Web App Testing

Discover and test everything. Leave no route untested.


1. Deep Audit Approach

Discovery First

Target How to Find
Routes Scan app/, pages/, router files
API endpoints Grep for HTTP methods
Components Find component directories
Features Read documentation

Systematic Testing

  1. Map - List all routes/APIs
  2. Scan - Verify they respond
  3. Test - Cover critical paths

2. Testing Pyramid for Web

        /\          E2E (Few)
       /  \         Critical user flows
      /----\
     /      \       Integration (Some)
    /--------\      API, data flow
   /          \
  /------------\    Component (Many)
                    Individual UI pieces

3. E2E Test Principles

What to Test

Priority Tests
1 Happy path user flows
2 Authentication flows
3 Critical business actions
4 Error handling

E2E Best Practices

Practice Why
Use data-testid Stable selectors
Wait for elements Avoid flaky tests
Clean state Independent tests
Avoid implementation details Test user behavior

4. Playwright Principles

Core Concepts

Concept Use
Page Object Model Encapsulate page logic
Fixtures Reusable test setup
Assertions Built-in auto-wait
Trace Viewer Debug failures

Configuration

Setting Recommendation
Retries 2 on CI
Trace on-first-retry
Screenshots on-failure
Video retain-on-failure

5. Visual Testing

When to Use

Scenario Value
Design system High
Marketing pages High
Component library Medium
Dynamic content Lower

Strategy

  • Baseline screenshots
  • Compare on changes
  • Review visual diffs
  • Update intentional changes

6. API Testing Principles

Coverage Areas

Area Tests
Status codes 200, 400, 404, 500
Response shape Matches schema
Error messages User-friendly
Edge cases Empty, large, special chars

7. Test Organization

File Structure

tests/
├── e2e/           # Full user flows
├── integration/   # API, data
├── component/     # UI units
└── fixtures/      # Shared data

Naming Convention

Pattern Example
Feature-based login.spec.ts
Descriptive user-can-checkout.spec.ts

8. CI Integration

Pipeline Steps

  1. Install dependencies
  2. Install browsers
  3. Run tests
  4. Upload artifacts (traces, screenshots)

Parallelization

Strategy Use
Per file Playwright default
Sharding Large suites
Workers Multiple browsers

9. Anti-Patterns

❌ Don't ✅ Do
Test implementation Test behavior
Hardcode waits Use auto-wait
Skip cleanup Isolate tests
Ignore flaky tests Fix root cause

Remember: E2E tests are expensive. Use them for critical paths only.
