Summary

Flow is an AI-powered regression test suite for Vercel Commerce using Playwright + Passmark. It can be extended with property-based testing and visual regression.

Recommended Changes

1. Property-Based Testing

  • Add property-based testing for regression scenarios:
    • Generate random valid/invalid product data
    • Verify invariants: cart total = sum of item prices, checkout requires items
    • Use fast-check for TypeScript property-based testing
    • Catches edge cases that manual test cases miss

2. Visual Regression Testing

  • Add Playwright Visual Comparisons:
    • Screenshot key pages (homepage, product page, checkout)
    • Compare against baselines to detect visual regressions
    • Set pixel mismatch thresholds (0.1% for critical pages, 1% for others)
    • Auto-update baselines on intentional UI changes

3. CI/CD Integration

  • Run tests in CI pipeline:
    • On PR: run full regression suite against preview deployment
    • On merge to main: run smoke tests against staging
    • On release: full suite against production
  • Add test timeouts and retry logic

4. Test Dashboard & Reporting

  • Set up a test reporting dashboard:
    • Historical test run data (pass/fail trends)
    • Performance regression alerts
    • Visual diff viewer for failed screenshots
    • Integration with GitHub Checks API

5. Flaky Test Detection

  • Implement flaky test detection:
    • Track pass/fail ratio per test
    • Flag tests that pass < 90% of runs
    • Auto-quarantine flaky tests with notification

6. Coverage Expansion

  • Add API contract testing (Pact or similar)
  • Add performance budget tests (Lighthouse assertions)
  • Add accessibility regression tests (axe-core)
  • Add security scan tests (OWASP ZAP or similar)
