[ShantKhatri]

Name: C4GT DMP 2024 issue About: This issue focuses on developing / building scripts for automating the test flows to ease the process of testing. Labels: C4GT Community, DMP 2024, build scripts Mentor: @infa-rvarahag

Description

MentorED Portal is Open source web application available on cross browsers which helps in enhancing the learn capability for mentees through mentors. Additionally, there are roles that can be enabled to user accounts who can moderate the sessions between mentors & mentees. More details

To automate Sanity test case suite which cover the major % flows to ensure P1 flows work seamlessly. To automate all generic sets of test cases across the Native App for higher test coverage (Ex - Sunbird)

Goal

• [x] Generic Framework development
