Introduction

Here's the typical testing pyramid - it clearly shows that UI tests will not replace any other tests (manual tests or Acceptance/Integration tests) but will complete our test setup.

UI Tests

We use Selenium for testing our ui. The UITest will be part of magnolia-integration-test/tests and use its test-webapp & test-public-webapp. UITests are only triggered if you specify the corresponding profile (uitest). As specifying a profile no longer invokes the default profile (jetty6-standalone) you have to pass this one as well.

In short, use the following command to locally run the uitests

..../magnolia-integration-tests/tests mvn clean install -P ui-tests,jetty6-standalone

Goals

Have few typical cases automatically covered to prevent regressions there.

1. Basic Content App test (use Contacts App as it's a simple example)
   
   • navigate to Contact App, open a contact in a tab
   • edit (modify), save, close
   • verify tree is updated
     
     
2. Bookmarking (use Contacts App again)
   
   • open new default subapp
   • navigate to opened default sub app
   • open new non-default subapp - verify default subapp is also opened
   • navigate to opened non-default sub app
     
     
3. Activation
   
   • verify basic activation works - no workflow
   • LATER (when workflow is ready): verify activation with workflow
     
     
4. Test Pages App

• • Test basic Page editing

Tracking

Creating those tests is tracked under  Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

Next steps

• integrate with ordinary integration tests to re-use it's setup in pom
• merge to master
• re-activate hudson job
• complete once demo-project can be added to test web apps

Outlook

• Execute tests with with different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Ie, ...) an different OS's (OSX, Unix, Windows, iOs, ...) using hudson slaves
