Playwright Technical Challenge

Welcome to the Playwright technical challenge!

Objective: Your task is to review the existing Playwright test suite for https://practicesoftwaretesting.com, identify and fix issues within the tests and Page Objects and implement missing tests.

Website Under Test: https://practicesoftwaretesting.com

Tasks: Part 1: Bug Fixing & Code Problems Familiarise yourself with the Page Objects in the pages directory and the tests in the tests directory.

• Review tests/login.spec.ts and its corresponding pages/login.page.ts. There's an issue preventing login functionality tests from passing consistently. Identify and fix it (the bug might be in the spec file or the Page Object).

• In tests/products.spec.ts and potentially pages/products.page.ts or pages/productDetails.page.ts, the test Add product to favorites and verify is failing. Identify and fix it.

Part 2 by using Cursor: Missing Tests & Page Object Enhancements

• In pages/products.page.ts:

  • Implement the method filterByCategory(categoryName: string).
  • Implement a method getDisplayedProductNames(): Promise<string[]> or verifyProductsBelongToCategory(categoryName: string).

• In tests/products.spec.ts:

  • Using the new methods in ProductsPage, implement the test should filter products by category. This test should:
    • Navigate to the product listing page.
    • Use the ProductsPage to select a product category (e.g., "Drills").
    • Use the ProductsPage to verify that only products belonging to that category are displayed.

• In pages/cart.page.ts (or create if placeholder):

  • Add necessary locators for cart items (name, price, quantity, remove button).
  • Implement methods like getCartItemDetails(productName: string): Promise<{name: string, price: string, quantity: string}>, removeItem(productName: string).
  • Implement getCartItemCount(): Promise<number> and isCartEmpty(): Promise<boolean>.

• In tests/cart.spec.ts (or create if placeholder):

  • Implement a test should add a product to the cart and verify cart contents using methods from ProductDetailsPage (for adding to cart) and CartPage (for verification).
  • Implement a test should increase product quantity in cart using CartPage methods.
  • Implement a test should remove a product from the cart using CartPage methods. (Bonus)

Evaluation Criteria:

• Correctness of bug fixes (in tests or Page Objects).
• Completeness and correctness of new tests and Page Object methods.
• Adherence to POM principles.
• Effectiveness of performance issue identification and proposed solutions.
• Code quality, readability, and use of Playwright best practices.

Good luck!
