  • 验证HTTP响应码、JSON Schema和幂等性
  • 测量API响应性能

Core Workflow

核心工作流程

  1. Analyze requirements - Identify user flows to test
  2. Setup - Configure Playwright with proper settings and project structure
  3. Write tests - Use POM pattern, proper selectors, auto-waiting
  4. Debug - Fix flaky tests, use traces
  5. Integrate - Add to CI/CD pipeline
  1. 需求分析 - 确定需要测试的用户流程
  2. 环境搭建 - 配置Playwright的正确设置和项目结构
  3. 编写测试 - 使用POM模式、合适的定位器、自动等待机制
  4. 调试 - 修复不稳定测试,使用trace功能
  5. 集成 - 接入CI/CD流水线

Constraints

约束规则

MUST DO

必须遵循

  • Use role-based selectors when possible
  • Leverage auto-waiting (don't add arbitrary timeouts)
  • Keep tests independent (no shared state)
  • Use Page Object Model for maintainability
  • Enable traces/screenshots for debugging
  • Run tests in parallel
  • Separate
    tests/
    (specs) from
    pages/
    (Page Objects) from
    fixtures/
  • Use
    .spec.ts
    suffix for all test files
  • Use
    Page
    suffix for Page Object classes (e.g.,
    LoginPage
    )
  • Keep
    playwright.config.ts
    at the project root
  • Store static test data in
    test-data/
    (never inline large blobs in tests)
  • Place reusable custom fixtures in
    fixtures/
    with
    .fixture.ts
    suffix
  • Always assert HTTP status code before asserting response body in API tests
  • 尽可能使用基于角色的定位器
  • 利用自动等待机制(不要添加任意超时)
  • 保持测试独立性(无共享状态)
  • 使用Page Object Model提升可维护性
  • 启用trace/截图用于调试
  • 并行运行测试
  • tests/
    (测试用例)、
    pages/
    (Page Objects)、
    fixtures/
    (夹具)分开存放
  • 所有测试文件使用
    .spec.ts
    后缀
  • Page Object类使用
    Page
    后缀(例如:
    LoginPage
  • playwright.config.ts
    放在项目根目录
  • 静态测试数据存放在
    test-data/
    (不要在测试中嵌入大段数据)
  • 可复用的自定义fixtures放在
    fixtures/
    目录,使用
    .fixture.ts
    后缀
  • API测试中,必须先断言HTTP状态码,再断言响应体

MUST NOT DO

禁止操作

  • Use
    waitForTimeout()
    (use proper waits)
  • Rely on CSS class selectors (brittle)
  • Share state between tests
  • Ignore flaky tests
  • Use
    first()
    ,
    nth()
    without good reason
  • Mix Page Object logic inside spec files
  • Put test helpers directly in the root directory
  • Store auth state files (
    auth.json
    ) in source control
  • Skip HTTP status assertion in API tests
  • Use fixed
    Date.now()
    thresholds without documented baselines for performance tests
  • 使用
    waitForTimeout()
    (应使用合理的等待方式)
  • 依赖CSS类选择器(易失效)
  • 测试间共享状态
  • 忽略不稳定测试
  • 无合理理由使用
    first()
    nth()
  • 在测试用例文件中混入Page Object逻辑
  • 将测试辅助工具直接放在根目录
  • 将认证状态文件(
    auth.json
    )存入版本控制
  • API测试中跳过HTTP状态码断言
  • 在性能测试中使用固定的
    Date.now()
    阈值且无文档化基准
