Manual and automated web application testing and comparison of Cypress and Selenium tools

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se usporedbom ručnog i automatiziranog testiranja, analizom razlika među njima, razloga uporaba i mogućnosti za testiranje na složenoj web aplikaciji. U teorijskom dijelu diplomskog rada objašnjeni su problemi, izazovi i mogućnosti ručnog i automatiziranog testiranja programa. Objašnjeni su alati Cypress i Selenium za automatizirano testiranje, korištene biblioteke i metode kao i njihove mogućnosti prilikom testiranja web aplikacije na klijentskoj i poslužiteljskoj strani. U praktičnom dijelu rada, predloženi su testni plan, scenariji i slučajevi testiranja za provedbu ručnog i automatiziranog testiranja na funkcionalnoj i nefunkcionalnoj razini. Navedeni testni plan sadrži scenarije, vrste, tehnike, strategije i razine testiranja koje se provode tijekom testiranja web aplikacije. Provedena je usporedba brzine izvedbe ručnog i automatiziranog testiranja te automatiziranog testiranja s alatima Cypress i Selenium. Objašnjene su faze testiranja web aplikacije i prikazan proces testiranja unutar tvrtke te preložena unaprjeđenja programskog rješenja. Obavljena je supredna analiza oba tipa i alata testiranja na primjeru izvedbe testiranja tijekom razvoja web aplikacije tvrtke.This thesis deals with the comparison of manual and automated testing, their differences, reasons for use and possibilities for testing a complex web application. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the problems, challenges and possibilities of manual and automated program testing are explained. Cypress and Selenium automated tools, libraries and methods used, as well as their capabilities when testing web applications on the client and server side are explained. In the practical part of the work, a test plan, scenarios and test cases are proposed for the implementation of manual and automated testing at the functional and non-functional level. The specified test plan contains scenarios, types, techniques, strategies and levels of testing that are performed during web application testing. A comparison of the performance speed of manual and automated testing and Cypress and Selenium automated testing was performed. The stages of testing the web application were explained and the testing process within the company was presented, as well as the proposed improvements to the software solution. An analysis was performed between both types and both testing tools on the example of testing performance during the development of the company's web application
