Pitfalls and Suggestions

Best practices for automation #

• No hardcoding of test data in a test class.
• Add logs for important steps.
• Lots of meaningful assertions should be added.
• No hard coding of configurations.
• Page operations should be part of the page object class.
• Helpers for DB, files, etc., should be part of utility class.
• Add proper test comments.
• Give meaningful names to the test methods and follow java naming conventions.
• Group tests (such as sanity, regression, P0, etc.).
• Avoid dependent tests.
