Dots Cypress Automation – Connecting and Visualizing Results Data in Real Time
Organizations have multiple data sets that are often stored in various places and different formats. Dots, an open-source web application, helps connect these data sets and enables organizations to prepare and clean the data for results reporting. Connecting to streaming data sources like mobile data collection tools, Dots can keep in sync with your latest data and apply any data cleaning steps you've defined. This data can be published in interactive maps, dashboards, or exported to an external business intelligence tool for further analysis and visualization.
I automated test cases using the Cypress.io tool for this web application. The test cases were set up to run in a CI pipeline and the test runs are recorded on the Cypress dashboard.
