Introduction ### 1.1 Purpose This document establishes the comprehensive end-to-end (E2E) testing strategy for [PRODUCT/PROJECT NAME]. E2E tests validate that the entire system works correctly as an integrated whole, from user interface through all backend services to data persistence and external integrations. ### 1.2 Goals - **Validate critical user journeys** end-to-end across all system components - **Ensure system integration** between frontend, backend, database, and external services - **Verify business workflows** function correctly in production-like environments - **Detect integration issues** early in the development cycle - **Provide confidence** for releases through automated regression testing - **Document expected behavior** through executable specifications ### 1.3 Audience - QA Engineers implementing test automation - Developers understanding test coverage - Product Managers verifying business requirements - DevOps Engineers setting up test infrastructure - Project Managers tracking quality metrics ### 1.4 System Overview <!-- ACTION REQUIRED: Provide brief system overview based on architecture --> **Product Description**: [Brief description of the product] **Key Components** (from architecture): - Frontend: [e.g., React web app] - Backend: [e.g., FastAPI REST API] - Database: [e.g., PostgreSQL] - External Integrations: [e.g., Payment gateway, Email service] - Mobile: [e.g., React Native app (if applicable)] **Reference Architecture**: See `docs/architecture.md` for detailed system architecture. --- ## 2. Test Strategy ### 2.1 Testing Approach **E2E Test Philosophy**: E2E tests in this project focus on: - ✅ **Critical user paths** that deliver core business value - ✅ **System integration points** between major components - ✅ **Business workflows** spanning multiple features - ✅ **User-visible behavior** from UI to database - ❌ **NOT unit-level logic** (covered by unit tests) - ❌ **NOT component-level details** (covered by integration tests) **Test Pyramid Position**: ``` /\ ← E2E Tests (Few, slow, broad coverage) / \ ← Integration Tests (More, faster, component integration) /____\ ← Unit Tests (Many, fast, focused) ``` E2E tests are the **smallest layer** of the test pyramid but provide the **highest confidence** that the system works as a whole. ### 2.2 Testing Types **Primary E2E Testing**: - **UI-driven tests**: Simulate real user interactions through the browser/app - **API-driven tests**: Validate backend workflows and integrations - **Database validation**: Verify data persistence and integrity - **Cross-system flows**: Test integrations with external services **Supplementary Testing** (within E2E scope): - **Visual regression**: Detect unintended UI changes - **Accessibility**: Validate WCAG compliance in user flows - **Performance**: Measure response times under realistic load - **Security**: Test authentication, authorization, and data protection ### 2.3 Test Levels | Level | Focus | Examples | Execution Frequency | |-------|-------|----------|---------------------| | **Smoke Tests** | Critical happy paths | Login, view dashboard, logout | Every commit | | **Regression Tests** | Core features | All critical user journeys | Daily/nightly | | **Full Suite** | Comprehensive coverage | All scenarios including edge cases | Weekly/pre-release | | **Release Tests** | Production readiness | Critical paths + data migration | Before each release | ### 2.4 Entry and Exit Criteria **Entry Criteria** (when to run E2E tests): - [ ] Unit tests pass ≥ 90% - [ ] Integration tests pass ≥ 85% - [ ] Code review completed - [ ] Test environment is available and stable - [ ] Test data is prepared **Exit Criteria** (when E2E test run is complete): - [ ] Smoke tests pass 100% - [ ] Regression tests pass ≥ 95% - [ ] No P0 (critical) failures - [ ] All test reports generated - [ ] Failed tests triaged and documented --- ## 3.

Test Data Management ### 6.1 Test Data Strategy **Approach**: [Choose: Fixed fixtures, Factory pattern, Database seeding, API-generated] **Principles**: - **Isolation**: Each test uses independent data to avoid conflicts - **Repeatability**: Tests produce same results with same data - **Cleanup**: Data is cleaned up after test completion - **Privacy**: No real user data; synthetic data only - **Realism**: Test data resembles production data patterns ### 6.2 Test Data Types | Data Type | Source | Storage | Lifecycle | |-----------|--------|---------|-----------| | **User Accounts** | Factory/Seeding | Database | Created before test, deleted after | | **Product Data** | Fixed fixtures | JSON files | Loaded once, reused | | **Transaction Data** | Generated per test | Database | Created during test, deleted after | | **Configuration** | Environment variables | Config files | Persistent | | **External API Responses** | Mock data | JSON fixtures | Static, version controlled | ### 6.3 Test Data Generation **User Data Factory** (example): ```typescript // Example: TypeScript test data factory class UserFactory { static create(overrides?: Partial<User>): User { return { email: `test-${Date.now()}@example.com`, firstName: 'Test', lastName: 'User', password: 'SecurePass123!', role: 'user', ...overrides } } static createAdmin(): User { return this.create({ role: 'admin' }) } } ``` ### 6.4 Test Data Cleanup **Cleanup Strategy**: - **Automatic**: Use test framework hooks (afterEach, afterAll) - **Database transactions**: Rollback after each test (if possible) - **Soft delete**: Mark test data with `is_test_data=true` flag - **Scheduled cleanup**: Daily job to remove old test data **Example Cleanup**: ```typescript afterEach(async () => { // Delete test users created in this test await database.users.deleteMany({ email: { contains: 'test-' } }) }) ``` ### 6.5 Sensitive Data Handling <!-- ACTION REQUIRED: Define how to handle sensitive data in tests --> **Rules**: - ❌ **NEVER** use real user data, emails, or phone numbers - ❌ **NEVER** use real payment card numbers (use test cards) - ❌ **NEVER** commit secrets, API keys, or passwords to git - ✅ **ALWAYS** use fake data generators (Faker.js, etc.) - ✅ **ALWAYS** use environment variables for credentials - ✅ **ALWAYS** use test payment gateways (Stripe test mode, etc.) **Test Payment Cards**: | Card Type | Number | CVV | Expiry | Result | |-----------|--------|-----|--------|--------| | Visa | 4242 4242 4242 4242 | Any 3 digits | Future date | Success | | Mastercard | 5555 5555 5555 4444 | Any 3 digits | Future date | Success | | Declined | 4000 0000 0000 0002 | Any 3 digits | Future date | Card declined | --- ## 7. Test Environments ### 7.1 Environment Configurations <!-- ACTION REQUIRED: Define test environments based on architecture --> | Environment | Purpose | URL | Data | External Services | |-------------|---------|-----|------|-------------------| | **Local** | Development testing | localhost:3000 | Seed data | Mocked | | **CI** | Automated test runs | ephemeral | Generated per run | Mocked | | **Staging** | Pre-production testing | staging.example.com | Anonymized prod-like | Mix of real/mocked | | **QA** | Manual QA testing | qa.example.com | Curated test data | Real (test accounts) | ### 7.2 Environment Setup **Local Development Environment**: ```bash # Example: Docker Compose setup docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d # Run database migrations npm run db:migrate # Seed test data npm run db:seed:test # Start application npm run start:test ``` **CI Environment**: ```yaml # Example: GitHub Actions - name: Setup test environment run: | docker-compose up -d postgres redis npm run db:migrate npm run db:seed:test ``` ### 7.3 Service Mocking Strategy **When to Mock**: - External payment gateways (use test mode or mock) - Email services (use test inbox or mock SMTP) - SMS services (use mock provider) - Third-party APIs with rate limits - Services with costs per request **When to Use Real Services**: - Internal microservices (test real integration) - Database (use real database, not in-memory) - Authentication service (test real auth flow) **Mocking Tools**: - **API Mocking**: WireMock, MSW (Mock Service Worker), Nock - **Email**: Mailhog, Mailtrap, Ethereal - **Database**: Test database instance (not mocked) ### 7.4 Infrastructure Requirements **Compute**: - CPU: [e.g., 4 cores minimum] - Memory: [e.g., 8GB RAM minimum] - Storage: [e.g., 50GB SSD] **Network**: - Stable internet connection for external API calls - VPN access if testing internal services - Firewall rules for test environment access **Dependencies**: - Database: [PostgreSQL 15, Redis 7, etc.] - Message Queue: [RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc. if needed] - Cache: [Redis, Memcached, etc.] - External Services: [Payment gateway test environment, etc.] --- ## 8. Test Framework & Tools ### 8.1 Framework Selection <!-- ACTION REQUIRED: Select and justify test framework based on tech stack --> **Primary Testing Framework**: [e.g., Playwright] **Justification**: - ✅ [Reason 1: Cross-browser support] - ✅ [Reason 2: Auto-wait for elements] - ✅ [Reason 3: Parallel execution] - ✅ [Reason 4: Strong TypeScript support] **Alternative Considered**: [e.g., Cypress] - ❌ [Why not chosen: Limited cross-browser support] ### 8.2 Tool Stack | Category | Tool | Purpose | Version | |----------|------|---------|---------| | **UI Testing** | [Playwright] | Browser automation | [Latest] | | **API Testing** | [Supertest] | HTTP assertion | [Latest] | | **Mobile Testing** | [Appium/Detox] | Mobile automation | [Latest] | | **Test Runner** | [Jest/Vitest] | Test execution | [Latest] | | **Assertion Library** | [Expect/Chai] | Assertions | [Latest] | | **Data Generation** | [Faker.js] | Fake data | [Latest] | | **Visual Testing** | [Percy/Applitools] | Screenshot comparison | [Latest] | | **Reporting** | [Allure/ReportPortal] | Test reports | [Latest] | | **CI/CD** | [GitHub Actions] | Pipeline | - | ### 8.3 Framework Configuration **Example: Playwright Configuration** ```typescript // playwright.config.ts import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test'; export default defineConfig({ testDir: './tests/e2e', fullyParallel: true, forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI, retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0, workers: process.env.CI ? 4 : undefined, reporter: [ ['html'], ['json', { outputFile: 'test-results/results.json' }], ['allure-playwright'] ], use: { baseURL: process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000', trace: 'on-first-retry', screenshot: 'only-on-failure', video: 'retain-on-failure', }, projects: [ { name: 'chromium', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'] } }, { name: 'firefox', use: { ...devices['Desktop Firefox'] } }, { name: 'webkit', use: { ...devices['Desktop Safari'] } }, { name: 'mobile', use: { ...devices['iPhone 13'] } }, ], }); ``` ### 8.4 Custom Utilities **Common Utilities to Implement**: - **Authentication helper**: Reusable login flow - **Database helpers**: Seed data, cleanup - **API helpers**: Common API calls - **Wait helpers**: Custom wait conditions - **Screenshot utilities**: Consistent screenshot naming - **Test data generators**: User, product factories --- ## 9. Test Architecture ### 9.1 Design Pattern **Pattern**: [e.g., Page Object Model (POM)] **Structure**: ``` tests/ ├── e2e/ │ ├── pages/ # Page Object Models │ │ ├── LoginPage.ts │ │ ├── DashboardPage.ts │ │ └── CheckoutPage.ts │ ├── fixtures/ # Test data │ │ ├── users.json │ │ └── products.json │ ├── helpers/ # Utility functions │ │ ├── auth.ts │ │ ├── database.ts │ │ └── api.ts │ ├── scenarios/ # Test scenarios │ │ ├── authentication/ │ │ │ ├── login.spec.ts │ │ │ └── registration.spec.ts │ │ ├── checkout/ │ │ │ └── purchase.spec.ts │ │ └── smoke/ │ │ └── critical-paths.spec.ts │ └── config/ # Test configuration │ └── setup.ts ``` ### 9.2 Page Object Example ```typescript // Example: Page Object Model export class LoginPage { constructor(private page: Page) {} // Locators private emailInput = () => this.page.locator('#email') private passwordInput = () => this.page.locator('#password') private loginButton = () => this.page.locator('button[type="submit"]') private errorMessage = () => this.page.locator('.error-message') // Actions async navigate() { await this.page.goto('/login') } async login(email: string, password: string) { await this.emailInput().fill(email) await this.passwordInput().fill(password) await this.loginButton().click() } // Assertions async expectLoginSuccess() { await expect(this.page).toHaveURL('/dashboard') } async expectLoginError(message: string) { await expect(this.errorMessage()).toHaveText(message) } } ``` ### 9.3 Test Structure **AAA Pattern** (Arrange-Act-Assert): ```typescript test('User can login with valid credentials', async ({ page }) => { // ARRANGE - Setup test data and preconditions const user = await UserFactory.create() const loginPage = new LoginPage(page) await loginPage.navigate() // ACT - Perform the action being tested await loginPage.login(user.email, user.password) // ASSERT - Verify expected outcomes await loginPage.expectLoginSuccess() await expect(page.locator('.welcome-message')).toContainText(user.firstName) // Verify in database const dbUser = await database.users.findByEmail(user.email) expect(dbUser.lastLoginAt).toBeDefined() }) ``` ### 9.4 Test Organization **Naming Conventions**: - Test files: `*.spec.ts` or `*.test.ts` - Page objects: `*Page.ts` - Helpers: `*.helper.ts` - Fixtures: `*.fixture.ts` or `*.json` **Test Tags**: ```typescript test.describe('Authentication', { tag: '@smoke' }, () => { test('Login with valid credentials', { tag: '@critical' }, async () => { // test implementation }) test('Login with invalid credentials', { tag: '@negative' }, async () => { // test implementation }) }) ``` --- ## 10.
