Writing on testing, AI, Playwright, and the web.
Playwright comes with a webserver option in the config file which gives you the ability to launch a local dev server before running your tests. This is ideal for when writing your tests during development and when you don't have a staging or production url to test against.
We can write a simple test to make sure that when a user clicks on an item in the menu it takes them to the correct page. To test my website I use Playwright which I already have installed. Let's take a look at how to test the menu on desktop and mobile.
And there it is, another year gone but when you look back at all you have achieved then really there is no more to say than; what a year. From Google interviews to being hired by Microsoft, speaking at conferences and traveling to so many conferences and lots of sport, 2022 was a great year.
In order to write end to end tests we need to first find elements on the webpage and then perform user actions on them. For example, find a link and click on it. But before we dive into how to use the test generator, first let's understand what a link element is and what exactly locators are.
How can we locate a link click on it in our e2e tests. In this article we will learn how to locate elements in Playwright using the test generator to generate your tets based on user actions or pick a locator by clicking on an element

My site has a color mode option to change from light theme to dark theme or sepia theme or use the system preference. So how can we write a test to make sure this all works?
When a recruiter from Meta, from America, had called me, it just opened my eyes to the possibility that maybe just maybe I was actually good enough to work for the big tech companies.
