End-to-end automation framework for a production insurance quote and purchase flow

Tech Stack:

Playwright · TypeScript · Page Object Model · CI/CD

Project Overview

Problem Statement

The insurance platform relied heavily on manual regression testing, which was time-consuming and risky during frequent releases. Critical quote flows and form validations required consistent verification to prevent production issues.

QA Strategy & Approach

Selected Playwright for its speed, reliability, and cross-browser support

Prioritized high-risk business flows such as quote creation and form validation

Implemented Page Object Model (POM) for maintainability and scalability

Designed tests to be data-driven and environment-agnostic

Automation Implementation

Automated key user journeys

Organized test suites by feature and flow

Used reusable selectors and helper functions to reduce duplication

Challenges & Solutions

Dynamic UI elements:

Implemented robust locators and wait strategies

Frequent UI updates:

POM structure minimized maintenance effort

Test stability:

Reduced flakiness through proper assertions and retries

Results & Impact

Reduced manual regression time significantly

Improved release confidence for critical insurance flows

Enabled faster feedback during development cycles

Provided a foundation for future CI/CD integration

Tools & Technologies Used
