Test Strategy for Modern Web Apps (2025)

Pyramid That Works

  • Unit: fast and isolated, pure functions and hooks.
  • Integration: component + data boundary (mock network, not logic).
  • E2E: critical user journeys only.

Keep It Fast

  • Run unit/integration in Vitest; E2E in Playwright on CI only.
  • Parallelize by folder; cache node_modules and Vite.

What Not To Test

  • Library internals; test your behavior, not their code.
  • Implementation details; focus on outcomes and accessibility.

Less noise, more confidence.
