test: add smoke testing automation for telecom and ithelpdesk usecases

[Harsh-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request refactors and enhances the end-to-end test codebase, focusing on simplifying test logic, improving maintainability, and introducing new utilities for chat interaction and validation. The changes include significant cleanup of legacy code, improved response validation, and better test data management.

Test Data Management Improvements:

• Added support for loading separate prompt files for different domains (Telecom and IT Helpdesk), with backward compatibility for existing tests. (config/constants.py)

Refactoring and Simplification:

• Removed excessive logging, comments, and legacy code from BasePage and HomePage, streamlining methods for clarity and maintainability. (base/base.py, pages/HomePage.py) [1] [2]
• Simplified the API response validation in BasePage by removing unnecessary logging and error handling, focusing on status code assertion. (base/base.py)

Enhanced Chat Interaction Utilities:

• Added new utility methods to HomePage for common chat actions: validate_chat_response, delete_first_chat_thread, edit_chat_title, and create_new_chat, making test scripts more expressive and reusable. (pages/HomePage.py)
• Improved response validation to check for fallback/error messages and chart presence, using assertions and soft checks for robust test outcomes. (pages/HomePage.py)

Test Selector and Wait Logic Updates:

• Updated locators and wait logic for chat actions, including more reliable detection of UI elements and improved handling of asynchronous UI updates. (pages/HomePage.py) [1] [2]

General Code Quality:

• Standardized imports and removed unused imports across test modules. (base/base.py, pages/HomePage.py, config/constants.py) [1] [2] [3]

These changes collectively improve the reliability, readability, and extensibility of the test suite, making it easier to add new tests and maintain existing ones.
