Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill test-automation-framework- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads test-automation-framework automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Test Automation Framework
Table of Contents
Overview
A test automation framework provides structure, reusability, and maintainability for automated tests. It defines patterns for organizing tests, managing test data, handling dependencies, and generating reports. A well-designed framework reduces duplication, improves reliability, and accelerates test development.
When to Use
- Setting up new test automation
- Scaling existing test suites
- Standardizing test practices across teams
- Reducing test maintenance burden
- Improving test reliability and speed
- Organizing large test codebases
- Implementing reusable test utilities
- Creating consistent reporting
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
// framework/pages/BasePage.ts
import { Page, Locator } from "@playwright/test";
export abstract class BasePage {
constructor(protected page: Page) {}
async goto(path: string) {
await this.page.goto(path);
}
async waitForPageLoad() {
await this.page.waitForLoadState("networkidle");
}
async takeScreenshot(name: string) {
await this.page.screenshot({ path: `screenshots/${name}.png` });
}
protected async clickAndWait(locator: Locator) {
await Promise.all([
this.page.waitForResponse((resp) => resp.status() === 200),
locator.click(),
]);
}
}
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Use Page Object Model for UI tests
- Create reusable test utilities
- Implement proper wait strategies
- Use fixtures for test data
- Configure for multiple environments
- Generate readable test reports
- Organize tests by feature/type
- Version control test framework
❌ DON'T
- Put test logic in page objects
- Use hard-coded waits (sleep)
- Duplicate test setup code
- Mix test data with test logic
- Skip error handling
- Ignore test flakiness
- Create overly complex abstractions
- Hardcode environment URLs
