a) Objective: UI + API Automation (Single United Framework) b) Components: WebDriver (UI) + RestAssured (API) + Extent Reports (Reports) + TestNg (Driver) + Cucumber (BDD) + WireMock (Mocking API) c) Maven Project -> Build Tool d) Flavors : Page/Service Design (Selenium + RestAssured Base) + Cucumber (With Pages) + Independent (Rest + Se + Rest/Se) e) Test data from external files -> JSON, Xlsx, (DB)

Library:  Event Listeners + Wrappers + Data + Report 

1) listeners -> Customized Solutions (Selenium, TestNg, ExtentReport)
2) rest -> RestAssured Wrapper with Reporting and Exception Handling + PreAndTest (TestNG Annotations)
3) selenium -> Selenium Wrapper with Reporting and Exception Handling + PreAndPost (TestNG Annotations)
4) utils -> Reading data from excel or json (DataInputProvider) + Reporter (HTMLReporter)

Design: Pages (Selenium) + (Cucumber)  => Runner + Features + Hooks 

1) pages
2) hooks 

Tests: Selenium + REST + Mixed 

1) tests.selenium
2) tests.rest 

Steps to Implement Makaia for your instance

If this is working fine, the next step will be !

a) Change it to your environment using config.properties b) Build another test for Create Change Request ..
