Tell about the structure of autotests in the project, what patterns were used.

The structure of autotests in a project is usually built considering the following aspects:

• Layered approach:

  • Unit tests — verify individual functions and modules.
  • Integration tests — verify interaction between components.
  • E2E tests — simulate user behavior.

• Commonly used patterns:

  • Page Object — for UI tests, to encapsulate interactions with page elements.
  • Data-Driven Testing — running tests with different data sets.
  • Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA) — clear separation of setup, action, and verification.
  • Mocking and Stubbing — for isolating tested components.

• Code organization:

  • Tests are grouped by functional modules.
  • Common utilities and fixtures are used for reuse.

• CI/CD integration:

  • Autotests are run automatically on commits.
  • Reports and error logging for quick analysis.

This approach ensures maintainability, scalability, and reliability of test coverage.
