10/ When you build your test setup the right way from day one, you’re much less likely to lose trust in it later.
Your future self (and your team) will thank you.

9/ In short:
✅ Start with stable foundations
✅ Invest in API-level setup early
✅ Use fixtures, page objects, and shared abstractions
Your test suite should speed you up, not slow you down.

8/ Page objects & explicit concurrency control
Define structured interactions (buying a product, making an order) in a page object.
Use Promise.all to wait for both actions + requests so your test doesn’t break due to timing nuances.

7/ Use shared fixtures. If external dependencies fail (e.g. a third-party API), it should be handled at the fixture level — not in every single test.

6/ This approach lets your tests focus on behavior, not scaffolding. It leads to faster suites, easier maintainability, and more confidence.

5/ The alternative: API-driven test data
Create your users, subscriptions, and test state via API instead of the UI. Use fixtures to inject that data into Playwright.

4/ The core problem: too much setup in the UI.
If half your suite is just logging in, preparing users, etc., you’re doing it wrong.

3/ Signs your Playwright setup is failing
• Flaky tests due to shared state or data interference
• Failures on retries because of leftover state
• Tests wasting time on repetitive UI setup
• Symptoms reappearing unexpectedly

Why most Playwright setups fail Why bad Playwright setups cost more than bad tests, and how to build good ones

1/ End-to-end tests are supposed to give you confidence.
Instead, many Playwright setups create… chaos.
Here’s why (and what to do instead) 🧵
