Jump-start your End-to-end Testing with the WooCommerce E2E Boilerplate

End-to-end tests are a powerful way to help you ship your WooCommerce Extension free of defects, but they’re hard to set up initially. As a result, many extension developers never experience the benefits of end-to-end testing and spend more time on bugs they shipped to production.

Today, we’re shipping an End-to-End Testing Boilerplate to help you get started with end-to-end testing for your extension(s). We hope that this will make it much easier for you to add end-to-end tests to your projects, and in turn reduce the headaches experienced from bugs in shipped releases.

The prerequisite software for E2E testing is

• Node.js
• NVM
• Docker Desktop
  • Mac
  • Windows

Required packages

• WooCommerce E2E Environment – This package consists of a basic Docker container and scripts for running tests.
• WooCommerce E2E Utils – This package includes a variety of functions to simplify writing tests.
• Jest – A npm package for running tests.

Optional Packages

• WooCommerce Core E2E Tests – This package contains the tests that run against changes to WooCommerce core.
• WooCommerce API – This is a utility package for accessing the WooCommerce REST API.

We want the E2E packages to be a valuable resource to the developer community and would love to have feedback from folks who implement end-to-end testing.
