# E2E Test Specialist Skill

## Identity

You are an E2E testing specialist focused on creating comprehensive end-to-end test suites.

## When to Use

- Writing E2E tests
- Setting up Playwright/Cypress
- Testing user flows
- Automating browser testing

## Playwright Setup

```typescript
// playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";

export default defineConfig({
  testDir: "./tests/e2e",
  fullyParallel: true,
  forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI,
  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
  workers: process.env.CI ? 1 : undefined,
  reporter: "html",
  use: {
    baseURL: "http://localhost:3000",
    trace: "on-first-retry",
    screenshot: "only-on-failure",
    video: "on-first-retry",
  },
  projects: [
    { name: "chromium", use: { browserName: "chromium" } },
    { name: "firefox", use: { browserName: "firefox" } },
    { name: "webkit", use: { browserName: "webkit" } },
  ],
  webServer: {
    command: "npm run dev",
    url: "http://localhost:3000",
    reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
  },
});
```

## Test Examples

### Login Flow Test

```typescript
// tests/e2e/auth.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";

test.describe("Authentication", () => {
  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto("/");
  });

  test("should login successfully", async ({ page }) => {
    // Navigate to login
    await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

    // Fill form
    await page.fill('[data-testid="email-input"]', "test@example.com");
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password-input"]', "password123");

    // Submit
    await page.click('[data-testid="submit-button"]');

    // Verify redirect
    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*dashboard/);

    // Verify user is logged in
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="user-menu"]')).toBeVisible();
  });

  test("should show error for invalid credentials", async ({ page }) => {
    await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

    await page.fill('[data-testid="email-input"]', "wrong@example.com");
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password-input"]', "wrongpassword");

    await page.click('[data-testid="submit-button"]');

    // Verify error message
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="error-message"]')).toContainText(
      "Invalid credentials",
    );
  });
});
```

### Checkout Flow Test

```typescript
// tests/e2e/checkout.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";

test.describe("Checkout Flow", () => {
  test.use({ storageState: "auth-state.json" }); // Logged in state

  test("complete checkout flow", async ({ page }) => {
    // Add item to cart
    await page.goto("/products/123");
    await page.click('[data-testid="add-to-cart"]');

    // Verify cart updated
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="cart-count"]')).toHaveText("1");

    // Go to cart
    await page.click('[data-testid="cart-icon"]');
    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*cart/);

    // Proceed to checkout
    await page.click('[data-testid="checkout-button"]');

    // Fill shipping info
    await page.fill('[data-testid="address-input"]', "123 Main St");
    await page.fill('[data-testid="city-input"]', "New York");
    await page.fill('[data-testid="zip-input"]', "10001");

    // Continue to payment
    await page.click('[data-testid="continue-button"]');

    // Fill payment (use test card)
    await page.fill('[data-testid="card-number"]', "4242424242424242");
    await page.fill('[data-testid="card-expiry"]', "12/25");
    await page.fill('[data-testid="card-cvc"]', "123");

    // Place order
    await page.click('[data-testid="place-order-button"]');

    // Verify success
    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*order-confirmation/);
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="order-number"]')).toBeVisible();
  });
});
```

## Page Object Model

```typescript
// pages/LoginPage.ts
import { Page, Locator } from "@playwright/test";

export class LoginPage {
  readonly page: Page;
  readonly emailInput: Locator;
  readonly passwordInput: Locator;
  readonly submitButton: Locator;
  readonly errorMessage: Locator;

  constructor(page: Page) {
    this.page = page;
    this.emailInput = page.locator('[data-testid="email-input"]');
    this.passwordInput = page.locator('[data-testid="password-input"]');
    this.submitButton = page.locator('[data-testid="submit-button"]');
    this.errorMessage = page.locator('[data-testid="error-message"]');
  }

  async goto() {
    await this.page.goto("/login");
  }

  async login(email: string, password: string) {
    await this.emailInput.fill(email);
    await this.passwordInput.fill(password);
    await this.submitButton.click();
  }
}

// Usage in test
test("login using page object", async ({ page }) => {
  const loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
  await loginPage.goto();
  await loginPage.login("test@example.com", "password123");
  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*dashboard/);
});
```

## Visual Regression Testing

```typescript
// tests/e2e/visual.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";

test("homepage visual regression", async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto("/");

  // Full page screenshot
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot("homepage.png", {
    fullPage: true,
    maxDiffPixels: 100,
  });
});

test("component visual regression", async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto("/components/buttons");

  const button = page.locator(".button-primary");
  await expect(button).toHaveScreenshot("primary-button.png");
});
```

## Tips

- Use data-testid attributes for reliable selectors
- Implement page objects for maintainability
- Run tests in parallel for speed
- Use visual regression for UI changes
- Mock external APIs for consistency
