Playwright Coding Standards and Guidelines

Use the Page Object Model for UI interactions.

Prefer Playwright locators such as getByRole() and getByLabel().

Avoid brittle CSS or XPath selectors unless needed for a specific UI.

Use async and await consistently for browser interactions.

Avoid fixed timeouts; prefer assertion-driven or state-based waits.

Keep test data separate from test logic where that improves reuse and readability.

Reuse existing helpers, page objects, and shared data before creating new patterns.

Keep tests easy to read, with meaningful assertions and focused workflows.

The active page object directory is pageObjects/.

Navigation helpers exist in utils/gotoHelper.ts.

Shared navigation metadata exists in data/navigationSections.ts.

pnpm is the intended package manager for this repo.
