Playwright Test

The @playwright/test library is a part of the Playwright ecosystem specifically designed for end-to-end testing. It's a zero-configuration tool providing an efficient, straightforward way to write and run browser-based tests in Node.js. It allows you to take advantage of the Playwright API's automation capabilities in a testing context, including capabilities such as simulating user interactions, working with network requests, and emulating different devices or geolocations. In addition, @playwright/test supports parallel test execution, various assertion styles, and snapshots for more efficient and effective testing. Its tight integration with Playwright's browser automation features makes it a powerful tool for verifying the correctness of web applications across multiple browsers.
