Experience

E2E Automation Framework for eCommerce

https://github.com/AhmedHamada93/testcafe-e2e-ecommerce

Built a sample E2E test framework for the eCommerce website using TestCafe. Used Page Object Model (POM) as a design pattern and ECMAScript (ES6) as the main programming language. I covered different project components, such as registration, login, search, cart, and checkout.

API Automation Framework

https://github.com/AhmedHamada93/rest-assured-framework

Wrote a sample API automation framework using REST Assured, TestNG, and Maven for Zippopotam.us APIs. I worked on the APIs for the framework, using Java 11 as the programming language and TestNG as the testing framework.

API Tests for Uebermaps

https://github.com/AhmedHamada93/postman-uebermaps-tests

Sample APIs tests for Uebermaps using Postman. I used Newman as a test runner. Credentials are provided through an ENV file. An HTML report is generated using Newman HTML reporter.

Uebermaps is a powerful tool that enables users to discover and share their favorite spots. They can also create free maps with friends, family, or the world, which is why this tool is ideal for travelers, bloggers, and locals.

TestCafe, AntD, and Utils

https://github.com/AhmedHamada93/antd-testcafe-utils

Worked on a project that was built using the AntD React UI library, so I decided to make TestCafe utils for some common functions used to manipulate user actions on AntD components using TestCafe.
