Weather 'application' overview

You are assigned to a team which is developing weather related application's MVP backend. Your task is to create automated tests for the API that the application will use.

The MVP app will use one API, that tells the weather conditions for a fixed city. (Condition, description, temperatures ...etc.).

The API will return the following fields: city, condition, icon, description conditionId tempInFahrenheit and tempInCelsius

Weather backend's acceptance criteria-s

• The city field would give a fixed city name as a string

• The conditionID field gives an ID of the current condition

  ID	Value
  1	clear
  2	windy
  3	mist
  4	drizzle
  5	dust

• The condition field would tell the weather condition as a string based on condition id

  • Can have the following values clear, windy, mist, drizzle and dust

• The icon field gives a png type image (string) that correlates (same as) the current condition

• The weather object contains the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius

  • The tempInFahrenheit field contains the current temperature in Fahrenheits
    • Should have 0 digits
  • The tempInCelsius field contains the current remperature in Celsius
    • Should have 0 digits
    • Calculated from the tempInFahrenheit field
    • Uses normal rounding rules

• The description field returns a description text of the current weather

  • The description is a fixed text with a suffix
  • The description suffix is calculated based on the temperature in celsius
  • Calculation rules:

Rule	Description
celsius <= 0	freezing
celsius < 10	cold
celsius < 20	mild
celsius < 25	warm
celsius >= 25	hot

The API:

The base url of the API is: https://backend-interview-tokio.tools.gcp.viesure.io/
Eg.: GET https://backend-interview-tokio.tools.gcp.viesure.io/weather

GET .../weather

• You can fetch the endpoint through {base_url}/weather with the following data structure:

curl -X 'GET' \
  '{base_url}/weather' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'

{
  "city"        : "Vienna",
  "condition"   : "clear",
  "icon"        : "clear.PNG",
  "conditionId" : 1,
  "description" : "The weather is mild",
  "weather": {
    "tempInFahrenheit" : 60,
    "tempInCelsius"    : 15
  }
}

Helper API-s

You are also provided 2 helper API-s to be able to set the states for the GET weather API

Helper API-s don't need to be tested, they exist so you can set the states of the API under test

PUT .../weather/temp

You can set the Fahrenheit temperature with this API, by sending an Integer

• You can call the endpoint through {base_url}/weather/temp

curl -X 'PUT' \
  '{base_url}/weather/temp' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "tempInFahrenheit": 17
}'

PUT .../weather/condition

You can set the Condition ID with this API, by sending an Integer

• You can call the endpoint through {base_url}/weather/condition

curl -X 'PUT' \
  '{base_url}/weather/condition' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "condition": 1
}'

Your task

You need to create a test automation framework and implement test cases for the weather API (defined above) using Cucumber, testng and Selenium where needed

• Define Cucumber scenarios
  • In designing your cucumber scenarios, keep in mind that it should be understandable for someone without a technical expertise ( Eg.: Business representatives). Design them as you would have to demo it to business stakeholders
• Use the following language, frameworks and technologies within the automation project:
  • Java
  • Selenium
  • Maven and POM
  • BDD and Executed cucumber tests.
  • Add an external reporting framework of your choice. (eg.: Extent, Allure ...etc)
  • You can add any other helper library if you wish
• Create a README file with some informative description of your project
  • Also include the results of the test report of your scenarios (in the readme)
• Open a pull request to this project.

Bonus

To also make use of selenium, test a few fields from https://openweathermap.org/

Task1

Verify the main page's search field contains correct placeholder text

Task2

• Search for Sydney, and select Sydney, AU from the list
• Verify the selected city's title is correct
• Verify that the date shown is correct
• Verify that the time shown is correct

Next Step

Our QA and Development team will review your task carefully and contact you as soon as possible.
