05/26/2023, 3:27 AMI have a smoke test with a set of 14 tests and these test are flaky due to various reasons .
I find a few things that I can do to improve the robustness of the test.
1. Separate tests logically to make them independent of each other
2. Smooth handover of test 1 to test 2, currently if test 1 is looking for an element which if does not find or stuck the test suite is just hanging and not completing ( any suggestions )
3. Currently the test suite is using css selectors , I am planning to change it to the data- cy attribute ( any suggestions )
