Author Playwright smoke suites for web apps

Journey-selection, trace-on-retry infrastructure, and network stubs producing trustworthy five-minute gates.

Steps

  1. 1Pick 5-7 journeys by traffic × revenue impact; ignore the rest at gate level
  2. 2Configure trace + video on retry only; artifacts for failures, speed for passes
  3. 3Stub third-party calls; your gate shouldn't fail because an analytics vendor sneezed
  4. 4Seed state via API routes, never UI-click signup chains
  5. 5Assert user-visible outcomes (row rendered, email text) over DOM internals
  6. 6Run against preview deployments per PR; prod-smoke separately post-deploy

Common Pitfalls

  • ▲Flaky third-party scripts owning your merge gate
  • ▲Selectors coupled to styling classes renamed weekly
