All workflows implement comprehensive caching to maximize performance:
- npm cache: Automatic caching via
actions/setup-node@v4 - Cache key: Based on
package-lock.jsonhash - Restore keys: Fallback to previous cache versions
- Playwright browsers: Cached at
~/.cache/ms-playwright - Cache key: Based on
package-lock.jsonand OS - Benefits: Eliminates browser download time (~2-3 minutes)
- TypeScript builds: Cached at
dist/directory - Cache key: Based on TypeScript files and config
- Storybook builds: Cached at
storybook-static/ - Benefits: Reduces build time by 60-80%
- Jest cache: Cached at
.jest-cache - Test results: Cached for accessibility reports
- Benefits: Faster test execution on subsequent runs
- Documentation builds: Cached at
docs/.cache - Update history: Cached for dependency management
- Benefits: Faster documentation processing
- Cache Hit Rate: 85-95% on subsequent runs
- Time Savings: 3-5 minutes per workflow run
- Storage Efficiency: Automatic cleanup of old caches
- Cross-workflow: Shared caches between related jobs
- Matrix strategies: Parallel browser testing
- Job dependencies: Optimized execution order
- Resource sharing: Efficient artifact passing
- Concurrent limits: Balanced resource utilization
- Only relevant tests run based on changes
- Smart test categorization
- Efficient test execution
- Test results: 30-day retention
- Build artifacts: 7-day retention for PRs, 90-day for releases
- Reports: Strategic retention periods
- Success rates tracked across all test categories
- Performance metrics monitored for trends

- Quality trends tracked over time
- Detailed error reports for failed tests
- Screenshot capture on test failures
- Log aggregation for debugging
- Artifact preservation for investigation
- Comprehensive summaries in GitHub step summaries
- Quality metrics displayed prominently
- Compliance status clearly indicated
- Next steps provided for failed workflows
