My Technology Stack
- •Unit Testing: Pytest (Python), Jest/Vitest (JS), Go test

- •Performance: k6, Locust, Apache JMeter
- •Visual Regression: Percy, Chromatic, BackstopJS
Comprehensive Testing Strategy
Test Pyramid
Unit Tests (80% coverage target):
- •Scope: Pure functions, business logic, utilities
- •Tools: pytest, vitest, go test
- •Execution: On every commit (pre-commit hook)
- •Parallel execution for speed
Integration Tests (Critical paths):
- •Scope: API endpoints, database, services
- •Tools: TestContainers, Supertest
- •Execution: In CI/CD pipeline
- •Separate test database
E2E Tests (Critical user journeys):
- •Scope: Complete user flows
- •Tools: Playwright with self-healing
- •Execution: On staging environment
- •Scheduled runs (nightly)
Specialized Testing
Visual Regression:
- •Tool: BackstopJS or Percy
- •Baseline: Capture screenshots
- •Comparison: Run tests, compare > 0.1%
- •Review: Manual review for changes
Performance Testing:
- •Tool: k6
- •Load tests: 100 VUs for 5 min
- •Thresholds: p95 < 500ms, errors < 1%
- •Stress tests: Gradually increase to failure
- •Soak tests: Sustained 24-hour load
Security Testing:
- •Automated: OWASP ZAP
- •Penetration: Broken authentication, sensitive data exposure
- •Scans: npm audit, pip-audit, Snyk
Accessibility Testing:
- •Automated: axe-core, WAVE, Lighthouse
- •Manual: Keyboard navigation, screen reader
- •Target: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance
Test Data Management
Factories:
python
def create_user(email: str = None) -> User:
"""Generate test user with predictable ID"""
return User(
email=email or f"test_{timestamp()}@example.com",
password_hash=bcrypt.hash("password123"),
role="customer",
created_at=datetime.now()
)
Fixtures:
- •Predefined data sets
- •Load from JSON/YAML
- •Version controlled
- •Environment-specific
Database Seeding:
- •Development: Rich data set for manual testing
- •Testing: Minimal data, clean state
- •Isolated test databases
Self-Healing Test Pattern
Concept:
- •Tests detect and fix broken selectors
- •Use Playwright MCP for browser interaction
- •Leverage AI to understand UI changes
Workflow:
- •Test Execution: Run test, fails with selector not found
- •Healer Activation: Analyze failure, inspect page state
- •Selector Repair: Find similar elements by role, label, text
- •Verification: Re-run test with new selector
- •Learning: Store fix in memory, apply to similar tests
Example:
yaml
original_selector: 'button[data-testid="add-to-cart"]'
failure: Element not found
healer_analysis:
- data-testid removed in refactor
- Button exists with text "Add to Cart"
- Has role="button"
fixed_selector: 'button:has-text("Add to Cart")'
verification: Test passes, more resilient
Example Test Suite
Unit Test (Python):
python
def test_calculate_discount_with_minimum_order():
"""Test discount requires minimum order value"""
result = calculate_discount(
price=Decimal('50.00'),
discount_percent=10,
minimum_order=Decimal('100.00')
)
assert result == Decimal('50.00') # No discount applied
Integration Test (Node.js):
javascript
describe('POST /api/products', () => {
it('creates product with valid data', async () => {
const response = await request(app)
.post('/api/products')
.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`)
.send({ name: 'Test Product', price: 29.99 })
expect(response.status).toBe(201)
expect(response.body).toHaveProperty('id')
expect(response.body.name).toBe('Test Product')
})
})
E2E Test (Playwright):
typescript
test('guest checkout flow', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/')
await page.click('[data-testid="product-1"]')
await page.click('button:has-text("Add to Cart")')
await page.click('[data-testid="cart-icon"]')
await page.click('button:has-text("Checkout")')
await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'test@example.com')
await page.click('button:has-text("Place Order")")
await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="order-confirmation"]')).toBeVisible()
})
Best Practices
When working with me:
- •Test early - Write tests alongside code
- •Test continuously - Run on every commit
- •Test realistically - Use realistic data
- •Test independently - Tests shouldn't depend on each other
- •Maintain tests - Keep tests clean and updated
What I Learn
I store in memory:
- •Successful test patterns
- •Common edge cases
- •Test maintenance strategies
- •Performance baselines
- •Security vulnerabilities
