How to test and monitor your APIs with Playwright

Aug 26, 2024 By Nočnica Mellifera In Checkly

But did you know that you can also use Playwright for API testing? If you didn’t, then this guide is for you. In this post, we’ll explore how Playwright can be used to test a GraphQL API (but don’t worry if you’re using REST; Playwright can handle any HTTP-based API).

How to apply Playwright test steps with TypeScript decorators

Aug 24, 2024 By Stefan Judis In Checkly
You can write Playwright end-to-end testing code using JavaScript or TypeScript. Which one should you choose? When I started writing my first automated browser tests, I went with JavaScript because I couldn't be bothered with the type wrangling. I just wanted to get something off the ground quickly. YOLO, right? Today, though, there are two reasons why I last wrote a JavaScript-first Playwright test a very long time ago.

From Basic Monitoring to Modern Observability: Shifting Right and Observability as Code

Aug 16, 2024 By Alberto Gomez In Checkly
I've been in the observability market long before it even had that name. Over the years, observability has undergone a significant transformation. As someone who has witnessed these changes firsthand, I can attest to the dynamic nature of this field. In the early days, it was largely about basic monitoring: tracking system metrics, lots of logs, and simple alerts.

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

Aug 8, 2024 By Checkly In Checkly
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.

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

Aug 7, 2024 By Stefan Judis In Checkly
What are the two things making your end-to-end test investment a failure? Firstly, it's test flakiness. If you've invested days (if not months) in creating your test suite and it didn't turn out to be like this one trustworthy friend you have in your life for decades, you failed. You failed because eventually, you'll discover that every moment waiting for retrying tests became a burden.
