Problem
The existing Selenium-based suite was slow, flaky, and difficult to maintain across five product teams sharing one codebase.
Architecture
Page Object Model with a fixture-driven test runner, layered API + UI hybrid testing, and a custom reporting pipeline feeding into CI dashboards.
Challenges
- Flaky tests caused by shared test data across parallel runs
- Slow CI feedback loops blocking releases
Solutions
- Introduced isolated test data factories per worker
- Sharded test execution across CI runners to cut wall-clock time
