Writing tests

qavajs test cases are user-friendly and leverage the Gherkin language, providing a variety of predefined steps for performing actions and assertions.

First test

Let's walk through an example to demonstrate how to write a test.

features/wikipedia.feature

Feature: Wikipedia
  
  Scenario: Search in wikipedia
    Given I open '$wikipedia' url
    When I type 'JavaScript' to 'Search Input'
    And I click 'Search Button'
    And I expect text of 'Title' equals 'JavaScript'

In this scenario:

• Search Input, Search Button, and Title are aliases for corresponding page objects.
• $wikipedia is an alias for a constant URL.

Page Objects

Define the page objects in the page_object folder:

page_object/index.ts

import { locator } from '@qavajs/steps-playwright/po';

export class App {
    SearchInput = locator('#searchInput');
    SearchButton = locator('button[type=submit]');
    Title = locator('#firstHeading');
}

Constants

Declare the constant for the Wikipedia URL in the memory folder. memory/index.ts

export class Constant {
    wikipedia = 'https://www.wikipedia.org/';
}

Summary

• The feature file (wikipedia.feature) outlines the test scenario using Gherkin syntax.
• The page objects (index.ts in the page_object folder) define the locators for the elements used in the test.
• The constants (index.ts in the memory folder) store the URLs or other constants used in the tests
