Common Test Architecture Anti-Patterns

Technical debt in test automation compounds exponentially. Here are the architectural decisions that create unmaintainable test suites.

Race Condition Cascades

Improper WebDriverWait implementations, polling timeouts, and async/await mismanagement. Tests fail non-deterministically due to timing dependencies and DOM manipulation race conditions.

Brittle Selector Strategies

Over-reliance on XPath axes, CSS pseudo-selectors without semantic anchors. Page Object Models tightly coupled to DOM structure. Minor UI changes require extensive refactoring across test suites.

Sequential Execution Bottlenecks

Lack of parallel test distribution, shared state dependencies, inefficient resource pooling. CI/CD pipelines become the critical path with 3+ hour feedback cycles.

Infrastructure Cost Spiral

Inefficient browser instance management, over-provisioned execution environments, redundant data setup/teardown. Cloud execution costs scale linearly with test count rather than logarithmically.

Test Pyramid Inversion

Heavy reliance on UI tests for business logic validation. Missing contract testing, insufficient unit test coverage, integration tests that don't isolate external dependencies.

Poor Observability

Inadequate test telemetry, missing execution traces, no performance profiling. Failure analysis requires manual log correlation across multiple systems and environments.
