# End-to-End (E2E) Testing
Use E2E tests to cover critical user journeys in a real browser. Prefer the framework already configured in the Angular workspace, such as Cypress or Playwright.
## Running E2E Tests
Check `package.json` and `angular.json` for the project-specific command. Common patterns include:
```shell
npm run e2e
pnpm e2e
ng e2e
```
When the app must be built or served first, use the existing project scripts instead of inventing a parallel test entrypoint.
## Test Structure
- Keep E2E specs close to the configured test framework, such as `cypress/e2e/` or `e2e/`.
- Put reusable login/setup helpers in the framework support directory.
- Keep fixtures explicit and small enough that each test can explain the user state it depends on.
### Cypress Example
```typescript
describe('Login flow', () => {
it('redirects to dashboard on valid credentials', () => {
cy.visit('/login');
cy.get('[data-cy=email]').type('user@example.com');
cy.get('[data-cy=password]').type('password123');
cy.get('[data-cy=submit]').click();
cy.url().should('include', '/dashboard');
});
});
```
### Playwright Example
```typescript
import {expect, test} from '@playwright/test';
test('redirects to dashboard on valid credentials', async ({page}) => {
await page.goto('/login');
await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('user@example.com');
await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('password123');
await page.getByRole('button', {name: 'Sign in'}).click();
await expect(page).toHaveURL(/dashboard/);
});
```
## Best Practices
- Prefer accessible locators (`getByRole`, `getByLabel`) or stable `data-*` attributes.
- Avoid selectors that depend on CSS classes, DOM depth, or incidental text.
- Wait for specific UI states, routes, or network responses instead of arbitrary sleeps.
- Keep smoke tests short and reserve full workflow coverage for the highest-value paths.
