Test Code Review

Code Review in Test Automation

Test code is just as important as production code. Therefore, code reviews should also be mandatory for automation projects.

Why It Matters

A proper review process helps:

• Eliminate duplicate code
• Improve readability and maintainability
• Catch incorrect assertions early
• Spread best practices across the team

What to Check During Reviews

• Proper abstraction (Page Object Model, reusable methods)
• Avoiding hard-coded values
• Eliminating unnecessary waits or sleeps
• Ensuring test independence
• Clear and meaningful test names

High-quality test code leads to sustainable automation.
