Organize and Run Tests

[anon12293060]

Hello,

Whats the best approach on organizing my tests. For instance I have test files : Account-Creation.JS, User-Creation.JS, User-Assertions.Js etc etc etc.

How do I reuse these tests on a different suite. For example ;
Suite 1 : Account-Creation.JS, User-Creation.JS.
Suite 2 : User-Creation.JS, User-Assertion.JS

Right now , I have to do everything manually where I run the fixtures individually and in the order I need to be.

Is there anyway I can write another js file where I can call the different test files and just run that MAIN test file?

What about using a test runner script to launch TestCafe and just list the tests in order:

const createTestCafe = require('testcafe');

let testcafe = null;
let runner = null;

createTestCafe('localhost', 1337, 1338)
    .then(tc => {
        testcafe     = tc;
        runner = testcafe.createRunner();

        return runner
            // list multiple test files
			.src([
                            "Account-Creation.js", 
                            "User-Creation.js" ,
                            "User-Creation.JS", 
                            "User-Assertion.JS
			])
            .browsers(['chrome'])
            .reporter('list')
            .run();
    })
    .then(failedCount => {
        console.log('Tests failed: ' + failedCount);
        testcafe.close();
    })

Hi @Gheeno_San_Pascual_I

The main principle of writing tests is that they should be independent.
However, in your case it's difficult to implement this.

So, you can use one of the following approaches:

• Specify the order of tests as you do this right now.
• Set up your application datastore before running the test.
  For example, you can place test steps into the following sequences:

Suite 1 : Initialization, Account-Creation.JS, User-Creation.JS.
Suite 2 : Initialization, User-Creation.JS, User-Assertion.JS

The Initialization step should fill the datastore with the Account, User and other test entities.

Do I run this like any other testcafe tests?

testcafe chrome testrunner.js

For the testrunner, you use node directly:

> node testrunner.js
