| 31 | - Authentication flows |
| 32 | - Multi-step forms |
| 33 | - Shopping cart/checkout |
| 34 | - File uploads |
| 35 | - Drag and drop |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ## IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ### Phase 1: Test Planning (5 minutes) |
| 40 | 1. Identify user workflows from requirements |
| 41 | 2. Map critical paths (happy path + errors) |
| 42 | 3. Define test data requirements |
| 43 | 4. Plan page objects/selectors |
| 44 | |
| 45 | ### Phase 2: Test Implementation (30-60 minutes) |
| 46 | **Playwright Example**: |
| 47 | ```typescript |
| 48 | // tests/auth.spec.ts |
| 49 | import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test' |
| 50 | |
| 51 | test.describe('Authentication', () => { |
| 52 | test('user can sign up with valid email', async ({ page }) => { |
| 53 | await page.goto('/signup') |
| 54 | |
| 55 | await page.fill('[name="email"]', 'test@example.com') |
| 56 | await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'SecureP@ss123') |
| 57 | await page.click('button[type="submit"]') |
| 58 | |
| 59 | await expect(page).toHaveURL('/dashboard') |
| 60 | await expect(page.locator('.welcome')).toContainText('Welcome') |
| 61 | }) |
| 62 | |
| 63 | test('shows error for invalid email', async ({ page }) => { |
| 64 | await page.goto('/signup') |
| 65 | |
| 66 | await page.fill('[name="email"]', 'invalid-email') |
| 67 | await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'SecureP@ss123') |
| 68 | await page.click('button[type="submit"]') |
| 69 | |
| 70 | await expect(page.locator('.error')).toContainText('Invalid email') |
| 71 | }) |
| 72 | }) |
| 73 | ``` |
| 74 | |
| 75 | ### Phase 3: Page Objects (for complex workflows) |
| 76 | ```typescript |
| 77 | // page-objects/LoginPage.ts |
| 78 | export class LoginPage { |
| 79 | constructor(private page: Page) {} |
| 80 | |
| 81 | async navigate() { |
| 82 | await this.page.goto('/login') |
| 83 | } |
| 84 | |
| 85 | async login(email: string, password: string) { |
| 86 | await this.page.fill('[name="email"]', email) |
| 87 | await this.page.fill('[name="password"]', password) |
| 88 | await this.page.click('button[type="submit"]') |
| 89 | } |
| 90 | |
| 91 | async expectLoginSuccess() { |
| 92 | await expect(this.page).toHaveURL('/dashboard') |
| 93 | } |
| 94 | } |
| 95 | ``` |
| 96 | |
| 97 | ### Phase 4: Verification (10 minutes) |
| 98 | 1. Run tests locally |
| 99 | 2. Verify tests pass on all browsers |
| 100 | 3. Check for flaky tests |
| 101 | 4. Validate test execution time |
| 102 | |
| 103 | ## ANTI-PATTERNS TO AVOID |
| 104 | - ❌ Using hard waits (`page.waitForTimeout(5000)`) |
| 105 | ✅ Use smart waits (`page.waitForSelector`, `expect().toBeVisible()`) |
| 106 | |
| 107 | - ❌ Fragile selectors (`#button-123`) |
| 108 | ✅ Stable selectors (`[data-testid="submit-button"]`) |
| 109 | |
| 110 | - ❌ Testing implementation details |
| 111 | ✅ Test user-visible behavior |
| 112 | |

| 121 | - **Coverage**: Critical user journeys |
| 122 | - **Execution Time**: ~2 minutes |
| 123 | |
| 124 | ## Test Files |
| 125 | - `tests/auth.spec.ts` (5 tests) |
| 126 | - `tests/checkout.spec.ts` (7 tests) |

| 128 | |
| 129 | ## Running Tests |
| 130 | \```bash |
| 131 | # All tests |
| 132 | npx playwright test |
| 133 | |
| 134 | # Specific test |
| 135 | npx playwright test auth |
| 136 | |
| 137 | # UI mode (debug) |
| 138 | npx playwright test --ui |
| 139 | \``` |
| 140 | |
| 141 | ## Next Steps |
| 142 | 1. Add visual regression tests |
| 143 | 2. Set up CI/CD integration |
| 144 | 3. Add mobile viewport tests |
| 145 | 4. Implement test retry strategies |
