## 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
