Project Structure & Best Practices

A clean and scalable project structure is essential for long-term maintainability.

Recommended Folder Structure

├── tests/
│   ├── login.spec.ts
│   ├── register.spec.ts
├── pages/
│   ├── login.page.ts
│   ├── dashboard.page.ts
├── utils/
│   ├── test-data.ts
├── fixtures/
├── playwright.config.ts

Best Practices

1. Use Page Object Model (POM)

Keeps UI logic separated from test logic.

2. Keep tests small and independent

Each test should validate a single behavior.

3. Avoid hardcoded data

Use configuration files or environment variables.

4. Use parallel execution

Playwright is optimized for parallel test runs.

5. Enable screenshots and videos

Helps significantly with debugging failures.
