Best Practices

💡 TIP
Always use getByRole() and getByLabel() for resilient locators that survive UI changes.
  • Mock all external dependencies to ensure test isolation and repeatability
  • Clean up test data in fixture teardown to prevent test pollution
  • Use await expect(locator).toBeVisible() instead of waitForTimeout()
  • Test both happy path and error/edge cases for complete coverage
  • Common Mistakes

    ⚠️ WARNING
    Never depend on test order. Each test must set up its own state independently.
    Anti-PatternSolution
    Hardcoded wait timesUse auto-waiting assertions
    Shared mutable test dataCreate unique data per test
    Testing 3rd party UIs directlyMock external services
