Should I use this to write new tests from scratch?

No, this skill is optimized for maintenance. For creating entirely new tests, you should use a dedicated test-generator skill.

Can this skill fix flaky tests?

Yes, it analyzes common causes of flakiness like race conditions and suggests improvements such as network idle waits or more robust assertions.

What is the Playwright Test Maintainer skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code designed to help developers refactor, update, and improve existing Playwright end-to-end test suites.

How does it handle locator changes?

The skill can perform suite-wide search-and-replace or migration tasks, such as moving from fragile CSS selectors to standardized data-testid attributes.

Does it support the Page Object Model?

Absolutely. It can identify inline selectors and repetitive actions and refactor them into structured Page Objects or reusable fixtures.

セキュリティとテスト

Optimizes and maintains Playwright end-to-end test suites through refactoring, locator updates, and stability improvements.

概要

The Test Maintainer skill is designed to manage the lifecycle of existing Playwright E2E test suites. It assists developers in reducing technical debt by automating complex refactoring tasks such as migrating to the Page Object Model, updating selectors across multiple files, and consolidating duplicate test logic into reusable fixtures. Beyond simple updates, it focuses on test reliability by identifying and fixing common causes of flakiness, ensuring that your automation suite remains stable, readable, and easy to scale as your application evolves.
