QA Automation Assessment (Cypress)

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• npm 9+

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd awesome-aviation-project

3. Install dependencies (includes Cypress 13.17.0; first run may download the Cypress binary):

   npm install

Run

• Headless (all specs):

  npm test

  or:

  npm run cy:run

• Interactive Cypress runner (for debugging):

  npm run cy:open

• Run a specific spec:

  npx cypress run --spec "cypress/e2e/part1_airportlabs.cy.js"
  npx cypress run --spec "cypress/e2e/part2_shopping.cy.js"

Part 1 targets https://airportlabs.com/; Part 2 targets https://altex.ro.

Cypress Version

• 13.17.0

Project Structure

• cypress/e2e/ - test specs for assessment parts
• cypress/pageObjects/ - page objects and reusable page actions
• cypress/fixtures/ - test data for data-driven scenarios
• cypress/support/ - global support and custom commands
• cypress.config.js - Cypress config
• TEST_DESIGN.md - design decisions and tradeoffs

Implemented Coverage

• Part 1: 5 scenarios on https://airportlabs.com/
  • section title visibility/style checks on desktop + mobile
  • data-driven statistic validation (fixture-based)
  • social links validation (including external domain check custom command)
  • logo dimension checks + negative assertion
  • extra scenario for "Get in Touch" link integrity
• Part 2: https://altex.ro shopping flow
  • Prefiltered TV list (rating >= 3, price ascending, brand Samsung)
  • accessory list filtered to same brand with rating >= 3, choose lowest price
  • add both to cart, verify brand-presence in cart items, and validate total

Notes / Assumptions

• UI selectors on public sites can change; selectors include fallbacks to reduce fragility.
• Part 2 accessory query uses Samsung telecomanda as a practical "same-brand accessory" category.
