Playwright reports are essential in a project since they provide a quick analysis about pass/fail ratio, scenarios, browsers behaviour, logs, etc. In this technical post, we will go over two approaches to exporting reports: static HTML pages and NGINX server. NOTE: If you need to know how to setup Playwright, please refer my previous post: Playwright Getting Started. Then, let’s create a file named static.yml in your ${PROJECT_HOME}/.github/workflows directory with this content: [Read More]

In the same way, we open our eyes and analyze if an image looks good; Applitools uses Visual AI to detect changes in our website so we can identify UI defects or validate expected new functionality. In this technical post, we will go over Applitools technology and how it can save us a ton of time in visual component validations.

Playwright was created to accommodate the needs of end-to-end testing. It supports all modern rendering engines, including Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox. It has an incredible architecture using WebSockets connection protocol, which means more efficient communication between test commands and actions in your browsers. Another great advantage is that it runs all your test in parallel and generates an excelent build-in report. Let’s start by installing NodeJS on our computer, I highly recommend using NVM so you can manage different versions. [Read More]
