## How to Run Tests

### Local Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
cd frontend
npm install

# Install Playwright browsers
npx playwright install

# Run all tests
npm run test:e2e

# Run with UI mode (interactive)
npm run test:e2e:ui

# Run specific test file
npx playwright test scenario-crud.spec.ts

# Run in debug mode
npm run test:e2e:debug

# Run with visible browser
npm run test:e2e:headed
```

### CI Mode

```bash
# Run tests as in CI
npm run test:e2e:ci
```

### Visual Regression

```bash
# Run visual tests
npx playwright test visual-regression.spec.ts

# Update baseline screenshots
UPDATE_BASELINE=true npx playwright test visual-regression.spec.ts
```

## Prerequisites

1. **Backend running** on http://localhost:8000
2. **Frontend dev server** will be started automatically by Playwright
3. **PostgreSQL** database (if using full backend)

## Coverage Report Strategy

### Current Setup
- HTML reporter generates `e2e-report/` directory
- JUnit XML output for CI integration
- Screenshots and videos on failure
- Trace files for debugging

### Future Enhancements
To add code coverage:

1. **Frontend Coverage**:
   ```bash
   npm install -D @playwright/test istanbul-lib-coverage nyc
   ```
   Instrument code with Istanbul and collect coverage during tests.

2. **Backend Coverage**:
   Use pytest-cov with Playwright tests to measure API coverage.

3. **Coverage Reporting**:
   - Upload coverage reports to codecov.io
   - Block PRs if coverage drops below threshold
   - Generate coverage badges

## GitHub Actions Workflow

The workflow (`/.github/workflows/e2e.yml`) includes:

1. **E2E Tests Job**: Runs all tests on every push/PR
2. **Visual Regression Job**: Compares screenshots on PRs
3. **Smoke Tests Job**: Quick sanity checks on pushes

### Workflow Features
- PostgreSQL service container
- Backend server startup
- Artifact upload for reports
- Parallel job execution
- Conditional visual regression on PRs

## Test Architecture

### Design Principles
1. **Deterministic**: Tests use unique names and clean up after themselves
2. **Isolated**: Each test creates its own data
3. **Fast**: Parallel execution where possible
4. **Reliable**: Retry logic for flaky operations
5. **Maintainable**: Shared utilities and fixtures

### Data Flow
```
Global Setup → Test Suite → Individual Tests → Global Teardown
    ↓              ↓              ↓                ↓
  Create dirs  Create data   Run assertions   Cleanup data
```

### API Helpers
All test files use shared API helpers for:
- Creating/deleting scenarios
- Starting/stopping scenarios
- Sending logs
- Generating unique names

## Next Steps

1. **Run setup verification**:
   ```bash
   npx playwright test setup-verification.spec.ts
   ```

2. **Generate baseline screenshots** (for visual regression):
   ```bash
   UPDATE_BASELINE=true npx playwright test visual-regression.spec.ts
   ```

3. **Add data-testid attributes** to frontend components for more robust selectors

4. **Configure environment variables** in `.env` file if needed

5. **Start backend** and run full test suite:
   ```bash
   npm run test:e2e
   ```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Browsers not installed**:
   ```bash
   npx playwright install
   ```

2. **Backend not accessible**:
   - Ensure backend is running on port 8000
   - Check CORS configuration

3. **Tests timeout**:
   - Increase timeout in `playwright.config.ts`
   - Check if dev server starts correctly

4. **Visual regression failures**:
   - Review diff images in `e2e/screenshots/diff/`
   - Update baselines if UI intentionally changed
