Automation_Framework

Overview

Automation_Framework is a robust testing solution for automated end-to-end testing of web applications, specifically designed for the www.saucedemo.com platform. It utilizes Puppeteer for browser automation, allowing tests to run in a headless Chrome environment, and Jest for organizing tests into suites and managing the test lifecycle.

Features

• Puppeteer Integration: Simulates user interactions with web applications in a Chrome browser environment.
• Jest as Test Runner: Structures tests into suites and provides powerful assertions, mocks, and hooks.
• Page Object Model (POM): Adopts POM for maintainable and readable test code.
• Data-Driven Approach: Maintains test data separately for scalability and manageability.
• Screenshot Utility: Captures screenshots for test evidence and debugging, organized into specific categories.
• Comprehensive Test Suites: Contains tests for login, home page functionality, and plans to extend to complete checkout process testing.
• Test Reports: Generates detailed test reports post-execution, aiding in result analysis.

Project Structure

• config/: Configurations for the Puppeteer and Jest setup.
• node_modules/: NPM packages required by the project.
• reports/: Generated test reports for each test execution.
• screenshots/: Categorized screenshots, especially useful for capturing the state of the application at the time of test failure.
• setup/: Setup and teardown scripts to prepare and clean up the test environment.
• src/: The main source directory containing:
  • data/: JSON files (homeData.json, loginData.json) with data for different test scenarios.
  • pages/: Page objects (basePage.js, homePage.js, loginPage.js) to interact with the application.
  • utils/: Utility scripts (testUtils.js) to support various testing activities.
• tests/: Test suites (home.test.js, login.test.js) for the application.
• .gitignore: List of files and folders to ignore in version control.
• package.json & package-lock.json: Project dependencies and their locked versions.

Planned Additions

• Complete Checkout Process Testing: We plan to add tests that will cover the entire checkout process, ensuring all steps from cart to final order confirmation are functioning correctly.
• Extended Test Coverage: Future tests will include payment workflows, and more.
• Enhanced Reporting: Improvements in reporting to include more comprehensive analytics and insights into test executions.
