Master end-to-end testing with Playwright and Cypress to build reliable test suites that catch bugs, improve confidence, and enable fast deployment. Use when implementing E2E tests, debugging flaky tests, or establishing testing standards.
Start a fresh conversation. Replace the highlighted placeholders.
Use the e2e-testing-patterns skill to design one small, non-destructive end-to-end test for [critical user journey] using the project's existing Playwright or Cypress setup. Define the success criteria, stable selectors, isolated test data, retry and tracing behavior, and how the test should run in CI. Do not target production.
Required inputs
Critical user journey
Existing test framework or preference
Safe test environment

E2E Testing Patterns
Build reliable, fast, and maintainable end-to-end test suites that provide confidence to ship code quickly and catch regressions before users do.
Use this skill when
Implementing end-to-end test automation
Debugging flaky or unreliable tests
Testing critical user workflows
Setting up CI/CD test pipelines
Testing across multiple browsers
Validating accessibility requirements
Testing responsive designs
Establishing E2E testing standards
Do not use this skill when
You only need unit or integration tests
The environment cannot support stable UI automation
You cannot provision safe test accounts or data
Instructions
Identify critical user journeys and success criteria.
Build stable selectors and test data strategies.
Implement tests with retries, tracing, and isolation.
Run in CI with parallelization and artifact capture.
Safety
Avoid running destructive tests against production.
Use dedicated test data and scrub sensitive output.
