API and Unit tests on Observability

Introduction

TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionalities that make it more powerful.

This repository demonstrates a comprehensive test framework for both API and unit testing, developed using TestNG and Java. It supports writing and executing tests for APIs (using the Reqres API) as well as unit tests for individual components. The project is designed with modularity in mind, providing an organized structure for efficient test development and execution.

BrowserStack Test Observability

BrowserStack Test Observability is a tool that provides deep insights into test execution, performance, and debugging to help teams improve test reliability and speed.

Prerequisites

• Create a new BrowserStack account or use an existing one.

• Identify your BrowserStack username and access key from the BrowserStack Automate Dashboard and export them as environment variables using the below commands.

  • For *nix based and Mac machines:

  export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username> &&
  export BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>

  • For Windows:

  set BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username>
  set BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>

  Alternatively, you can also hardcode username and access_key objects in the browserstack.yml file.

Note:

• We have configured a list of test capabilities in the browserstack.yml file. You can certainly update them based on your test requirements.

Running Your Tests

Run only API tests on BrowserStack Test Observability

In this section, we will run only API tests on Browserstack Test Observability. To change test capabilities for this configuration, please refer to the browserstack.yml file.

• How to run the test?

  To run the default API tests on your own machine, use the following command:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P api-test

  To run a specific API test, use the following command with the additional 'test-name' argument:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P api-test -Dtest=GetApi

  where, the argument test or test-name can be any testclass implemented in this repository.

• Output

  This run profile executes API tests on BrowserStack's Test Observability. Please refer to your BrowserStack dashboard for test results.

Run only Unit tests on BrowserStack Test Observability

In this section, we will run only Unit tests on Browserstack Test Observability. To change test capabilities for this configuration, please refer to the browserstack.yml file.

• How to run the test?

  To run the default Unit tests on your own machine, use the following command:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P unit-test

  To run a specific Unit test, use the following command with the additional 'test-name' argument:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P unit-test -Dtest=ShoppingCartTest

  where, the argument test or test-name can be any testclass implemented in this repository.

• Output

  This run profile executes unit tests on BrowserStack's Test Observability. Please refer to your BrowserStack dashboard for test results.

Run the whole suite of tests on BrowserStack Test Observability

In this section, we will run the Enitre test suite on Browserstack Test Observability. To change test capabilities for this configuration, please refer to the browserstack.yml file.

• How to run the test?
