🚀 LinkUp Testing Repository

Welcome to the Testing repository for LinkUp! This repository contains all automated test cases, including E2E testing (Playwright), Performance testing (JMeter), and Cross-platform testing.

🔄 Branching Strategy

We follow a structured Git branching workflow to ensure a smooth development and testing process:

Main Branches

• main → Stable branch, updated only after tests pass.
• testing → Integration branch, where all test cases are merged before reaching main.

Feature Branches

For each new test case, create a separate branch:

• e2e-login-tests → End-to-end tests for login.
• e2e-profile-management-tests → Tests for profile management.
• perf-stress-tests → Performance & stress testing.

Workflow for Adding New Tests

1. Create a new feature branch from testing:

   git checkout testing
   git pull origin testing
   git checkout -b e2e-new-feature-tests
   git push origin e2e-new-feature-tests

2. Develop & commit your test cases:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Added new feature test cases"
   git push origin e2e-new-feature-tests

3. Create a Pull Request (PR) to testing and request review.
4. Merge into testing after approval.

   git checkout testing  
   git pull origin testing  
   git merge e2e-login-tests  
   git push origin testing  

5. Merge testing into main when all tests pass.

   git checkout main  
   git pull origin main  
   git merge testing  
   git push origin main 

🎯 Testing Frameworks & Tools

• Playwright → For E2E web testing.
• JMeter → For performance & stress testing.
• GitHub Actions → CI/CD for automated test execution.

🤝 Contributing Guidelines

• Follow the branching workflow outlined above.
• Ensure tests are well-documented and reusable.
• Run tests locally before creating a PR.
