test = [
        {"id": 1, "name": "Your Course Name 1", "ta_assignments": {" Your TA Name 1": "Ta assigned successfully."}},
        {"id": 2, "name": "Your Course Name 2", "ta_assignments": {"Your TA Name 2": "The selected TA is already assigned to this course."}},
        # Add more courses as needed , also make sure the informations your entering is correct and same in your database ! 

        # for exemple if you have a Ta named : [MPIANA] in your database and in the script you write [mpiana]. it will result on error or failed.
    ]
```
# Run the tests with this command :

- pytest test_assign_ta.py


## How It Works : 

- The login function logs into the web application using the provided credentials.

- After successful login, the script waits for redirection to the Admin page and verifies the URL.

- The assign_ta function assigns a Teaching Assistant (TA) to a course and handles any alerts that may occur.

- The tests in test_assign_ta.py use the pytest framework to run multiple test cases for TA assignments.

- Test results, including success and failure information, are printed to the console and logged in test_results.txt.

- Note: Ensure that the URLs and element locators in the code match the structure of the web application you are testing. Adjustments may be necessary based on the actual HTML structure.

- Feel free to customize the list of courses and test cases based on the TAs and courses available in your instance of the web application.

- For database restoration, make sure to provide the correct MySQL root password in the restore_database fixture. If any issues occur during testing, check the console output and logs for troubleshooting.
