Awesome Web Testing with Playwright ft Andrew (Pandy) Knight | JS Drops

In this presentation by Andrew (Pandy) Knight, we'll delve into the critical practice of web testing. Traditionally, the testing pyramid divided our testing efforts into three layers, with a heavy emphasis on unit testing at the base. However, as we'll discover, the landscape is changing. We now prioritize fast feedback, simplified test development, and seamless integration with development workflows.

Enter Playwright, a modern open-source web testing framework by Microsoft. It not only challenges traditional testing paradigms but offers a host of advantages that make it a game-changer in the field. From lightning-fast execution to the ability to test UIs and APIs in harmony, Playwright provides a toolkit that empowers developers and testers alike.

Join us on this journey to reimagine web testing. Learn how to build robust web applications with the confidence that comes from comprehensive, efficient testing. Discover how Playwright can be your trusted companion in this quest for quality. It's time to test smarter, not harder.

Now I understand why people love playwright

I’m coming from cypress and was expecting the same silliness and complexity

Very refreshing

Being a visual learner, having a few slides with box & line diagrams showing the relationships would be so helpful to visual learners

I get easily confused trying to figure where all the pieces go and how they relate
