[Task] CPAF - Standard Requirements - Testable - MochaJS

[OpCodeWolf]

Evaluate available test frameworks like MochaJS to implement unit testing of the apps features. Possibly use mocha to drive a desktop testing framework, but which ones? This needs to be investigated.

Investigation Acceptance Criteria

• Do we need to create our own desktop testing framework?

• Do we automate testing across major desktop platforms or keep automated testing on one?

• Do we need to emulate other platforms using a virtual machine?

• Does GitHub/Microsoft provide any free resources for testing?

• Can we utilize Amazon AWS or Azure for testing?

• Review Selenium based automation for Windows 10/11 desktop applications

  • Examples (off the top of my head):
  • Winium (9 year old project, but may still work?)
    • See: https://github.com/2gis/Winium
  • WinAppDriver for Selenium v3
    • See: https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver
  • RobotFramework-Zoomba?
    • See: https://github.com/Accruent/robotframework-zoomba

• Investigate frameworks for testing desktop applications on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu for now. Eventually CentOS? Mint?, RedHat [Is this still a thing?], etc.. )

• Investigate frameworks for testing desktop applications on Mac OSx
