Flaky Playwright tests in CI are addressed by applying targeted fixes using fixme or skip directives, running repeat executions to identify root causes, and capturing screenshots, traces, and videos as build artifacts for fast debugging.

The best way to structure Playwright E2E test suites is using the Page Object Model (POM) to encapsulate UI interactions in page classes, reducing duplication and making refactors safer when page structure changes.

Configure Playwright for consistent execution by defining retries, workers, reporters, baseURL, and multi-project browser setups in a tuned playwright.config.ts file to ensure consistent coverage across varying environments.

Manage test artifacts in CI/CD by capturing screenshots, traces, videos, and HTML/JUnit/JSON reports during Playwright runs, then uploading them as build artifacts to enable fast debugging of network timing or UI failures.

Yes, Playwright supports browser-based functional testing for critical financial and transaction paths, authentication flows, feature browsing, and API endpoint verification, applying environment-appropriate safeguards to ensure reliability.

Playwright E2E testing becomes hard to maintain when page structure changes, network timing varies, or CI environments behave differently from local runs, requiring structured test organization and robust configuration to resolve.
