How to Speed up your Playwright Tests with shared "storageState"

Join Stefan Judis, Playwright Ambassador, as he shows you how to speed up your Playwright test suite execution time for apps behind a login. Usually, login-walled products require you to log in for every test case. However, by implementing project dependencies, setting up a project, and pairing everything with the storage state, you can log into your app once and then reuse the browser and storage state. This setup equips your subsequent tests with essential cookies and browser state, saving time and effort by avoiding repetitive login actions.
