**e2e/crud/user-management.spec.ts** - CRUD Operations Tests
- Create user with validation
  - Form display
  - Required field validation
  - Email format validation
  - Successful creation
- Read/List users
  - Display user list
  - User details view
  - Search functionality
  - Pagination
- Update user
  - Edit form with pre-filled data
  - Successful update
  - Duplicate email prevention
- Delete user
  - Confirmation dialog
  - Cancel deletion
  - Successful deletion
  - Prevent self-deletion

### 3. Unit Tests (TDD Examples)

#### Email Validation (validate-email.test.ts)
**20 tests - 100% passing ✅**
- Valid emails (standard, with dots, plus signs, subdomains, country TLDs)
- Invalid emails (empty, no @, missing parts, spaces, double @, no TLD, improper dots)
- Edge cases (null, undefined, whitespace trimming)
- Case insensitivity

Implementation: `validate-email.ts`
- Handles null/undefined gracefully
- Trims whitespace
- Uses regex validation
- Checks for dots at start/end of local part
- Requires TLD in domain

#### Password Strength Validation (validate-password-strength.test.ts)
**23 tests - 100% passing ✅**

Test Coverage:
- **Password Requirements** (6 tests)
  - Minimum 8 characters
  - Uppercase letter
  - Lowercase letter
  - Number
  - Special character
  - All requirements met

- **Strength Levels** (4 tests)
  - Basic valid password
  - Multiple special chars
  - Very long and complex
  - Short but valid

- **Scoring** (3 tests)
  - Score range (0-100)
  - Longer passwords score higher
  - Character variety increases score

- **Edge Cases** (4 tests)
  - Empty string
  - Null and undefined
  - Very long passwords
  - Unicode characters

- **Security Patterns** (3 tests)
  - Common weak passwords detection
  - Sequential characters
  - Repeated characters

- **Return Type** (3 tests)
  - Correct interface structure
  - Error array when invalid
  - Empty errors when valid

Implementation: `validate-password-strength.ts`
- Returns detailed PasswordStrengthResult
- Scores 0-100 based on multiple factors
- Categorizes as weak/medium/strong
- Penalizes common patterns
- Handles edge cases gracefully

## 🎯 Demonstrates Best Practices

### Test-Driven Development (TDD)
✅ Red-Green-Refactor cycle demonstrated
✅ Tests written before implementation
✅ Implementation driven by test requirements
✅ Tests adjusted during refactor phase

### Playwright Best Practices
✅ Page Object Model (POM) pattern
✅ Test fixtures for common setup
✅ Descriptive test names
✅ Proper waiting strategies
✅ Graceful skipping when environment not ready
✅ Accessibility testing
✅ Performance testing
✅ Security testing

### Unit Testing Best Practices
✅ Parameterized tests with `it.each()`
✅ AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) pattern
✅ Comprehensive edge case coverage
✅ Clear test descriptions
✅ Test file naming convention (source.test.ts)
✅ Tests next to source files

## 🚀 Usage Examples

### Running Tests

```bash
# Unit Tests
npm test                                    # All unit tests
npm test validate-email                     # Email validation only
npm test validate-password-strength         # Password validation only
npm run test:coverage                       # With coverage report

# E2E Tests
npm run test:e2e                           # All E2E tests
npm run test:e2e auth/authentication       # Auth tests only
npm run test:e2e navigation                # Navigation tests only
npm run test:e2e crud/user-management      # CRUD tests only

# Interactive/Debug Modes
npm run test:e2e:ui                        # Interactive UI mode
npm run test:e2e:headed                    # See browser in action
npm run test:e2e:debug                     # Debug mode
npm run test:e2e:report                    # View HTML report
```

### Using Validation Functions

```typescript
// Email Validation
import { validateEmail } from '@/lib/validation/validate-email'

if (validateEmail('user@example.com')) {
  console.log('Valid email!')
}

// Password Strength
import { validatePasswordStrength } from '@/lib/validation/validate-password-strength'

const result = validatePasswordStrength('MyPassword123!')
if (result.valid) {
  console.log(`Strength: ${result.strength}`)
  console.log(`Score: ${result.score}/100`)
} else {
  console.log(`Errors: ${result.errors.join(', ')}`)
}
```
