Test Automation Strategy

<default_to_action> When designing or improving test automation:

  1. DETECT anti-patterns: Ice cream cone? Slow suite? Flaky tests?
  2. USE patterns: Page Object Model, Builder pattern, Factory pattern
  3. INTEGRATE in CI/CD: Every commit runs tests, fail fast
  4. MANAGE flaky tests: Quarantine, fix, or delete - never ignore

Quick Anti-Pattern Detection:

  • Ice cream cone (many E2E, few unit) → Invert to pyramid
  • Slow tests (> 10 min suite) → Parallelize, mock external deps
  • Flaky tests → Fix timing, isolate data, or quarantine
  • Brittle selectors → Use data-testid, semantic locators </default_to_action>
