description	Write deterministic E2E/integration tests: target resilient role/test-id selectors, wait on conditions never fixed sleeps, isolate and clean up test data, and structure with page objects so a UI change updates one locator.

E2E Automation

Purpose: automate the few critical journeys, reliably.

Selectors

Roles + data-testid > brittle CSS/XPath. Request testability from frontend-engineering.

Waiting

Condition-based (await element/state/network-idle), never a fixed sleep (flaky if short, slow if long).

Isolation

Each test sets up + tears down its own data; no order-dependence, no shared mutable state.

Structure

Page objects / fixtures so a UI change touches one locator, not fifty tests.

Flake

A flaky test is broken: fix determinism or quarantine — never normalize 're-run until green'.
