What is Selenium headless testing and can you provide sample code?

Selenium headless testing allows you to run browser tests without a graphical user interface. Here's a sample code in Python:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')

# Set up the driver
service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

driver.get('https://example.com')
print(driver.title)

driver.quit()

How do I install the necessary packages for this code?

You can install the required packages using pip. Run the following command:

pip install selenium webdriver-manager

Can I run this code on a CI/CD pipeline?

Yes, you can run this code on a CI/CD pipeline. Just ensure that the environment has the necessary dependencies installed.

What are the advantages of using headless testing?

Headless testing is faster since it doesn't render a UI, uses fewer resources, and is ideal for automated testing in CI/CD.
