Test automation for the Mentalyc healthcare platform

Implementation process:

The project was carried out in several stages following the Kanban methodology:

Discovery and analysis

• Concept meetingsA series of workshops with the client during which key issues were identified and project goals were defined.
• Internal consultationsThe fireup.pro team conducted a detailed requirements analysis and developed an optimal technological solution tailored to the client’s needs.

Prototyping and validation

• Proof of Concept (POC)A prototype was prepared to confirm the feasibility of automating key processes such as recording and analyzing therapy sessions.
• Presentation and verificationA mini demo was held to present the developed solution to the client. Once approved, the implementation phase began.
• Project kickoffThe official start of the project, including a detailed understanding of the client’s needs and the establishment of priorities.

Fundamentals of testing

• Test base developmentStworzono fundamenty automatyzacji, przepisując istniejące testy za pomocą narzędzia Playwright oraz implementując nowe przypadki testowe
• Documentation and organizationComprehensive test documentation was created, including detailed test scenarios and guidelines for further automation.
• Writing test cases in BDD formatApplication functionalities were described using the Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) format, involving the client in the process of defining test cases.
• Implementation of the cucumber libraryA tool for writing and executing BDD-formatted tests was implemented, enabling better understanding of the tests by the business team.

Automation and CI/CD

• Test containerizationTests were prepared within a Docker environment, allowing them to be executed independently across different configurations.
• CI/CD pipelineThe first CI/CD pipeline was implemented, enabling automated test execution in the testing environment.
• Local environment setupIn collaboration with the DevOps team, a local test execution environment was developed, streamlining the test verification process.
• CI/CD pipeline expansionThere are plans to introduce automated test execution during code deployment, which will further streamline the CI/CD process.

Hand-off and training

• Client team trainingWorkshops were conducted for Mentalyc's developers to familiarize them with best practices for writing and maintaining automated tests.
