Does it support multi-user authentication?

Absolutely, it provides implementation patterns for managing multiple user roles such as admin, user, and guest using storage state and context isolation.

How do worker-scoped fixtures differ from test-scoped ones?

Worker-scoped fixtures are created once per worker process (reused across multiple tests), while test-scoped fixtures are recreated fresh for every individual test case.

Can I use this skill for API testing?

Yes, this skill includes specific patterns for using the Playwright request fixture and creating custom fixtures for mocking API responses and status codes.

Can this help with database cleanup during testing?

Yes, it provides patterns for integrating database clients (like Prisma) into fixtures to perform automated cleanup before or after each test run.

What are Playwright fixtures?

Fixtures are reusable pieces of the test environment that are automatically initialized and cleaned up by Playwright's runner, allowing for modular and isolated test logic.

Security & Testing

Manages complex test state and infrastructure through reusable Playwright fixtures and lifecycle hooks for maintainable E2E suites.

About

This skill empowers developers to architect robust, maintainable end-to-end testing suites by mastering Playwright's dependency injection system and lifecycle management. It provides implementation patterns for building custom fixtures with automated setup and teardown, managing multi-role authentication states, handling database isolation, and mocking API responses. By leveraging these patterns, you can ensure your test environment remains predictable, your code stays DRY, and your test execution is optimized for speed and reliability.
