Lesson 1
Tests should express business intent
A test should make the behaviour under validation obvious rather than expose every click and selector.
Design maintainable test automation using separation of concerns, services, fixtures and reusable business actions.
Learning outcomes
Guided lessons
Lesson 1
A test should make the behaviour under validation obvious rather than expose every click and selector.
Lesson 2
Use abstraction where it reduces duplication without hiding important behaviour.
Lesson 3
Create state through APIs where possible so UI tests spend time validating UI behaviour rather than performing setup.
Lesson 4
Make test data deterministic, isolated and disposable to reduce flaky cross-test dependencies.
Lesson 5
Design tests so workers can run independently without fighting over shared users or records.
Hands-on practice
Do not just tick these mentally. Write the query, create the test matrix, refactor the code, or document the decision. Practical evidence is the point.
