Making Testing Fun with Playwright

Who says testing isn’t fun? All we need is a great developer experience and great tools and we will have more people writing tests meaning we will ship better code to production and save developers time and companies money.

Let’s take a look at how easy it is get started with end to end testing using Playwright and explore tools such as the VS Code extension, the locator picker to help us best locate an element on the page and codegen which will generate your test code on user interaction. Seeing a live trace of your tests while developing gives you better confidence in what your test is doing as you go back and forward in time over each step of your test which is also great for when you need to debug either locally or on CI.

Let’s dive into all the fun tools Playwright provides to help you get those tests written and have more confidence in your code.
