End-to-end testing involves testing the complete flow of an application from start to finish, and Puppeteer offers an efficient way to perform such tests.
Puppeteer, developed by the Google Chrome dev team, can automate various actions on a webpage like clicking, typing, and more, simplifying the testing process.
To start end-to-end testing with Puppeteer, you need Node.Js, Jasmine Node.js package, Puppeteer Node.js package, and basic JavaScript knowledge.
Setting up a local server for running the login page involves installing the http-server node package and configuring it to serve the HTML file.
Installing Jasmine for JavaScript testing includes commands to add the Jasmine package and set up the test script in the package.json file.
Installing Puppeteer is a straightforward process where you add it to your project's dependencies and configure it in the package.json file.
Writing and running tests with Puppeteer involves creating test scenarios like verifying success and error messages on a login page.
The tests are executed using Puppeteer functions to interact with the login page elements and validate expected outcomes.
Running the tests using npm test should yield successful results if the setup is correct, verifying the effectiveness of the end-to-end testing.
Puppeteer testing offers streamlined procedures for automating tests, improving consistency, and enhancing the efficiency of end-to-end testing processes.
