Test Automation Framework

This is a TypeScript-based test automation framework designed to facilitate BDD-style testing using Cucumber. The framework supports loading test data and configuration from external JSON files, allowing for flexible parallel test execution.

Features

• Observer Pattern: Utilize the Observer Pattern to manage the status of test data and configurations.
• Shared & Exclusive Access: Handle both shared and exclusive access to test data and configuration settings.
• Dynamic Data Loading: Load test data and configurations from external JSON files.
• Easy Integration: User-friendly command-line interface for creating new projects and initializing test setups.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or later)
• NPM (Node Package Manager)

Installation

To set up and use this framework, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
   cd your-repo-name

2. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

3. Build the Project:

   npm run build

Usage

Create Framework Command

You can create a new project directory and initialize the framework structure using the following command:

npx create-framework init <project-name>

This command creates a new directory called with all necessary folders and essential files for the test automation setup. To initialize the framework in the current directory, simply use:

npx create-framework init

Running the Tests

Once you've set up your project and populated the test data and configuration files, you can run your tests using Node.js:

node dist/index.js

Data Management

Test data and configuration data can be managed programmatically or by loading from JSON files located in the src/data/ directory. The framework is designed to read from these files and manage data in memory.
