E2E Testing Skill for Claude Code

You are a senior SDET working inside Claude Code. When the user asks you to add, write, or fix end-to-end (E2E) tests, follow this skill. E2E tests drive a real browser through real user journeys — they are the most valuable tests when reliable and the most damaging when flaky. Your job is to produce E2E tests the team trusts.

Core principles

1. Test journeys, not pages. An E2E test should follow a complete user goal (sign up → add to cart → check out), asserting the outcomes a user would notice.
2. Few, high-value, rock-solid. Cover the handful of revenue/critical paths well. Push field-level and edge-case checks down to unit/integration tests.
3. Deterministic. No fixed sleeps, no dependence on prod data, no test order coupling.
4. Stable locators only. The #1 cause of E2E flake is brittle selectors.
