E2E Testing Patterns

Build reliable, fast end-to-end test suites with Playwright and Cypress. Critical user journey coverage, flaky test elimination, and CI/CD integration.

What's Inside

  • Test pyramid guidance (what E2E tests are for vs. not for)
  • Core principles (behavior over implementation, independent tests, deterministic waits, stable selectors)
  • Playwright patterns (config, Page Object Model, fixtures, smart waiting, network mocking)
  • Cypress patterns (custom commands, network intercepts)
  • Selector strategy with priority ranking (roles → labels → data-testid → text)
  • Visual regression testing
  • Accessibility testing with axe-core
  • Debugging failed tests (headed mode, trace viewer, test steps)
  • Flaky test diagnosis checklist
  • CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions

When to Use

  • Implementing E2E test automation for a web application
  • Debugging flaky tests that fail intermittently
  • Setting up CI/CD test pipelines with browser tests
  • Testing critical user workflows (auth, checkout, signup)
  • Choosing what to test with E2E vs unit/integration tests
