description At the Badische Landesbibliothek Karlsruhe (BLB) we offer a variety of e-resources with different access requirements. On the one hand, there is free access to open access material, no matter where you are. On the other hand, there are e-resources that you can only access when you are in the rooms of the BLB. We also offer e-resources that you can access from anywhere, but you must have a library account for authentication to gain access. To test the functionality of these access methods, we have created a project to automatically test the entire process from searching our catalogue, selecting a hit, logging in to the provider's site and checking the results. For this we use the End 2 End Testing Framework CodeceptJS.
