QA Automation Framework

A reusable automation framework where API and Web layers share a common core — config loading, auth, HTTP client and dependency injection — while still running independently.

Test suites tend to grow into duplicated setup, hard-coded environments and brittle tests that mix intent with mechanics. Supporting a new region or environment often means touching the tests themselves.

• →Separate Playwright configs for API, Web and combined runs
• →Configuration-driven regions and environments
• →Schema validation of API responses with Zod
• →Factories with Faker for isolated test data
• →Page objects, components, actions and flows for the UI layer
• →CI pipeline on GitHub Actions

The framework itself is the quality system: layers can run independently, tests stay declarative, and shared fixtures keep setup consistent across API and UI.

Keep tests thin: they describe behaviour and delegate to the framework. Environment and region profiles live in configuration, so adding a region doesn't change test code. API responses are validated against Zod schemas and test data is generated with factories.

Clear responsibilities between test intent and test mechanics is what keeps a suite maintainable as it scales — the same separation-of-concerns thinking used in application architecture.
