Infosys Springboard's inaugural internship batch was challenged to create a platform that could:
- ✅ Unify fragmented automation efforts across API and UI suites
- 📊 Offer management-level visibility with dashboards that highlight reliability, trendline regressions, and execution SLAs
- 🚀 Scale with enterprise constraints, including nightly schedules, multi-project ownership, and rigorous access control
The result is a modular framework that turns JSON definitions into executable suites, streams results to analytics, and closes the loop with notifications and exports.
| 🔧 Module | ✨ Highlights | 💎 Value Delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Test Authoring | JSON-based DSL, bulk import, version snapshots | Rapid test onboarding without IDE dependency |
| Execution Engine | Parallel runners, Selenium WebDriver integration, API clients | Reduced runtime and consistent environment setup |
| Scheduler | Cron-like planner, manual triggers, run history | Predictable daily/weekly/monthly cadences |
| Reporting & Analytics | Trend charts, failure clustering, export to CSV/PDF | Insightful retrospectives for QA and leadership |
| Notifications | Brevo email integration, custom webhooks | Immediate stakeholder updates on regressions |
| Asset Management | ImageKit-backed screenshot storage, local fallback | Rich evidence for debugging UI failures |
- Regression Planning: Upload suites → configure cadence → receive deep-dive analytics each morning
- Release Readiness: Execute gating suite on demand → instantly export annotated report for sign-off
- Incident Triage: Use dashboard filters → inspect failure artifacts → re-run impacted suites directly from UI

- Security: Spring Security-driven authentication, encrypted secrets for third-party APIs
- Scalability: Quartz job store, asynchronous execution pools, Docker packaging for containerized deployments
- Extensibility: Modular service abstractions allow plugging in new notification channels or storage providers
📌 UI Design Cues: Inspired by enterprise observability dashboards—high-contrast dark mode, strong typographic hierarchy, and call-to-action emphasis for quick navigation between operations, analytics, and scheduling.
- ☕ JDK 23+
- 📦 Maven 3.9+
- 🗄️ MySQL 8.x or compatible service
- 🐳 Optional: Docker (for container build)
# 1. Copy configuration template
cp src/main/resources/application.properties.example src/main/resources/application.properties
# 2. Configure your environment
# Edit application.properties with database credentials, Brevo keys, and ImageKit configuration
# 3. Run the application
mvn spring-boot:runVisit http://localhost:8080 and bootstrap your account. A starter project with sample suites is provisioned automatically.
If Chrome/Chromium introduces a DevTools mismatch, align Selenium's DevTools artifact:
mvn -Dselenium.devtools.artifact=selenium-devtools-v140 spring-boot:runReplace selenium-devtools-v140 with the artifact that matches your browser build.

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t automation-platform .
# Run the container
docker run -p 8080:8080 automation-platformmvn -B testUnit tests currently cover the reporting and export services. Expanding coverage to the scheduling engine and notification adapters is planned.
- 🔐 OAuth2 SSO for enterprise rollout
- 📊 Advanced analytics (flaky test detection, failure clustering)
- 🔗 Jira/ServiceNow connectors for automated defect logging
- ✅ Early alignment on data contracts simplified UI/Backend collaboration
- ⚡ Scheduled load tests were key to sizing thread pools and database connections
