Introduction to E2E Tests

What is an E2E Test?

E2E test tests the application from the end user’s perspective. It is important to know that an E2E test does not test frontend or backend. It tests the application as a whole (all components successfully integrated together).

How do we test the UI?

We're using an automated framework Cypress. It is able to simulate real user behaviour e.g. clicks, typing text etc.

Running E2E Tests

How to run the tests?

  1. Build the app locally

    The testing framework needs to access the page, therefore we need to run the development server first. See this section.

  2. Launching the test runner

    Use this command:

    npm run test:e2e

    It opens GUI cypress runner where you can select the test suite and run it by clicking on it.
