Web Application Testing

This skill enables comprehensive testing and debugging of local web applications using Playwright automation.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Test frontend functionality in a real browser
  • Verify UI behavior and interactions
  • Debug web application issues
  • Capture screenshots for documentation or debugging
  • Inspect browser console logs
  • Validate form submissions and user flows
  • Check responsive design across viewports

Prerequisites

  • Node.js installed on the system
  • A locally running web application (or accessible URL)
  • Playwright will be installed automatically if not present

Core Capabilities

1. Browser Automation

  • Navigate to URLs
  • Click buttons and links
  • Fill form fields
  • Select dropdowns
  • Handle dialogs and alerts

2. Verification

  • Assert element presence
  • Verify text content
  • Check element visibility
  • Validate URLs
  • Test responsive behavior

3. Debugging

  • Capture screenshots
  • View console logs
  • Inspect network requests
  • Debug failed tests

Usage Examples

Example 1: Basic Navigation Test

// Navigate to a page and verify title
await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');
const title = await page.title();
console.log('Page title:', title);

Example 2: Form Interaction

// Fill out and submit a form
await page.fill('#username', 'testuser');
await page.fill('#password', 'password123');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard');

Example 3: Screenshot Capture

// Capture a screenshot for debugging
await page.screenshot({ path: 'debug.png', fullPage: true });

Guidelines

  1. Always verify the app is running - Check that the local server is accessible before running tests
  2. Use explicit waits - Wait for elements or navigation to complete before interacting
  3. Capture screenshots on failure - Take screenshots to help debug issues
  4. Clean up resources - Always close the browser when done
  5. Handle timeouts gracefully - Set reasonable timeouts for slow operations
  6. Test incrementally - Start with simple interactions before complex flows
  7. Use selectors wisely - Prefer data-testid or role-based selectors over CSS classes

Common Patterns

Pattern: Wait for Element

await page.waitForSelector('#element-id', { state: 'visible' });

Pattern: Check if Element Exists

const exists = await page.locator('#element-id').count() > 0;

Pattern: Get Console Logs

page.on('console', msg => console.log('Browser log:', msg.text()));

Pattern: Handle Errors

try {
  await page.click('#button');
} catch (error) {
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'error.png' });
  throw error;
}

Limitations

  • Requires Node.js environment
  • Cannot test native mobile apps (use React Native Testing Library instead)
  • May have issues with complex authentication flows
  • Some modern frameworks may require specific configuration
