EMI --> Order["Place Order"]Implementation Guide
test('Cash on Delivery option is available for Indian pincode', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/checkout');

| Payment Method | India Specific | Mock Required |
|---|---|---|
| COD | Yes | Pincode API |
| EMI | Yes | Bank offer API |
| Wallet | Yes (Paytm) | OAuth flow |
Best Practices
getByRole() and getByLabel() for resilient locators that survive UI changes.await expect(locator).toBeVisible() instead of waitForTimeout()Common Mistakes
| Anti-Pattern | Solution |
| Hardcoded wait times | Use auto-waiting assertions |
| Shared mutable test data | Create unique data per test |
| Testing 3rd party UIs directly | Mock external services |
