An introduction to end-to-end test
End-to-end testing is the testing of our application from start to finish. Where as unit testing tests whether the functionalities of your application work independently or not—end-to-end testing checks whether the flow of the application is performing as expected or not. Usually, the end-to-end testing makes sure that all the user interactions are carried out the way as expected. End-to-end testing ensures that the flow of the application is working as expected.
Convention for writing end-to-end tests
There are certain guidelines to be followed when writing the end-to-end tests:
- Test cases should be written considering the end users and considering the real scenario
- Multiple test cases should be created for different scenarios
- The requirements should be gathered for all the software or applications that are involved
- For each requirement, gather as many conditions or scenarios as possible
- Write separate test cases for each scenario
