Good selectors find elements reliably and keep tests stable. Bad selectors break tests if the page changes a little.

What does end-to-end testing verify?

A Only the backend logic works

B The entire app works correctly from user start to finish

C Only the UI looks nice

End-to-end testing checks the full app flow, not just parts.

A page.click(selector)

B page.load()

C page.test()

D page.open()

page.click(selector) simulates a user clicking an element.

Why should selectors be stable in Playwright tests?

A To increase test complexity

B To make tests run slower

C To avoid tests breaking when UI changes

D To hide elements from users

Stable selectors keep tests reliable even if UI changes.

What does a Playwright test assertion do?

A Checks if the app behaves as expected

B Runs the app server

C Starts the browser

D Writes test code

Assertions verify expected results during tests.

Which command starts a Playwright test script?

A git commit

npx playwright test runs Playwright test scripts.

Explain how you would write a simple end-to-end test for a Remix app using Playwright.

Think about the steps a user takes and how Playwright can mimic them.

Describe why end-to-end testing is important for web apps built with Remix.

Consider what happens if only parts are tested separately.
