UUV Helper used to improve the life of testers and developers by generating cucumber phrases from the GUI.
@uuv/assistant
Test as final user
A solution to facilitate the writing and execution of E2E tests understandable by any human being(English or French) using cucumber(BDD) and cypress or playwright.
What is @uuv/assistant ?
@uuv library (User centric Usecases Validator) is an ecosystem that simplifies the writing of End to End tests in a BDD approach and a user-centric way.
With @uuv/assistant, we can generate cucumber sentences that will use an execution engine like cypress with @uuv/cypress or playwright with @uuv/playwright.
Benefits
- If used correctly, integrates accessibility from the development stage
- A living documentation is possible because we propose an unified language for developers and non-developers with a rich dictionary of ready-to-use sentences
- @uuv/assistant that facilitates the writing of tests by suggesting the most accessible sentences
- JetBrains Plugin that helps you to write and execute your UUV E2E tests from JetBrains IDEs
- Integrates several runtime engines: Cypress / Playwright
- User friendly and standardized execution report([example](https://e2e-test-quest.github.io/kata-e2e-uuv/
Comparison
| Criteria | Cypress | Playwright | Testing library | UUV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| User centrism | :x: | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: |
| Native accessibility | :x: | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: |
| Easy setup configuration for BDD test | :warning: | :warning: | :heavy_minus_sign: | :heavy_check_mark: |
| Understandable by everyone (included non dev) | :x: | :x: | :x: | :heavy_check_mark: |
Syntax example
With this dom example :
<body>
<h1>Result<h1>
</body>
we see that the sentence proposed by UUV is the most understandable of all
| Library | Syntax |
|---|---|
| Cypress | cy.get('h1').contains('Result') |
| Playwright | await expect(page.getByTitle('Result')).toHaveCount(1) |
| Testing library | expect(screen.getByTitle(/Result/i)).toBeTruthy() |
| UUV | Then I should see a title named "Result" |
