+## 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

+└── 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
