Complex Scenario Pain Points
Multi-step business flows (e.g. payment + email notification + DB records) require cross-system validation.
Shortest's solution strategy
- Chained life cycle control: .before()/.after() hooks string together multiple test phases
- cross-system assertion: Example showing simultaneous validation of localStorage and database records
- context-sensitive: The page object remains in the session state throughout the test.
best practice
- Split long processes into multiple SHORTEST statements, organized by describe
- Clean up test data uniformly in after hooks
- Direct access to front-end state for deep assertion via page.evaluate()
