Playwright E2E & Click-Verification Guide

Use it when verifying a web change actually works in a real browser, testing user flows, debugging a UI bug live, or confirming an authed/gated page before shipping.

Keywords: Playwright, e2e, browser test, click test, screenshot, headless.

Drive a real browser to prove a web change works — not just that it compiles. Use this to verify flows end-to-end, reproduce UI bugs, and screenshot pages. Pairs with nextjs-app.

Core principle: a green build is not a working feature. Before calling an interactive change done, click through the actual rendered page in a browser. Especially for authed routes, modals, and forms — those are exactly where "looks fine in code" silently breaks.
