Playwright

Run browser-based E2E tests with visible Chrome, capture screenshots at each interaction point, and produce structured reports or interactive spot-check sessions.

Two Modes

Report Mode (default)

Automated test execution that produces a timestamped run directory with screenshots, a structured JSON report, and a human-readable summary. Use this when running as part of qe-agent's integration phase, CI-adjacent verification, or any time you need a documented record of test results.

Spot-Check Mode

Interactive session where the user watches the visible browser and approves each step in real time. Triggered by "let me watch", "spot check", or "walk me through". Pause after each navigation or interaction, describe what's on screen, and wait for the user's go-ahead. Screenshots still land in the timestamped run directory. Full workflow in references/screenshot-workflow.md.

Setup

Before running any tests, verify Playwright is available. Read references/setup.md for the full installation and configuration flow.
