Session
This session covers how Playwright can be used in Drupal development, providing end-to-end (E2E) and visual regression testing (VRT). I'll show how Playwright complements other Drupal testing frameworks, the concrete tricks (running Playwright tests in all possible ways, storing sessions, executing drush commands, ATK as a head start), and where AI sensibly fits in (and where it doesn't). I bring a set of demos; you pick what you want to see. Aimed at Drupal developers and testers exploring testing tools for Drupal, or weighing a switch from Behat / Cypress / BackstopJS.
