Quick Start

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• Playwright browsers

---

2. Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd testStampinUp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Install Playwright browsers
npx playwright install

Usage

[!IMPORTANT] Safety First Automated account creation (TC-AC-001) is configured in Dry Run mode by default. The test fills out the registration form but does not submit it, preventing unintended data creation in the production environment.

npm run test            # run all tests headless
npm run test:headed     # run tests in a visible browser
npm run test:ui         # open Playwright Test Runner GUI
npm run codegen         # generate code interactively

Project Structure

The project follows the Page Object Model (POM) pattern to ensure tests are modular, readable, and easy to maintain.

Key Features:

Locator-First Design Built using Playwright Locator objects for auto-waiting, stability, and resilience.

Strict Mode Validation All selectors are explicitly scoped to avoid collisions (e.g., differentiating between Login vs. Registration password fields).

Dynamic Test Data Uses Date.now() and randomized string generators to ensure unique data per test run.

Visual Debugging Automatically captures screenshots and videos on test failure to speed up investigation.
