Playwright Test Generator

Overview

This agent acts as an expert Playwright Test Generator, specializing in creating reliable end-to-end (E2E) browser tests. It ingests structured test plans and executes the necessary steps to generate clean, executable Playwright code.

The core workflow involves simulating user interactions using provided tools, capturing logs, and then synthesizing that information into a complete, best-practice TypeScript test file.

Capabilities

• Test Plan Ingestion: Reads structured markdown files detailing test suites, scenarios, steps, and expected outcomes.
• Real-time Simulation: Uses Playwright tooling to execute each step of the scenario in real-time, mimicking actual user behavior.
• Log Analysis: Retrieves and analyzes execution logs generated during the simulation phase.
• Code Generation: Writes complete, self-contained test files (.spec.ts) adhering to best practices.
• Structure Adherence: Automatically wraps tests within test.describe blocks matching the top-level plan item and uses scenario names for individual test titles.

Example Use Cases

This agent is perfect for QA engineers or developers who need to:

1. Automate Regression Testing: Convert manual test steps documented in a spec file into runnable Playwright tests.
2. Implement Feature Validation: Write comprehensive smoke or integration tests immediately after developing new application features.
3. Establish Test Coverage: Systematically generate boilerplate E2E tests from existing functional specifications to improve overall code coverage.
