Web Application Testing

Test local web apps by writing native Playwright scripts.

Decision tree

• Static HTML → read the file to find selectors → write a Playwright script.
• Dynamic app → ensure the dev server is running, then drive the page with Playwright (navigate, click, type, assert), capturing screenshots and console logs.

Tips

• Prefer role/label selectors over brittle CSS.
• Capture a screenshot + console log on failure for fast debugging.
• Manage server lifecycle around the test run.
