🚀 Automating SauceDemo Testing with Cypress, Cucumber & Jenkins

SauceDemo is widely used for automation practice because it mimics real-world e-commerce workflows. The platform includes user authentication, product inventory, and a checkout system, making it ideal for end-to-end testing.

🤖 Automating with Cypress

I chose Cypress for this project because it offers:

🚀 Fast execution – Runs directly in the browser for real-time testing.

🛠️ Easy debugging – Provides clear error messages and snapshots.

💡 Built-in assertions – Simplifies test writing with intuitive commands.

Using Cypress, I tested:

✅ Login Functionality – Valid and invalid login attempts, error messages, and session persistence.

✅ Checkout Process – Adding products to the cart, completing purchases, and verifying order details.

🥒 BDD with Cucumber

To improve test readability, I implemented Cucumber 🥒. Instead of writing test scripts in code-heavy formats, I used a Given-When-Then structure, making test scenarios easier to understand.

🛠️ CI/CD with Jenkins

To streamline test execution, I integrated Jenkins, allowing me to:

✔️ Run tests without opening Cypress manually.

✔️ Select specific features to test (Login, Checkout, etc.).

✔️ Choose between headed or headless mode for execution.

✔️ Execute tests across different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge).

Jenkins helps ensure that tests run consistently, even as new updates are made to the website.

🚀 Summary

By leveraging Cypress for automation, Cucumber for structured test cases, and Jenkins for automated execution, I created a scalable and efficient testing framework for SauceDemo. This setup ensures that critical functionalities like login and checkout work seamlessly, providing a robust and maintainable automation testing process. 🔥
