Generating XML And HTML Report In PyUnit For Test Automation

Irrespective of the test framework being used, one aspect that would be of interest to the various stakeholders in the project e.g. developers, testers, project managers, etc. would be the output of the test results. Keeping a track of the progression of test suites/test cases and their corresponding results can be a daunting task. The task can become more complex in the later stages of the project since the product would have undergone various levels of testing.

16 Best Practices Of CI/CD Pipeline To Speed Test Automation

Every software project involves some kind of ‘processes’ & ‘practices’ for successful execution & deployment of the project. As the size & scale of the project increases, the degree of complications also increases in an exponential manner.
