It seems difficult to imagine a web application that does not use the microfrontend architecture to be able to implement a flexible and functional application. And as in any architectural approach, it is necessary to provide high-quality testing of the developed components in the microfrond.

But where is it worth starting and what awaits everyone who enters the path of automating the microfront, when many are used to testing applications already assembled from pieces?

Hey. My name is Alexander Vorobei, I am a leading specialist in test automation in Tinkoff. In this article I will try to briefly tell you how we started automation of the microfront, what problems we encountered and what results we got.

This article is based on my report from the Heisenbug Conference . It consists of two sections:

1. A story about the subject of testing and the choice of tools.
2. Automation: methods, problems and their solutions.

Those who want to learn about microfrontend testing methods as soon as possible can safely proceed to the “Automating microfrontend testing” section.
