Flaky Test Prevention

Strategies Implemented

1. Explicit Waits: waitForLoadState('networkidle')
2. Element Visibility Checks: Before interaction
3. Retry Logic: Playwright built-in (2 retries in CI)
4. Stable Selectors: Semantic selectors over CSS classes
5. Timeouts: Generous timeouts for slow environments

Known Issues

• None currently identified

Debugging Failed Tests

Screenshot on Failure

Screenshots automatically saved to test-results/ on failure.

Video Recording

# Enable video for all tests
npm run test -- --video=on

Trace Viewer

# Tests run with trace on first retry
# View trace:
npx playwright show-trace test-results/.../trace.zip

Debug Mode

# Run in headed mode with slow-mo
npm run test -- --headed --slow-mo=1000

---

Maintenance

Adding New Tests

1. Identify user journey or feature
2. Choose appropriate suite file
3. Write test following existing patterns
4. Run locally: npm run test path/to/test.spec.ts
5. Update this README with coverage

Updating Selectors

When UI changes:

1. Run tests to identify failures
2. Update selectors in failed tests
3. Prefer semantic selectors (getByRole, getByLabel)
4. Verify across all browsers

Performance Benchmarks

Current baselines:

• Homepage load: < 3s
• Blog listing load: < 3s
• Blog post load: < 3s
• Form submission: < 2s

Update these if intentional changes occur.

---

Best Practices

DO ✅

• Use semantic selectors
• Wait for element visibility
• Test user journeys, not implementation
• Keep tests independent
• Clean up test data
• Use descriptive test names

DON'T ❌

• Use fixed delays (waitForTimeout sparingly)
• Test implementation details
• Make tests depend on each other
• Hardcode credentials
• Ignore flaky tests
