how do we use Playwright?

Our AI agent mimics human users to navigate apps, interpret app intent, and identify relevant user flows. We record and store the interaction chains of these flows and convert them into test cases.  
We generate a corresponding Playwright code for each test case’s interaction chain deterministically prior to test execution.
We use Playwright test viewer to allow you to inspect test results for debugging purposes. You can even run the plain Playwright code locally for debugging.

why do we use Playwright for end-to-end testing?

fast & reliable
Playwright tests multiple browsers simultaneously and runs headed or headless.
prevents flakiness
It includes features such as auto-wait and integrated VS Code debugging.
trace viewer
We can play back visual recordings to pinpoint specific interactions.
open source & free
Playwright has 59.2k stars and 3.3k forks as of February 2024.
dev community support
It's the most popular modern browser testing framework.
backed by Microsoft
Microsoft has a track record of providing open source dev tools

what functionality do our end-to-end tests include?

auto-discovered tests
Getting started is quick and easy. Let AI have a look at your app and discover tests to cover your critical flows.
auto-generated tests
Playwright test code is generated automatically as our AI agent mimics a human user to navigate the app.
test hosting
We host and run the Playwright tests. You can schedule test runs, trigger manually or from your CI/CD.
parallel execution
We run tests in parallel to reduce the waiting.  We'll finish in 20 minutes or less, regardless of test suite size.
CI / CD
Easily integrate and run Octomind with GitHub, Azure, Jenkins, Vercel or via curl command.
local execution
Download the Playwright code and run our tests on your own machines against your local dev environment.
debugging
Use Playwright trace viewer and Debugtopus to run tests locally for easier debugging.
visual editor
Not familiar with selectors and DOM elements? Select elements from snapshots of your page with the visual locator picker.
unlimited test runs
Run your test suite as often as you like . Manually triggered in any tier, scheduled runs based on plan subscriptions.
one-time-password
For improved security, you can log into Octomind using a one-time password.
private location worker
Ensures secure access of Octomind tests to applications hosted behind firewalls or other private environments.
Slack integration
We can send test results from your test runs directly to Slack.
orchestration APIs
Do you have complex test cases that require set-up data? Do you have long running tasks or custom code? We got you covered.
COMING SOON
auto-maintenance
When you change UI, our tests will automatically adapt to the new user flow. No need to rewrite broken tests.
COMING SOON
flakiness prevention
We know the reasons tests fail and deploy strategies to mitigate flakiness. Including AI.
