3. Write Maintainable Tests 🧪
- Follow DRY principles to avoid code duplication
- Parameterize test cases for reuse
- Use descriptive names for test scripts
- Leverage page object models for better structure
4. Integrate with CI/CD 🔄
Automate test execution as part of your deployment pipeline:
- Run tests on every commit to catch regressions early
- Set up notifications for test failures
- Monitor test results in real-time
5. Monitor and Analyze Results 📊
- Track test metrics like pass/fail rates
- Analyze failure trends to identify root causes
- Regularly update test suites to reflect application changes
