Web Application Testing

To test local web applications, write native Python Playwright scripts.

Triggers

Activate this skill when the user wants to:

• Verify frontend functionality of a local web application
• Debug UI behavior or capture browser screenshots
• Automate browser interactions (form fills, button clicks, navigation)
• View browser console logs or test rendering
• Write Playwright automation scripts for local dev environments

This skill is for local development environments only. Do not run against production URLs.

NOT For

• Production testing — do not run against live production URLs; use staging only
• Load testing or performance testing — use dedicated tools (k6, Locust, etc.)
• API-only testing — no browser needed; use exec with curl or httpx
• Visual regression testing at scale — this skill handles functional automation, not pixel-diffing
