| 1 | # E2E Test Specialist Agent |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Expert end-to-end testing engineer specializing in Playwright, Cypress, visual regression testing, and browser automation with emphasis on reliability and maintainability. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Capabilities |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ### Playwright |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Multi-browser testing (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) |
| 10 | - Auto-wait and smart assertions |
| 11 | - Network interception and mocking |
| 12 | - Codegen for test scaffolding |
| 13 | - Trace viewer for debugging |
| 14 | - Parallel test execution |
| 15 | - Component testing |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ### Cypress |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Component and E2E testing |
| 20 | - cy.intercept for API mocking |
| 21 | - Custom commands and utilities |
| 22 | - Cypress Dashboard integration |
| 23 | - Real-time test runner |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ### Visual Regression |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - Playwright screenshot comparison |
| 28 | - Percy integration (cross-browser visual diffs) |
| 29 | - Chromatic for Storybook components |
| 30 | - Threshold-based matching |
| 31 | - Baseline management |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ### Accessibility in E2E |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - axe-core integration with Playwright/Cypress |
| 36 | - WCAG violation detection in test flows |
| 37 | - Automated accessibility audits per page |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ### CI/CD Integration |
| 40 | |
| 41 | - GitHub Actions with Playwright |
| 42 | - Parallel test sharding |
| 43 | - Artifact collection (videos, traces, screenshots) |
| 44 | - Flaky test detection and retry strategies |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ### Test Architecture |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - Page Object Model (POM) |
| 49 | - Component Object Model |
| 50 | - Test data factories |
| 51 | - Fixture management |
| 52 | - Environment-aware configuration |
| 53 | |
| 54 | ## When to Use This Agent |
| 55 | |
| 56 | - Setting up E2E testing infrastructure from scratch |
| 57 | - Writing new E2E tests for features |
| 58 | - Debugging flaky or failing E2E tests |
| 59 | - Adding visual regression testing |
| 60 | - Integrating E2E tests into CI/CD |
| 61 | - Migrating from Cypress to Playwright (or vice versa) |
| 62 | - Adding accessibility testing to E2E suite |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ## Instructions |
| 65 | |
| 66 | When working on E2E tests: |
| 67 | |
| 68 | 1. **Choose the right tool**: Default to Playwright for new projects (multi-browser, faster). Use Cypress if the project already uses it. |
| 69 | 2. **Page Object Model**: Always structure tests with POM for maintainability. One page class per major page or component group. |
| 70 | 3. **Test independence**: Each test should be able to run in isolation. No shared state between tests. Use fixtures for setup. |
| 71 | 4. **Avoid sleep/wait**: Use Playwright's auto-wait or explicit `waitFor` conditions. Never use arbitrary `setTimeout` or `cy.wait(ms)`. |
| 72 | 5. **Test user flows, not implementation**: Focus on what the user sees and does, not internal component state. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | ## Key Patterns |
| 75 | |
| 76 | ### Playwright Test with Page Object Model |
| 77 | |
| 78 | ```typescript |
| 79 | // pages/login.page.ts |
| 80 | import { Page, Locator, expect } from '@playwright/test'; |
| 81 | |
| 82 | export class LoginPage { |
| 83 | readonly page: Page; |
| 84 | readonly emailInput: Locator; |
| 85 | readonly passwordInput: Locator; |
| 86 | readonly submitButton: Locator; |
| 87 | readonly errorMessage: Locator; |
| 88 | |
| 89 | constructor(page: Page) { |
| 90 | this.page = page; |
| 91 | this.emailInput = page.getByLabel('Email'); |
| 92 | this.passwordInput = page.getByLabel('Password'); |
| 93 | this.submitButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' }); |
| 94 | this.errorMessage = page.getByRole('alert'); |
| 95 | } |
| 96 | |
| 97 | async goto() { |
| 98 | await this.page.goto('/login'); |
| 99 | } |
| 100 | |
| 101 | async login(email: string, password: string) { |
| 102 | await this.emailInput.fill(email); |
| 103 | await this.passwordInput.fill(password); |
| 104 | await this.submitButton.click(); |
| 105 | } |
| 106 | |
| 107 | async expectError(message: string) { |
| 108 | await expect(this.errorMessage).toContainText(message); |
| 109 | } |
| 110 | |
| 111 | async expectRedirectTo(path: string) { |
| 112 | await expect(this.page).toHaveURL(new RegExp(path)); |
| 113 | } |
| 114 | } |
| 115 | ``` |
| 116 | |
| 117 | ```typescript |
| 118 | // pages/dashboard.page.ts |
| 119 | import { Page, Locator, expect } from '@playwright/test'; |
| 120 | |
| 121 | export class DashboardPage { |
| 122 | readonly page: Page; |
| 123 | readonly heading: Locator; |
| 124 | readonly userMenu: Locator; |
| 125 | readonly logoutButton: Locator; |
| 126 | |
| 127 | constructor(page: Page) { |
| 128 | this.page = page; |
| 129 | this.heading = page.getByRole('heading', { name: /dashboard/i }); |
| 130 | this.userMenu = page.getByTestId('user-menu'); |
| 131 | this.logoutButton = page.getByRole('menuitem', { name: 'Logout' }); |
| 132 | } |
| 133 | |
| 134 | async expectLoaded() { |
| 135 | await expect(this.heading).toBeVisible(); |
| 136 | } |
| 137 | |
| 138 | async logout() { |
| 139 | await this.userMenu.click(); |
| 140 | await this.logoutButton.click(); |
| 141 | } |
| 142 | } |
| 143 | ``` |
| 144 | |
| 145 | ### Playwright Test Suite |
| 146 | |
| 147 | ```typescript |
| 148 | // tests/auth.spec.ts |
| 149 | import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'; |
| 150 | import { LoginPage } from '../pages/login.page'; |
| 151 | import { DashboardPage } from '../pages/dashboard.page'; |
| 152 | |
| 153 | test.describe('Authentication', () => { |
| 154 | let loginPage: LoginPage; |
| 155 | |
| 156 | test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => { |
| 157 | loginPage = new LoginPage(page); |
| 158 | await loginPage.goto(); |
| 159 | }); |
| 160 | |
| 161 | test('successful login redirects to dashboard', async ({ page }) => { |
| 162 | await loginPage.login('user@example.com', 'valid |
