# Comprehensive E2E Test Suite — WorkRoot IT Solutions
**QA Automation Engineer Agent** | Created: 2026-03-21

---

## Overview

This document describes the complete E2E test suite for the WorkRoot IT Solutions website. The suite was built on top of the existing 12 test files, adding 4 new test files and a CI/CD pipeline.

---

## Test Architecture

### Page Object Models (New)
Located in `tests/pages/`:
- **`ContactPage.ts`** — Encapsulates all contact form selectors and interactions
- **`NavigationPage.ts`** — Encapsulates header/footer/mobile nav interactions

These POMs reduce selector duplication and make tests more maintainable.

## Key Bugs This Suite Would Catch

| Category | Bug Example |
|----------|-------------|
| **XSS** | Alert fires in name/message field |
| **Form Bypass** | Honeypot filled but email still sent |
| **Race Condition** | Double submit sends duplicate emails |
| **Validation** | Short name (1 char) passes validation |
| **Network** | App crashes on API timeout |
| **Rate Limit** | No 429 after 5 rapid submissions |
| **Newsletter** | Form field doesn't clear after success |
| **Mobile** | Newsletter form clipped off-screen |
| **API** | `/api/contact` returns 500 for SQL chars |
| **Security** | Missing X-Frame-Options header |
| **CORS** | API returns wrong domain in CORS header |

---

## Flakiness Prevention

1. **No fixed delays** — Use `waitForLoadState`, `waitForSelector`, element visibility
2. **Stable selectors** — Prefer `name`, `id`, `data-error`, `aria-label` over CSS classes
3. **Idempotent tests** — Each test resets state (navigate fresh, not session-dependent)
4. **Generous timeouts** — 10s for network ops, 5s for animations
5. **CI retries** — 2 retries configured for flaky infrastructure

---

## Browser Coverage Strategy

| Suite | Browsers |
|-------|----------|
| Smoke | Chromium only (speed) |
| Critical Paths | Chromium + Firefox |
| Forms | Chromium |
| API | Chromium (headless HTTP) |
| Chaos | Chromium |
| Newsletter | Chromium + Mobile Chrome |
| Nightly Regression | All 7 configurations |
