Scenarios to automate
Work top to bottom — each one adds a new technique.
- 1
OTP & resend timer
Intermediateresend-otp stays disabled while resend-countdown ticks from 30 — mock the clock or wait for enabled.
- 2
Hover tooltips
IntermediateHover usage-bar-* to show usage-tooltip with units and amount (also works on keyboard focus).
- 3
Reading validation
BeginnerA reading below last-reading or non-numeric shows error-new-reading.
- 4
High-usage confirm
IntermediateMore than 1,000 units reveals confirm-high, which must be ticked to continue.
- 5
Slab maths
Advanced350 units → 100×3 + 200×5 + 50×7.5 + 50 = ₹1,725.00 in estimated-bill; slab-row lists each band.
- 6
Partial payments
Intermediatepay-partial below 50% of the due shows pay-error; a valid amount leaves remaining-due.
- 7
Autopay switch
IntermediateTurning autopay-toggle on opens mandate-modal; cancelling leaves it off.
- 8
Conditional warning
BeginnerChoosing “Sparking wire” shows safety-warning before submitting an outage.
Sample Playwright suite
A working starting point that finds elements every way Playwright can — by role, label, text, id, name, CSS, XPath and data-testid — so you practice them all. Pick your language, switch to data-testid only to compare, or try your own in the Locator Playground.
