2 | 2 |
|
3 | | -## Overview |
4 | | -This automation testing suite designed to perform end-to-end testing for a web application. Built with **Playwright** in **C#** and the **XUnit** testing framework, this project utilizes **Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)** with **Gherkin** syntax through the **SpecFlow** library in **DotNet**. The suite implements the **Page Object Model (POM)** design pattern, ensuring maintainability and scalability of the test codebase. |

|
6 | | -The testing suite validates critical functionalities of a web platform, including: |
7 | | -- **User Login**: Verifying successful authentication with valid credentials. |
8 | | -- **Navigation Bar Validation**: Ensuring correct menu items are displayed for different user roles (Admin, Issuer, Private Investor). |
9 | | -- **Signup Creation**: Testing the creation of user signups for various types. |
