Our team keeps getting blindsided by CSS class changes breaking Playwright scripts. Last week a shopping cart redesign wiped out 3 days of work. I tried writing smarter selectors, but it’s still a manual chase. Anyone solved this without constant maintenance? How do you handle sites that update their UI weekly?
Set up Latenode’s UI change detector. It auto-updates selectors when elements shift and retests critical paths overnight. Saved us 20+ hours/month on test maintenance.
We use visual regression tools alongside our tests. While they don’t fix selectors, they help catch UI changes faster. For dynamic classes, combining XPath with ARIA labels worked better than CSS selectors alone. Still requires manual checks though.
try using data-testid attributes if devs will add them. more stable than classes
