Cypress SDET / QA Automation Project

Overview

This project is an end-to-end test automation framework using Cypress, designed for validating web application functionality, UI elements, and API responses. It follows best practices in SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) principles, ensuring reliability, maintainability, and scalability in automated testing.

Key Features

• Automated test execution for web applications using Cypress.
• Page Object Model (POM) for scalable test design.
• API testing using Postman and Cypress.
• CI/CD integration for automated test execution in pipelines.
• Detailed test execution reports with screenshots and logs.
• Parallel execution support for faster test runs.
• Data-driven testing approach for robust validation.

Technologies Used

• Test Framework: Cypress
• Programming Language: JavaScript
• Assertions: Mocha & Chai
• API Testing: Postman, Cypress API Requests
• Version Control: Git, GitHub
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions (or Jenkins if applicable)
• Reporting: Mochawesome, Allure Reports

Installation & Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PromojitPaul/cypress-project.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd cypress-project

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Running the Tests

• Open Cypress Test Runner:

  npx cypress open

• Run tests in headless mode:

  npx cypress run

• Execute specific test suite:

  npx cypress run --spec cypress/integration/testfile.spec.js

• Generate test reports:

  npm run report

Test Automation & Quality Assurance

• Functional Testing: Validates core application functionality.
• UI Testing: Ensures UI elements are displayed and function as expected.
• API Testing: Validates API endpoints and responses.
• Regression Testing: Runs automated tests to prevent code breakage.
• Performance Testing: Measures response time for key application workflows.
