This repo contains the results of the technical task. The automated tests (both the frontend and backend) are added to the folder called automated tests. And the manual tests plus the bugs are added to the markdown file called test_cases.md

Both of the automated tasks the frontend and backend are being automated in the same project using the same automation framework which is Cypress. I could automate them separately, but I just put them in the same project to make it easier for the reviewer to set up and run. Just set it up once and you will be able to run both. In the automated tests directory, here is the file structure:

• Cypress folder which contains the test specs. Two test specs are inside the e2e folder.
• Two configuration files; one for the API tests best_buy.config.js and another for the UI ones facebook.config.js
• package.json file which contains all the global configurations and dependencies needed.

To install the project, all you need is to just open a terminal, navigate to the root of the project, and type npm install. This will install the test framework Cypress for you. And I kept the installation minimal to cut it short for you. No linting, no more add-ons to make it straightforward.

Once the dependencies are set up (you have the node_module directory generated) you need to choose which spec file you want to run:

• If you want to run the facebook.cy.js spec, you just run its script by typing npm run facebook-test. This will open the Cypress runner for you. Click on E2E Testing box and it will load all the available specs. Just click on the facebook.cy.js spec and it will run interactively.
• If you want to run the best_buy.cy.js spec, just run the script by typing npm run best-buy-test. NOTE: Make sure that the api-playground project is running on the localhost to make sure that the tests are passing.
