Test as a Product - Demo

This is a demo project intended to show how Test as a Product and the Bridge Service can work. In this project we show how testBridge works.

We have the following parts:

• my-blog : A ReactJS project.
• my-blog-backend : A nodeJS-based micro-service.
• e2e-tests/backend-tests : A Java Project dedicated to testing the my-blog-backend apis.
• e2e-tests/frontend-tests/fe-tests-cypress : A cypress project dedicated to testing the front-end.

Deployment Order

There is a rough deployment order to get this project running:

1. Start the Back End
2. Testing the Back End
3. Start the my-blog app
4. Testing the front end

1. Starting the Back-End

To start the backend :

1. Go to the directory my-blog-backend.
2. Install the dependencies npm i
3. Press npm run dev

Now you can test the system by running backend tests.

2. Testing the Back-End

1. go to project e2e-tests/backend-tests/
2. Run tests by entering mvn clean test

3. Starting the Front-End

To start the front-end application:

1. Go to the directory my-blog.
2. Install the dependencies npm i
3. Press npm run start

Now you can test the system by running backend tests. But you can see that it is running with the url http://localhost:3000/.

4. Front-end tests

In order to start the cypress tests:

1. go to project e2e-tests/frontend-tests/fe-tests-cypress
