# Web Application Testing

This skill enables comprehensive testing and debugging of local web applications using Playwright automation.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:
- Test frontend functionality in a real browser
- Verify UI behavior and interactions
- Debug web application issues
- Capture screenshots for documentation or debugging
- Inspect browser console logs
- Validate form submissions and user flows
- Check responsive design across viewports

## Prerequisites

- Node.js installed on the system
- A locally running web application (or accessible URL)
- Playwright will be installed automatically if not present

## Core Capabilities

### 1. Browser Automation
- Navigate to URLs
- Click buttons and links
- Fill form fields
- Select dropdowns
- Handle dialogs and alerts

### 2. Verification
- Assert element presence
- Verify text content
- Check element visibility
- Validate URLs
- Test responsive behavior

### 3. Debugging
- Capture screenshots
- View console logs
- Inspect network requests
- Debug failed tests

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Basic Navigation Test
```javascript
// Navigate to a page and verify title
await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');
const title = await page.title();
console.log('Page title:', title);
```

### Example 2: Form Interaction
```javascript
// Fill out and submit a form
await page.fill('#username', 'testuser');
await page.fill('#password', 'password123');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard');
```

### Example 3: Screenshot Capture
```javascript
// Capture a screenshot for debugging
await page.screenshot({ path: 'debug.png', fullPage: true });
```

## Guidelines

1. **Always verify the app is running** - Check that the local server is accessible before running tests
2. **Use explicit waits** - Wait for elements or navigation to complete before interacting
3. **Capture screenshots on failure** - Take screenshots to help debug issues
4. **Clean up resourc
