Playwright: development features and setup
Playwright is a framework for end-to-end browser testing. It lets you test a real user flow across multiple browser engines.

Overview
On a website that runs automation, an API test will not reveal whether a button is hidden or a form field cannot be filled in on mobile. A browser test can follow the steps as a user would and verify the visible result. Use test data and check the failure message too, without sending real requests to the team.
Features
- Testing in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit
- Run locally and in CI systems
- Test isolation and reporting and diagnostic tools
Business uses
- Check form submission before deploying a change
- Verify search and filtering on desktop and mobile
Getting started
- Install the test tool in the project
- Write a test for one flow using test data
- Check that the test fails when the expected result is not displayed
What to check
- Check selector stability and prefer accessible names
- Isolate test actions so they do not create real orders or messages
