SKILL

Web Application Testing

To test local web applications, write native Python Playwright scripts.

Decision Tree

User task → Is it static HTML?
    ├─ Yes → Read HTML file directly
    └─ No (dynamic webapp) → Is the server already running?
        ├─ No → Use with_server.py helper
        └─ Yes → Reconnaissance-then-action

Best Practices

• Use sync_playwright() for synchronous scripts
• Always close the browser when done
• Use descriptive selectors: text=, role=, CSS selectors, or IDs
• Wait for page.wait_for_load_state('networkidle') before inspection on dynamic apps
