Automated Synthetic Monitoring Server

API Testing and Browser Testing automatically, using Cypress, ExpressJS and Mongoose

ⓘ About

This app creates an ExpressJS server, which runs a cronjob that executes all Cypress tests at set intervals (default is every minute).

At the end of the testing process, a report will be generated and saved into a MongoDB database. Result of the latest report will be returned using a REST API.

The server also support generating tests via POST requests as well.

2. Run npm install to install dependencies

CRON_SCHEDULE=*/1 * * * *
MONGO_URI=mongodb://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>

4. Add your test cases to cypress/e2e/. Guide on how to write these tests can be found here.
5. Run the app with npm start

👉 Usage

1. To get result on the latest test, make a GET request to the root route (e.g. http://localhost:8080)
2. To create a test, make a POST request to the /create route (e.g. http://localhost:8080/create). The body of the request should include the raw JS script for a test. Example body here.
