Cypress Sanity and Regression Full Coverage with Deployment Integration for a Huge eCommerce Website
Created and started from scratch the automation project for the checkout part of the system for About You in more than 100 different countries and domains. We have our About You shops in multiple EU and other countries, as well as the SCAYLE project, which is the B2B project of About You in which we implement eCommerce for multiple big companies in the market support all their countries and languages.
My project has to be as dynamic as possible, so it has fixtures loaded from different places, pre-defined commands and helper methods that are frequently used, page object model heavily used for every page in the system, configurations with the URLs and credentials required automatically generated and saved only locally and on Gitlab variables because of the security, JavaScript functions that are automatically generating baskets and going directly to test the checkout part, and a lot of other configs to make it dynamic and integrated with all pipelines.
Reporting depends on the Cypress dashboard built for each different suite of tests, slack notifications for the results, with HTML reports being generated as well.
