Swiss Testing Night - Test Automation Tools

Overview

This repository is dedicated to the Swiss Testing Night event, focusing on testing a System Under Test (SUT) using different Test Automation (TA) tools, including Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright. The SUT used for this demonstration is derived from the Tab Tracker repository by Cody Seibert and updated by Xebia.

Repository Structure

Installation and Setup

Before running the tests, ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed:

install_dependencies.bat

This batch file installs the required dependencies for the project, including the necessary Node.js packages and libraries. For that you need to have Node Js installed: You must at least have NODE version 8.2.1

For Selenium you need net6.0 installed (command 'dotnet' should work).

install_dependencies.bat

If there are any problems, please run the commands in the file manually.

Starting the Application

To start the System Under Test (SUT), use the following batch file:

start_application.bat

This batch file initializes and runs the Tab Tracker application.

start_application.bat

Running Test Suites

We have test suites written in different Test Automation (TA) tools: Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright. You can run them individually or in sequence using the following batch files:

run_selenium.bat

This batch file executes the test suite using Selenium.

run_selenium.bat

run_cypress.bat

This batch file executes the test suite using Cypress.

run_cypress.bat

run_playwright.bat

This batch file executes the test suite using Playwright.

run_playwright.bat

Each batch file runs a set of predefined test cases for the SUT, using the respective TA tool.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/swiss-testing-night-ta-tools.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd swiss-testing-night-ta-tools

3. Install dependencies:

install_dependencies.bat

4. Start the application:

start_application.bat

5. Run the desired test suite:

run_selenium.bat
run_cypress.bat
run_playwright.bat

Special Case (Tricentis Tosca)

1. Install Tricentis Tosca

"https://xebiagroup.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/productquality.ch/Gedeelde%20documenten/General/Tosca/Tosca%20installation%20packages/2023.1.1?csf=1&web=1&e=AO7VjD"

2. Set up new Project

Follow the instruction:

"https://intranet-swissq.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ZUNFT/pages/10156081156/Swiss+Testing+Day+2025"

3. Run Execution list with Powershel Script

Please open the toscaexe.ps1 file in a editor and check, if the workplace path and the executionScript path are correct. Once all path are correct, you can execute the Powershell Script

Acces Tabtracer App via local network

Since the Tabtracker application does not work in the virtual environment like Parallels Desktop, we use a Windows notebook as a "server" and access it externally from MacBooks.

1. Start the TabTracker Application on your Windows device
2. Make sure all devices are connected to the same network
3. Make sure there is no active firewall between
4. To run the tests you must make sure that the urls match this format: http://Deine IPv4-Adresse:8080
5. Make sure to change the baseURL in this file: "*client/src/services/Api.js"
