What is Makers BTG Tests?
Makers BTG Tests is a comprehensive test automation framework built specifically for BTG Pactual applications. It combines industry-leading testing tools and patterns to provide a robust, maintainable, and scalable solution for automated testing. The framework leverages the Screenplay pattern to create readable, reusable test code that models how real users interact with your applications. Whether you’re testing web UIs, APIs, or complex business workflows, this framework provides the structure and tools you need.Why Use This Framework?
The Makers BTG Tests framework offers several key advantages:Screenplay Pattern
Write tests from the user’s perspective with clear, maintainable code that focuses on tasks and goals rather than implementation details.
BDD with Cucumber
Define test scenarios in natural language using Gherkin syntax, enabling collaboration between technical and non-technical team members.
Rich Reporting
Get detailed, visual test reports with Serenity BDD that include screenshots, step-by-step execution details, and requirements coverage.
Modern Stack
Built on Java 21 with the latest versions of Serenity BDD, Cucumber, and JUnit 5 for optimal performance and features.
Key Benefits
Maintainability
The Screenplay pattern separates test intentions from implementation, making tests easier to read and maintain. When UI elements change, you only update the implementation in one place.Scalability
The framework’s modular architecture allows you to easily add new test scenarios, actors, and capabilities as your application grows.Collaboration
With Cucumber’s Gherkin syntax, business stakeholders can read and validate test scenarios written in Spanish, ensuring tests align with business requirements.Visibility
Serenity BDD’s living documentation provides instant insight into test coverage, feature status, and requirement fulfillment - all generated automatically from your tests.Technology Stack
