You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: Mobile & Frontend Development
- Use case: Frontend Testing Strategy
- Source task:
  - Design a comprehensive testing strategy for a {{framework}} frontend application.
  - Step 1: Unit Tests: which parts of the frontend to unit test (business logic, custom hooks, utilities : not every component) using {{unit_test_framework}}.
  - Step 2: Component Tests: interaction testing with {{component_test_framework}} : what to test, what not to test.
  - Step 3: E2E Tests: critical user journeys to cover with {{e2e_tool}}, and how to prevent flaky tests.
  - Step 4: Visual Regression: when to use and Storybook + Chromatic setup.

# Goal
Unit test scope, component testing approach, E2E journey list with flakiness prevention, and visual regression setup.

# Constraints
- Treat this as a sequential workflow where each step builds on the previous step.
- Keep every step clearly labeled and easy to run separately if needed.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Unit test scope, component testing approach, E2E journey list with flakiness prevention, and visual regression setup.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When building a robust frontend test suite that catches real bugs without becoming a maintenance burden.

PRO TIP

Don't test implementation details in component tests β€” test what users see and do, not internal state or method calls.
