+## Introduction
+
+End-to-End (E2E) testing verifies that the application functions correctly from a user's perspective by testing the complete application workflow. This document outlines the E2E testing approach for the Home Monitor application.
+
+### Goals of E2E Testing
+
+- Validate critical user flows function correctly
+- Ensure components work together as expected
+- Detect regression issues before production deployment
+- Verify application behavior in real-world scenarios
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Home Monitor uses Cypress for E2E testing with two primary approaches:
+
+1. **Mock Testing (Without Server)**: Fast, reliable tests using mocked DOM elements and data
+2. **Real Environment Testing (With Server)**: Full application testing with a running development server
+
+### Mock vs. Real Testing Comparison
+
+| Aspect | Mock Testing | Real Environment Testing |
+|--------|-------------|--------------------------|
+| Speed | Very fast (< 1s per test) | Slower (depends on app loading time) |
+| Reliability | Highly stable | May be affected by server/network issues |
+| Coverage | Limited to structure and basic interactions | Tests actual rendering and behaviors |
+| Dependencies | None (no server needed) | Requires development server |
+| Best for | CI/CD, quick verification | Final validation, regression testing |
+
+## Test Environment Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js (v14+)
+- npm or yarn
+- Chrome browser (for visual testing)
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+cd project-softweng/web-app
+npm install
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Option 1: Tests with Mock Environment (No Server)
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests in headless mode
+export CYPRESS_SKIP_SERVER_CHECK=true
+npm run test:e2e
+
+# Run specific test file
+export CYPRESS_SKIP_SERVER_CHECK=true
+npx cypress run --spec "tests/e2e/app.spec.ts"
+```
+
+### Option 2: Tests with Real Application (Server Required)
+
+#### Automated Script Method
+
+```bash
+# Use the automated script (starts server, runs tests, stops server)
+./tests/e2e/run-e2e-tests.sh
+```
+
+#### Manual Method
+
+1. Start the development server:
+ ```bash
+ # Terminal 1
+ npm run serve
+ ```
+
+2. Run the tests:
+ ```bash
+ # Terminal 2
+ # Headless mode
+ npx cypress run --spec "tests/e2e/app.spec.ts"
+
+ # Interactive mode
+ npx cypress open
+ ```
+
+### Interactive Mode (Development)
+
+```bash
+npm run cypress:open
+```
+
+This opens the Cypress Test Runner where you can:
+- Select individual tests to run
+- See test execution in real-time
+- Debug failing tests with time-travel debugging
+
+## Test Structure
+
+### Directory Structure
+
+```
+web-app/
+├── tests/
+│ ├── e2e/ # E2E test files
+│ │ ├── app.spec.ts # Main application tests
+│ │ └── run-e2e-tests.sh # Script for running tests with server
+│ └── support/ # Support files
+│ ├── commands.ts # Custom Cypress commands
+│ └── e2e.ts # Global setup for E2E tests
+└── cypress.config.ts # Cypress configuration
+```
+
+### Test Files Organization
+
+Each test file follows this structure:
+1. **Setup**: Import dependencies and set up the test environment
+2. **Beforehooks**: Prepare the application state before each test
+3. **Test Cases**: Individual test scenarios grouped by feature
+4. **Helper Functions**: Support functions for test cases
+
+## Test Cases Overview
+
+The E2E test suite covers the following scenarios:
+
+1. **Application Loading**
+ - Verify application loads with correct title
+ - Confirm main layout sections are visible
+
+2. **Control Panel Functionality**
+ - Verify control panel buttons are present
+ - Test "Fetch Measurements" button works
+ - Test "New Measurements" button works
+
+3. **Filtering Controls**
+ - Test user selection dropdown
+ - Test room selection dropdown
+ - Test device selection dropdown
+
+4. **Data Visualization**
+ - Verify chart displays correctly
+ - Test chart updates when data changes
+
+5. **Error Handling**
+ - Test error state display
+ - Test empty data state display
+
+6. **Responsive Design**
+ - Verify layout adapts to desktop viewport
+ - Verify layout adapts to mobile viewport
+
+## Writing New Tests
+
+### Adding a New Test Case
+
+1. Identify the feature or flow to test
+2. Determine the expected behavior
+3. Add a new test case to the appropriate spec file:
+
+```typescript
+it('should [describe expected behavior]', () => {
+ // Setup any preconditions
+
+ // Perform actions
+
+ // Assert expected outcomes
+});
+```
+
+### Custom Commands
+
+Custom commands are available to simplify test writing:
+
+```typescript
+// Select an option from a multiselect dropdown
+cy.selectMultiselectOption('user-select', 'user1');
+
+// Wait for chart to load and be visible
+cy.waitForChart();
+
+// Check application loading state
+cy.checkLoadingState(false);
+```
+
+### API Mocking
+
+Use Cypress's intercept feature to mock API responses:
+
+```typescript
+// Mock GET request
+cy.intercept('GET', '**/api/measurements*', {
+ statusCode: 200,
+ body: {
+ data: [
+ { time: new Date(2023, 0, 1, 10, 0).getTime(), value: 22.5, type: 'temperature' }
+ ]
+ }
+}).as('getMeasurements');
+
+// Wait for the intercepted request
+cy.wait('@getMeasurements');
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Test Independence**
+ - Each test should be able to run independently
+ - Avoid dependencies between tests
+ - Reset state between tests
+
+2. **Selector Strategy**
+ - Prefer data attributes for test selectors (e.g., `data-cy`, `data-testid`)
+ - Avoid using CSS classes that might change with styling updates
+ - Establish a consistent selector naming convention
+
+3. **Handling Asynchronous Operations**
+ - Use explicit waits rather than arbitrary timeouts
+ - Wait for specific elements or network requests rather than fixed delays
+ - Handle loading states appropriately
+
+4. **Test Data Management**
+ - Use consistent test data
+ - Mock external dependencies
+ - Consider using fixtures for complex data structures
+
+5. **Error Handling**
+ - Add proper error handling in tests
+ - Use `Cypress.on('uncaught:exception')` for expected application errors
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| Tests fail with 401 errors | Add `Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', () => false)` to handle authentication errors |
+| Elements not found | Increase timeouts or check selectors; ensure elements are in the DOM |
+| Click actions failing | Use `{ force: true }` option if elements might be covered by overlays |
+| Tests passing locally but failing in CI | Check environment differences; ensure CI has all required dependencies |
+| Timeouts on waiting for elements | Increase `defaultCommandTimeout` in cypress.config.ts |
+
+### Debugging Strategies
+
+1. **Use Cypress's Debug Tools**
+ - Add `.debug()` to pause execution at a specific point
+ - Use the time-travel debugger in interactive mode
+
+2. **Add Logging**
+ - Use `cy.log()` to add informative messages in the test
+ - Check browser console for application errors
+
+3. **Visualize Test State**
+ - Enable screenshots and videos for failed tests
+ - Use `cy.screenshot()` at critical points
