Testing Strategy for Motability Vehicle Application Flow

Overview

This repository contains some test scenarios for automating the testing of the Motability Vehicle Application Flow. It focuses on validating the application process, ensuring that eligibility checks are correctly performed, and verifying that API requests and responses are handled as expected.

The primary focus areas are:

1. Form Validation: Ensuring that the form inputs are correctly validated (e.g., data types, field limitations).
2. API Requests: Verifying that the API request is formed correctly and no malformed requests are sent.
3. Eligibility Checks via DVLA API: Ensuring that eligibility checks, including driver endorsements and disqualifications, are correctly handled by the OLA system.

Features

The tests in this repository cover various parts of the Motability application flow:

1. Initial Form Application:

   • Form validation (data types and limitations).
   • Allowing the addition of up to 3 drivers.
   • Vehicle and adaptation selection.
   • DWP consent.
   • Form submission.

2. API Request:

   • Verifying correct POST request formation with properly structured JSON.
   • Handling error states when the API call fails.

3. DVLA API Response & Eligibility Checks:

   • Handling of DVLA API response, including checking eligibility based on the rules for driver endorsements, disqualifications, and full licenses.

Testing Approach

The tests are divided into integration tests and end-to-end tests:

• Integration Tests focus on API request formations, success and response handling.
• End-to-End Tests simulate the full user journey, from form submission to receiving and processing the eligibility check results.

File Structure

The tests are defined using Gherkin syntax to describe the expected behavior of the system.

• Feature Files: Contains the various test cases using the Given-When-Then structure.
  • form-validation.feature: Tests for validating form inputs and submissions.
  • api-request.feature: Tests for verifying the API request and error handling.
  • dvla-response.feature: Tests for validating eligibility checks based on the DVLA API response.

Getting Started

• A test runner like Cucumber (or a compatible Gherkin test runner) should be installed.
