TestingFramework

Business Requirement:

Create automated tests to cover at least the CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on a website that contains a DB of computers.

TestFramework Description:

This test suite was designed to meet business requirements by implementing a combination of automated test cases and manual tests.
Regardling automation: Cucumber framework has been selected by their capability to display human readable instructions in the tests (gherking language); combined with Selenium to easy locate elements in a powerful faster headless browser, using JUnit for assertion results; getting as a result an automated report. By using Page Object Pattern we ensure the reusability of methods for step definitions and a centralized UI coupling. This test suite is configured to be continuosly integrated in Travis for a fast pace development environment.

TestingFramework Structure:

In order to provide a clear functional framework, the structure has been settup as below:

Backbase-TestingFramework/

|--lib

|--output

• |-index.html = Autmoated generated report

|--src
• |--main
• |--java
• |--resources
|--test
• |--java
• |--featureFiles = Cucumber feature files
• RunTest.class = Specified Runner class to use as pluggin
• |--pageObjects = Page Object Pattern class
• |--stepDefinitions = Defined class methods

|--target
• |--classes
• |--cucumber
• |--generated-test-resources
• |--test-clases

• |--cucumber-report.json

• Backbase-TestingFramework.iml

• pom.xml = Maven dependency file to load required libraries

• Manual tests

• .travis.yml = Configuration file to run in CI

Install: How to run tests locally (Documentation steps in progress...)

• Install Intelij

Open Intellij, Go to Settings -> Plugins, Choose to install Cucumber for JAVA plugin, and Gherking plugin. You might need to restart the IDE.

• Import project folder as a Maven project
• Go to path src > test > stepDefinitions and select file RunTest.
• Right click to display context menu and click > Run'Run Test option. This action will display a new window with the progress for testing running.

• Test can be also runned by console using maven with the following command: - mvn test -B
