UI Structure

• ui-test
  • features
    • cart.feature
    • checkout.feature
    • DEMO.feature
    • inventory.feature
    • login.feature
  • step-definitions
    • cart
      • given.js

Notes:

There does not seem to be a generally approved standard for directory structure in tests, and is more dependent on the team's choice. For this reason, I found it more convenient to keep a When/Given/Then structure for scalability purposes.

API Structure

• api-test
  • tests
    • api.test.js
  • test-setup.js

Local Dev Set Up

Clone the repository to your local computer

git clone https://github.com/dionisggr/saucedemo.git

Use the package manager npm to install dependencies:

npm install

Don't forget to audix fixes if needed:

npm audit fix

Run the UI automation tests in parallel (Chrome & Firefox):

npx wdio wdio.conf.js

Run the API automation tests:

npm test

---

Notes

Tests run in instances of 5 for performance consideration in the user-end when running the tests.

You may change the maximum instances 10 (maximum amount of tests) or higher, as your machine allows.

In wdio.conf.js:

...

exclude: [
  // 'path/to/excluded/files'
],

maxInstances: 5,   // Change to 10, or your preference

capabilities:[{
  ...
}]
