Project Approach
Phase 1: Assessment and Planning
● Conduct a comprehensive audit of the current E2E test coverage.
● Identify untested critical functionalities.
● Define key testing scenarios and user workflows to be covered.
● Establish a roadmap and timeline for test implementation.

Phase 2: Test Development
● Write new E2E test cases focusing on uncovered functionalities.
● Ensure tests cover user authentication, data management, and critical UI interactions.
● Implement best practices to maintain test stability and reliability.

Phase 3: Test Optimization
● Refactor existing test cases to improve efficiency.
● Optimize test execution time to prevent slowdowns in development workflows.
● Ensure tests are resilient against minor UI changes.

Phase 4: Integration into CI/CD
● Configure automated test execution in the CI/CD pipeline.
● Set up reporting mechanisms to track test results and failures
● Implement alerts for failed tests to ensure quick resolution.

Phase 5: Documentation and Knowledge Sharing
● Develop comprehensive documentation on test implementation and maintenance.
● Conduct training sessions for developers and QA engineers.
● Establish guidelines for maintaining high test coverage moving forward.

Expected Outcomes
● Increased E2E test coverage from 30% to at least 99%.
● Reduced risk of undetected critical bugs.
● Faster detection and resolution of issues before deployment.
● Improved confidence in system reliability and stability.
● Sustainable testing strategy integrated into the development lifecycle

● Implement best practices to maintain test stability and reliability.

Particularly: Write new E2E test cases focusing on uncovered functionalities.
PR opened: Dictionary Menu E2E.

Blocker: All tests were initially failing due to importing a wrong file.
Fix: Imported the correct file after a long hustle and bustle.

Flashback: After opening this PR, it led to opening these issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. By @Moses_Mutesasira and I which were worked upon by @Lemeri123 with these PRs 1, 2, 3 which are under review.

Way forward: After reviewing the PRs, and get merged, the user management E2E will be completed and ready for merging.

Vote of thanks to @Gita_cliff , @Moses_Mutesasira and @Lemeri123 for the advice, contribution and guidance.
