Best practices for maintaining end-to-end tests

The text discusses best practices for maintaining test suites in application workflows, emphasizing the importance of reducing test flakiness and false positives, making tests easy to understand, and leveraging a unique test suite across different environments. It highlights challenges like evolving UIs and test duplication, which complicate test maintenance, and suggests solutions such as using reliable locators, fine-tuning alerts, and consolidating workflow steps. The text also details how Datadog can aid in maintaining robust test suites by using multi-locator algorithms to adapt to UI changes and integrating tests with continuous integration (CI) workflows to ensure consistent test coverage and collaboration across teams. By implementing these strategies, teams can maintain efficient and reliable test suites that enhance troubleshooting and decrease maintenance efforts.
