Best Practices

Test Strategy

• Define clear test objectives
• Use risk-based testing
• Maintain test coverage metrics
• Automate regression tests
• Perform exploratory testing
• Test early and often
• Review and update test cases

Automation

• Follow Page Object Model
• Make tests independent
• Use explicit waits
• Implement proper error handling
• Maintain test data separately
• Use CI/CD integration
• Monitor test stability

Defect Management

• Write clear bug reports
• Include reproduction steps
• Attach screenshots/logs
• Prioritize appropriately
• Track to closure
• Analyze root causes
• Share lessons learned

Anti-Patterns

❌ Testing only happy paths ❌ No test automation strategy ❌ Vague bug reports ❌ Testing without requirements ❌ Ignoring flaky tests ❌ No regression testing ❌ Testing in production only
