What browser does this skill use for automation?

It uses Chromium in headless mode via Playwright to ensure efficient, consistent, and high-performance testing results.

Does this skill support testing multiple servers simultaneously?

Yes, the included with_server.py helper allows you to manage multiple servers, such as a backend and a frontend, concurrently for comprehensive end-to-end testing.

Can I use this for static HTML files?

Absolutely. The skill includes a specific decision tree for static HTML that allows you to read files directly and identify selectors before writing Playwright scripts.

How does it handle dynamic content that takes time to load?

The skill follows a best-practice pattern of waiting for the 'networkidle' state before performing DOM inspection or actions to ensure all JavaScript has fully executed.

Should I read the source code of the helper scripts?

It is recommended to run the scripts with the --help flag first. They are designed to be used as black-box tools to prevent polluting your AI context window with large amounts of code.

セキュリティとテスト

Automates local web application testing and browser interaction using Playwright scripts and server lifecycle management.

概要

The Web Application Testing skill provides a specialized toolkit for testing and debugging local web applications by integrating Playwright with automated server management. It enables developers to launch multiple local services concurrently, perform deep DOM reconnaissance, and execute complex UI automation scripts through a streamlined 'reconnaissance-then-action' pattern. By offering pre-built helper scripts for server lifecycles and browser logs, it simplifies the process of verifying dynamic web behavior and identifying reliable element selectors while maintaining a clean context window.

主な機能

Automated server lifecycle management for single and multi-service architectures.
Reconnaissance-then-action workflow to handle complex dynamic web states.
Native Playwright integration for high-fidelity browser automation and testing.
Support for both static HTML files and dynamic JavaScript-heavy applications.
Visual debugging tools including full-page screenshot capture and DOM inspection.
