- Cypress retries queries but not actions, and a then callback ends the retryable chain finding
- Cypress cannot drive a second browser tab, so target blank links need a different approach finding
- Cypress commands are queued, so plain JavaScript in a test body runs before any of them finding
- A Cypress test cannot visit two superdomains unless the second is wrapped in cy.origin finding
- cy.session caches login state per session id, and setup reruns whenever that id changes finding
- cy.intercept matches handlers in reverse order of definition, so the last one defined wins finding

- Playwright reuses an already-running dev server locally but never in CI, which hides stale builds finding
- Playwright assertions retry only when the locator itself is passed to expect, not an awaited value finding
- Every Playwright test gets a fresh browser context, so login has to be replayed or stored finding
- Playwright writes a trace only when the trace option is enabled, and on-first-retry is the cheap setting finding
- Playwright pins browser binaries per release, so upgrading the package without reinstalling breaks runs finding
- Playwright actions auto-wait for actionability, so a fixed timeout usually masks the real failure finding
- Playwright locators run in strict mode and throw when a selector matches more than one element finding
- An unregistered pytest marker only warns, so a typo in a mark name silently selects nothing finding
- pytest.raises match uses re.search on the string form, so regex metacharacters must be escaped finding
- pytest keeps the last three runs of tmp_path directories on disk rather than deleting them finding
- pytest only rewrites assertions in test modules and plugins, so helper modules give bare errors finding
- Two test files with the same basename collide in pytest unless the directories are packages finding
