How do you perform code reviews on your Test automation code?

When people from different places work on automation projects, everyone must be in sync while creating automated tests. That’s why code reviews are a must as they help ensure we’re all on the same page. Below are the considerations I take into account during code reviews, based on my experiences and learning:

Assertions in Every Test:
Ensure that every test includes appropriate assertions to validate expected outcomes.

Independence of Tests:
Confirm that each test is independent, avoiding dependencies on other tests for execution.

Generic Methods for Repetitive Code:
Encourage the use of generic methods to handle repetitive code, promoting code reusability.

AAA Pattern (Arranged, Act, Assert):
Verify that tests follow the AAA pattern for better organization: arranging preconditions, performing actions, and asserting outcomes.

Use of Config Files:
Check for the use of configuration files, especially for endpoints and test data. This ensures a centralized location for changes, promoting maintainability.

Proper Wait Mechanism:
Assess the use of appropriate wait mechanisms (implicit or explicit) based on specific use cases to handle synchronization issues.

Selectors Usage:
Emphasize the proper use of selectors, favoring relative locators. Use identifiers such as ID, class, or specific attributes consistently for element identification.

Documentation and Comments:
Encourage clear and concise documentation within the code. Include comments for complex logic or where clarification is needed.
