Enterprise E2E Automation Framework
A unified testing ecosystem designed to handle multiple applications across varying tech stacks, replacing fragmented testing approaches with a cohesive, scalable solution.
The Challenge
The organization faced a critical challenge: multiple applications built with different technology stacks (React, Angular, Vue) had no unified testing approach. Each team maintained their own testing solutions, leading to inconsistent quality gates, duplicated efforts, and a 3-week regression cycle that was blocking rapid delivery.
- •5+ different testing frameworks across teams with no standardization
- •Manual testing creating 2-3 week bottlenecks before releases
- •No consistent test coverage metrics - ranging from 20% to 70% across products
- •CI/CD pipelines running tests sequentially, taking 4+ hours per build
- •Zero visibility into cross-application integration issues until production
The Solution
- Architected a modular framework with TypeScript + Playwright as the core, supporting multiple test runners
- Implemented parallel test execution across Docker containers with AWS Lambda orchestration
- Created shared component library reducing test creation time by 40%
- Built custom reporting dashboard aggregating results across all applications
- Established test data management layer with automatic cleanup and isolation
The framework was designed with a plugin architecture allowing teams to gradually migrate while maintaining their existing tests. We implemented a 'strangler fig' pattern, wrapping legacy tests with the new framework interfaces, enabling incremental adoption without disrupting ongoing development.
Parallel Test Orchestration
// Parallel test distribution across containers
import { TestOrchestrator, ShardConfig } from '@framework/core';
const orchestrator = new TestOrchestrator({
maxParallel: 10,
shardStrategy: 'round-robin',
retryFailedTests: true,
maxRetries: 2,
});
// Distribute tests across AWS Lambda functions
await orchestrator.execute({
specs: await glob('**/*.spec.ts'),
environment: process.env.CI_ENVIRONMENT,
reporters: ['html', 'junit', 'slack'],
onComplete: async (results) => {
await publishToGrafana(results);
await notifyTeams(results.summary);
}
});Key Results
