This article outlines the prerequisites for test automation in the context of PriceFx Unity. It covers the basic knowledge required for using PriceFx Unity, as well as the tools needed for test automation, including an IDE tool, Git, Node.js, and a package manager.

PriceFx Unity is a platform that provides pricing management solutions. It is important for test automation because it allows automation of testing processes related to pricing management, which can help ensure the accuracy and efficiency of pricing strategies and calculations.

PriceFx Unity Knowledge

Having a basic understanding of the PriceFx application is beneficial for starting with test automation. Everyone should understand Unity’s common functionality of its shared features or functions available across different parts of the application. Additionally, knowledge of Unity’s application modules (ie. Price Setting, Quoting, etc.) and understanding each of their aspects is important for effectively automating tests related to the PriceFx solution.

  • for starting with the test automation, it would be good to have some basic knowledge of PriceFx application

Application Modules

Tools

You need to have the following tools installed in order to use Cypress:

a) An IDE tool

Link: https://code.visualstudio.com/

  • tool for viewing and updating code of the tests

  • you can use also another editor on environment which allows you to display and edit the project (e.c. IntellIJ Idea)

b) Git

Link: https://git-scm.com/downloads

  • for version control of the code

  • could be used directly in Visual Studio Code, in command line or tool like a Sourcetree

  • git basics for developersGit Basics

  • knowledge needed for test automation:

    • clone, fetch, pull, stage, commit, push

    • create, merge branch

c) Node.js

Link: https://nodejs.org/en/

  • when you download cypress only as a installation file, it will work without node.js, but for clear functionality you need to have node.js installed

  • You can check your actual version of node.js by command “node -v” in the command line

d) Package manager

  • it is for installing and running plugins and dependencies for cypress tests (and cypress as well)

  • on your computer needs to be installed one of the package managers (Npm or Yarn)

  • npm is installed directly with Node.js

  • locally you can choose, but on the server side it is used Yarn

Link: yarn install: https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/

  • install Yarn in your command line: npm install --global yarn
