How do you resolve flaky test scripts?

By using dynamic element selectors, avoiding hardcoded wait times, and using auto-wait assertions.

How is test execution time minimized?

We run test files in parallel across multiple CPU cores, and cache build targets during pipeline execution.

We spin up clean container databases before runs, using mock seed data to ensure consistent test conditions.

We prioritize custom test attributes (like data-testid) to prevent tests from breaking when layout styles change.

Unit tests check isolated functions, while integration tests verify how multiple systems interact.

We write pipeline configurations that trigger test suites on pull requests, blocking merges if tests fail.
