Development and Integration of End-to-End Tests
My task was to perform end-to-end testing of web applications and integrate these tests into GitHub Actions. The goal was to ensure that all applications were automatically tested for functionality before each deployment. The tests covered different components, such as the login process, payment workflows, and other core features.
The challenge
The main challenge was to automate reliable testing of existing web applications, eliminating the need for manual verification. This required developing stable test cases and integrating them into an existing CI/CD pipeline.
- Creation of robust end-to-end test cases
- Integration of automated test execution in GitHub Actions
- Reduction of manual QA steps before deployment
Project goals
The goals of the project were:
- Develop and implement E2E tests for multiple web applications
- Integrate the tests into the existing CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions
- Ensure automatic test execution before every deployment
- Improve overall quality and reliability of the web applications
Solution approach
I developed the end-to-end tests using Playwright to realistically simulate user interactions. These tests were then automated through GitHub Actions, allowing every repository change to trigger test execution automatically. In addition, error messages and screenshots were generated in the pipeline to simplify debugging.
The implementation
- Test Development: Created E2E test cases for login, payment, and user interactions
- Automation: Integrated the tests into GitHub Actions with parallel execution
- CI/CD Integration: Configured automatic test runs on every push or pull request
The result
- Fully automated end-to-end testing for all critical web application components
- Significant reduction of manual testing before deployments
- Faster and more reliable feedback loops during development
Insights
I learned how to design, implement, and automate end-to-end tests. Additionally, I deepened my knowledge of GitHub Actions and CI/CD automation.
- Experience building stable E2E testing environments
- Advanced knowledge of GitHub Actions
- Improved understanding of test-driven deployment workflows
