C2E - Test Scaffolding

c2e is a Mocha/Chai & Cypress.io test scaffolding helper loosely aligned with TOGAF, Agile & other common concepts to produce end-to-end test files mapping organizational (c)apabilties to(2) (e)xpected outcomes / criteria (i.e. expect(A).to.equal(B), cy.get().contains(), etc)

🚨 c2e is currently under 'organic' development, any use or contribution is more than welcome 🙏

Input ~~JSON~~YAML file

C2E currently processes ~~JSON~~YAML files using the following basic structure; See .\examples\example-input.c2e.yaml' for more detail.

|-> Version
|-> Capability
    \-> Storyboard
        |-> Action(s)
        \-> Scene(s)
            |-> Action(s)
            \-> User Story(s)
                |-> Action(s)
                \-> Criteria(s)
                    \-> Expectation(s)

Note: only variables on the 1st line of code under an Action will be hoisted. Note: for object validation using json-schema the schema needs to be added to the ajv object e.g. ajv.addSchema(schema,schemaID). To validate an object in an Expectation call validateObject(object,schemaID).

Usage

From the folder containing *.c2e.~~json~~yaml file(s) run c2e In the current folder C2E will generate folders & files for each Storyboard e.g.".\{Capability}\{Version} {Capability} {Storyboard}.spec.js"

Roadmap

• [x] Define input *.c2e.ymal file structure & output folder(s) / *.spec.js file(s) structure
• [x] Generate Cypress.io ready *.spec.js file(s) with basic test types from *.c2e.json file(s)
• [x] Add support for object validation tests using AJV, json-schema to be loaded from *.json file(s)
• [ ] Add *.c2e.json schema validation & feedback
• [x] ~~Update *.c2e.json file(s) from *.spec.js file(s) structure (i.e. enable 'round trip' generation)~~ Cancelled: Replaced through use of watching *.c2e.yaml files to allow update on change & using Cypress.io file watching mode.
• [ ] Add *.c2e.yaml GUI editor

Change Log

• 0.0.2 Changes to input file format & added functionality;
  • Changed input format from .json to .yaml to make generation of inputs easier for non-technical users, support of multiline editing & use of code highlighting tools (e.g. https://github.com/iuyoy/highlight-string-code)
  • Added support for hoisting variables up one grouping
  • Added support for hoisting imports to start of .spec.js
  • Added support for object validation using AJV
  • Changed to file watching & re-writting of .spec.js files on .c2e.yaml change (...works with Cypress.io in watch mode)
• 0.0.1 Initial release
