intermediate Published 21 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Implement Page Object Model in your E2E testing framework
  2. Separate QA code from dev code in your monorepo using distinct folders or modules
  3. Configure your test runner to recognize and execute QA code independently
  4. Monitor and analyze test results to identify areas for improvement
  5. Refactor and optimize QA code to reduce flakiness and maintenance overhead
Who Needs to Know This

QA engineers and developers can benefit from this approach as it streamlines E2E testing and reduces maintenance overhead, allowing teams to focus on delivering high-quality software faster
