🧪 QA Automation Portfolio: Cypress, Selenium & Artillery

This repository contains real-world QA automation examples for my portfolio site qa.ypodonin.space, including:

• ✅ Cypress (UI automation with JavaScript)
• ✅ Selenium (UI automation with Python)
• ✅ Artillery (Performance/load testing)

These projects demonstrate my growing skills in test automation and modern QA practices.

🧪 Cypress UI Automation

Automated tests for qa.ypodonin.space built with Cypress, Mocha, and Chai.

✅ Highlights

• Tests actual live portfolio flows
• Includes assertions for UI elements, routing, and content
• Generates visual HTML test reports (Mochawesome)
• Includes POM-based test suite for scalable structure

🔄 Test Approaches

• basic/comprehensive-portfolio-tests.cy.js: simple functional tests
• pom/pom-comprehensive-tests.cy.js: page-object model implementation

🔧 Useful Commands

npm run test           # Headless test run
npm run test:open      # Open Cypress GUI
npm run test:report    # Merge reports and generate HTML report

---

🐍 Selenium UI Test (Python)

Basic Selenium test for opening and validating qa.ypodonin.space using Python:

• File: selenium-learning/basic_test_portfolio.py
• Virtual environment: selenium-learning/venv/

To run:

source venv/bin/activate  # or your OS equivalent
python basic_test_portfolio.py

🚀 Artillery Performance Testing (Training Example)

This folder includes a training-oriented performance test configuration written in Artillery. It’s designed for educational purposes and simulates load/stress/spike tests on a sample API target (http://httpbin.org/).

• Config file: artillery-learning/test.yml
• Status: Training/test template (not used for production yet)
• Covers:
  • Load testing
  • Optional stress, spike, and scalability test templates
  • Response time thresholds and success conditions
• Includes conditional checks for:
  • max response time
  • failure rate
  • request throughput

🚧 You can adapt this template to real APIs by replacing the target value and adding custom flows.

To run:

cd artillery-learning
npm install
npx artillery run test.yml
