Does it support testing multiple services at once?

Absolutely. You can define multiple server commands—such as a Python backend and a React frontend—and the skill will coordinate their startup before executing the automation script.

How does this skill handle local development servers?

The skill utilizes a specialized with_server.py helper script that manages the lifecycle of your servers (e.g., npm run dev) automatically, starting them before tests run and shutting them down afterward.

Can it test dynamic JavaScript-heavy applications?

Yes, it is designed specifically for dynamic apps. It uses a 'networkidle' wait state to ensure all JavaScript has executed and the DOM is fully rendered before attempting any interactions.

Does it run in headless mode?

Yes, all Playwright scripts are executed in headless Chromium mode by default to ensure efficient performance and compatibility within the Claude Code environment.

How does the AI know which buttons or inputs to click?

It follows a reconnaissance pattern: it first navigates to the page, captures a screenshot and the rendered DOM, identifies the correct CSS selectors, and then executes the interaction logic.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Automates local web application testing and UI verification using Playwright for robust frontend debugging and end-to-end testing.

Acerca de

This skill empowers Claude to interact with and test local web applications by generating and executing Python-based Playwright scripts. It features a specialized server lifecycle manager to handle backend and frontend processes simultaneously, ensuring environments are ready before testing begins. By utilizing a reconnaissance-then-action pattern, it captures screenshots and inspects the rendered DOM to accurately identify selectors, making it ideal for debugging dynamic web interfaces and verifying complex user workflows without cluttering the AI's context window.
