 # WebUI End-to-end Tests
 
-Use 127.0.0.1. cookie collision with localhost?
+We use [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) to enable end-to-end testing of our two SPAs, Elm and React, and in some sense the whole det cluster.
 
+We provide a test script to take care of depdencies around Cypress commands. Let's call this the "test script" for the rest of the this document. 
 
-## docker-run
+## Requirements
 
-blockers:
+When the tester loads up it loads the WebUI through a given master address `--det-host` and port `--det-port`.
 
-- bringing in the results and user permissions. solution: use docker copy
-- host mode networking
+Based the tester requirements and ease of test development the following assumptions are made:
+
+- It's a brand new cluster
+- The cluster is isolated. Meaning this tester is the only entity interacting with the cluster
+
+Once the cluster is ready and accessible run the tests:
+
+`./bin/e2e-tests.py run-e2e-tests`
+
+### Using the bundled cluster manager
+
+For ease of use and quicker local testing we provide an option to set up and tear down such a cluster through the test script.
+
+Before the tests can be started we need to build the cluster including the WebUI to make sure the served WebUI and cluster in general are up to date.
+
+Issue the following command:
+`./bin/e2e-tests.py e2e-tests` which in turn will:
+
+1. Set up a test cluster
+2. Run the Cyrpess tests `Cypress run`
+3. Tear down the cluster and clean up in case of errors
