Ensuring Website Path Navigations with Automated Testing Using Webship-js

Making sure people can easily move around your website is very important. If links don’t work or users get lost, it can be frustrating and lead them to leave.

In this blog, we’ll discuss how to ensure every link leads visitors to the right place, using the International Labour Organization site (https://www.ilo.org) as our example.

We need step definitions to create the scenarios required for testing, such as:

Then I should be

This step is useful for ensuring that the navigation through a website is working correctly and that the user lands on the intended page after performing certain actions or interactions.

Then I should be on (the) homepage

This step definition is used to be sure that the current page is the homepage.

Then (I|we)* should be on( the)* homepage

Define a step to verify that the current page is the homepage. A static sentence has no probabilities.

Then I should be on "specific page"

This step definition is used to be sure that the current page is the specific page.

Then (I|we)* should be on "([^"]*)?"

Example (1):

Then I should be on "/"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example (2):

Then we should be on "/user/login"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example (3):

Then I should be on "http://google.com"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
