Can I use this to debug existing test failures?

Absolutely. Claude can use these rules to analyze your test code and identify where incorrect locator strategies or network timing issues are causing failures.

What locator strategies does it prioritize?

It prioritizes user-visible attributes like getByRole, getByLabel, and getByText to ensure tests remain resilient even when the underlying HTML structure changes.

How does this skill help reduce flaky tests?

It enforces web-first assertions and discourages hard-coded timeouts, ensuring tests wait naturally for the UI to reach the desired state before proceeding.

Does it support Page Object Models?

Yes, it includes specific rules and organizational patterns for creating maintainable Page Objects that separate page structure from test logic.
