Address Management Test Automation Project

What This Project Does

This project automatically tests how customers manage their delivery addresses on an e-commerce website. Instead of manually checking that address forms work correctly, my automated tests verify the complete address lifecycle - from creation to deletion - ensuring customers can reliably manage their shipping information.

Business Impact

• Prevents Failed Deliveries: Catches address form bugs before they cause shipping problems
• Reduces Returns: Ensures accurate address capture prevents packages going to wrong locations
• Improves Customer Trust: Customers can confidently manage their delivery preferences
• Saves Support Time: Fewer calls about "where's my package?" issues

What Gets Tested

The automated tests verify the complete address management experience:

1. Login → Can customers access their account?
2. Navigate to Addresses → Is the address section accessible?
3. Create New Address → Does the address form work properly?
4. Verify Details → Are all address fields saved correctly?
5. Delete Address → Can customers remove old addresses?
6. Confirm Deletion → Is the deletion properly confirmed?

Real Test Example

The tests are written in plain English using Behavior Driven Development (BDD):

Given I'm logged into my account
When I create a new address with "Home", "Avenida Marconi", "Lisbon"
Then all my address details should be saved correctly
And I should be able to delete the address when no longer needed

How It Works

Think of it like a meticulous customer who:

• Signs into their account
• Navigates to address management
• Carefully fills out address forms
• Double-checks every detail is correct
• Tests the delete functionality
• Reports any problems immediately

Results

What We Test	Status	Business Value
Address Form Validation	Working	Prevents shipping errors
Data Persistence	Working	Ensures reliable storage
Address Deletion	Working	Allows account cleanup
Success Messaging	Working	Clear user feedback

Technologies Used

• Selenium WebDriver: Controls the web browser automatically
• Java: Programming language for test logic
• Cucumber BDD: Makes tests readable in plain English
• Page Object Model: Keeps test code organized and maintainable
• JUnit: Executes tests and validates results

Test Architecture

The project follows industry best practices:

Pages/ → Each webpage has its own class
├── AuthenticationPage → Handles login
├── MyAccountPage → Account navigation  
├── AddressesPage → Address list management
└── NewAddressPage → Address form operations

Steps/ → Test scenarios in plain English
Features/ → Business requirements as test cases

My Learnings

Address bugs are expensive: What looks like a simple form actually causes a ton of headaches - wrong addresses mean failed deliveries, angry customers calling support, and packages bouncing back

Learned to test in depth: Instead of just checking if forms submit, I validated the complete data journey - ensuring what customers type matches exactly what gets saved and displayed back
