Automating Restaurant Point of Sale With Selenium: A Case Study
summary
Granbury builds an automated CI test stack called Crossfire that turns business workflows into a JSON-based DSL, runs them via Selenium WebDriver + JUnit + Jenkins and a Java Spring app, and verifies both web and hardware flows. Printers are simulated by a graybox REST service that captures raw print jobs and cash-drawer control codes; MSR input is replayed with sendKeys. Two engineers deliver the first version in about a month, it catches many regressions in CI, and it triggers hiring and plans for robot-driven card tests.
