What is the benefit of the 'Reconnaissance-Then-Action' pattern?

This pattern ensures that Claude first inspects the rendered state of the page to find accurate selectors before attempting to click or interact, significantly reducing automation errors.

Does it support capturing visual evidence of bugs?

Yes, it includes built-in patterns for capturing full-page screenshots, which is essential for debugging UI states and visual regressions.

How does this skill handle dynamic content and JavaScript?

The skill utilizes a 'networkidle' pattern, which instructs the browser to wait for all network activity to settle and JavaScript to execute before performing inspections.

Can I test both frontend and backend servers simultaneously?

Yes, the provided with_server.py helper script supports managing multiple servers, allowing you to launch a backend and frontend together before running tests.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Facilitates end-to-end testing and interaction with local web applications using Playwright scripts and automated server management.

Acerca de

This skill provides a robust framework for testing web applications directly within the Claude environment. It enables users to write and execute Python-based Playwright scripts, manage the lifecycle of local backend and frontend servers using specialized helper scripts, and perform deep DOM inspections to debug complex UI behaviors. By automating browser reconnaissance, screenshot capture, and log viewing, it helps developers verify frontend functionality and fix interface bugs efficiently without manual browser intervention.
