Improve your Playwright test’s readability with steps
AI Summary
This video provides a Playwright tip about enhancing test case documentation using Playwright’s test steps feature. The presenter demonstrates a test for a documentation contribution flow where a user navigates to docs and ends up on GitHub to fix typos or edit pages. By default, the Playwright test report shows a lot of detailed steps that can be hard to interpret at a glance. The presenter shows how to use the test.step function to group related actions logically and add descriptive comments, making the report clearer and easier to understand. Grouping steps helps highlight the purpose of each phase of the test and makes it easier to identify where failures occur in the test flow. This technique improves readability of test reports and enhances debugging efficiency when an assertion fails. The presenter encourages using this feature for better test documentation and plans to share more tips next week.
