What problem does it solve?

End-to-end tests often become slow, flaky, or hard to maintain, so teams struggle to confidently validate critical user journeys like login, checkout, and payment.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Playwright setup for TypeScript/React: Establishes a consistent playwright.config.ts baseline with sensible retries, traces, screenshots, and multi-browser projects (Chromium/Firefox/WebKit).
• Maintainable Page Object Models (POMs): Separates page locators and user-intent methods from spec logic to reduce selector refactors across the suite.
• CI-ready execution and artifacts: Provides a GitHub Actions workflow that runs E2E tests and uploads failure artifacts for fast debugging.
• Flake prevention and triage: Uses a structured approach to diagnose common causes (assertion timing, network races, shared backend state), emphasizing fixing root causes over “retry-only” work.
• Auth reuse via storageState: Avoids logging in on every test by persisting authenticated sessions for auth-heavy suites.

Quick Start

Set up Playwright E2E by initializing the default project, then create an e2e/ folder with playwright.config.ts, pages/ (POMs), and specs/, and wire the suite into CI so failures upload trace/screenshot/video artifacts.
