To improve the quality of the application more beside the testing in the separate repositories we also created some integration tests to test all components together. The integration tests are executed against the Docker Compose version in this project.
We are using the Robot Framework to execute the integration tests. For the Robot Framework we are using the Browser Library to do the Web testing. this Library is based on Playwright. All Integration Tests and data can be found in the directory 'integration-testing'. Output can be found in the directory 'target' is below commands and Github Actions are used.
