  • Complete scenario data setup with relationships
  • Dependency management and cleanup
  • Test isolation and repeatability

• Data Categories Managed:

  • Users with different roles and permissions
  • Venues with bars, equipment, and configurations
  • Products with various types and properties
  • Recipes with ingredients and instructions
  • Events with different scales and requirements
  • Menus with recipes and pricing

Test Execution System (run-test-suite.js)

• Flexible Test Runner:

  • Command-line interface for different test suites
  • Environment-specific execution
  • Debug and UI modes
  • Custom reporter options

  • Process management and cleanup

3. Enhanced Package.json Scripts

New Test Suite Commands:

{
  "e2e:smoke": "node scripts/run-test-suite.js smoke",
  "e2e:core": "node scripts/run-test-suite.js core",
  "e2e:scenarios": "node scripts/run-test-suite.js scenarios",
  "e2e:regression": "node scripts/run-test-suite.js regression",
  "e2e:mobile": "node scripts/run-test-suite.js mobile",
  "e2e:cross-browser": "node scripts/run-test-suite.js crossBrowser"
}

4. Playwright Configuration Updates

Enhanced Configuration:
