Sprint 1: E2E Test Improvements

Last Updated: February 2, 2026

What We Fixed

During Sprint 1, we resolved critical issues affecting E2E test reliability and performance.

Problem: Tests Were Timing Out

What was happening: Some tests would hang indefinitely or timeout after 30 seconds, especially in CI/CD pipelines.

Root cause:

  • Config reload overlay was blocking test interactions
  • Feature flag propagation was too slow during high load
  • API polling happened unnecessarily for every test

What we did:

  1. Added smart detection to wait for config reloads to complete
  2. Increased timeouts to accommodate slower environments
  3. Implemented request caching to reduce redundant API calls

Result: Test pass rate increased from 96% to 100%

Performance Improvements

  • Before: System settings tests took 23 minutes
  • After: Same tests now complete in 16 minutes
  • Improvement: 31% faster execution

What You'll Notice

  • Tests are more reliable and less likely to fail randomly
  • CI/CD pipelines complete faster
  • Fewer "Test timeout" errors in GitHub Actions logs

For Developers

If you're writing new E2E tests, the helpers in tests/utils/wait-helpers.ts and tests/utils/ui-helpers.ts now automatically handle:

  • Config reload overlays
  • Feature flag propagation
  • Switch component interactions

Follow the examples in tests/settings/system-settings.spec.ts for best practices.
