Java Automation Project

This repository contains a Java automation project with a modular architecture, designed for both API and UI testing. The project uses JUnit 5 for test execution, AssertJ for fluent assertions, and Java Playwright for UI automation.

Project Structure

The project consists of three modules:

1. common

• Core utilities and shared components for all modules.
• Implements a REST client and API endpoints for interacting with Products.
• Provides configuration, base classes, and reusable utilities.
• Used by both tests-api and tests-ui for API interactions and shared logic.

2. tests-ui

• UI automation framework based on Java Playwright.
• Thread-safe static approach (similar to Selenide) for browser management.
• Implements Page Object Model (POM) for pages and UI components.
• Provides reusable fixtures and test setup utilities.
• Functional tests leverage API authorization and inject tokens into Playwright for faster execution.
• UI assertions use Playwright assertions and AssertJ.
• Optimized for performance by combining UI interactions with API checks.

3. tests-api

• API tests using the shared REST client from common.
• Validates API endpoints, request/response structures, and business logic.
• Can be executed independently from UI tests.

Technologies and Libraries

• Java 17+
• JUnit 5
• AssertJ
• Java Playwright
• OkHttp3
• Jackson for JSON serialization/deserialization

Key Features

• Modular architecture for separation of concerns.
• Reusable REST client and API abstractions in common.
• Thread-safe UI automation leveraging Playwright.
• Combined API + UI testing approach:
  • API calls for authentication and token injection.
  • API assertions for faster and more reliable tests.
• Page Object Model (POM) for maintainable UI tests.
• Fluent, expressive assertions using AssertJ and Playwright.

How to Run Tests

UI Tests

1. Configure environment (base URL, credentials) in common.
2. Run tests using Gradle:

./gradlew :tests-ui:test
