Web Testing Skill

Comprehensive web testing: unit, integration, E2E, load, security, visual regression, accessibility.

Quick Start

npx vitest run                    # Unit tests
npx playwright test               # E2E tests
npx playwright test --ui          # E2E with UI
k6 run load-test.js               # Load tests
npx @axe-core/cli https://example.com  # Accessibility
npx lighthouse https://example.com     # Performance

Scripts

Initialize Playwright Project

node ./scripts/init-playwright.js [--ct] [--dir <path>]

Creates best-practice Playwright setup: config, fixtures, example tests.

Analyze Test Results

node ./scripts/analyze-test-results.js \
  --playwright test-results/results.json \
  --vitest coverage/vitest.json \
  --output markdown

Parses Playwright/Vitest/JUnit results into unified summary.

CI/CD Integration

jobs:
  test:
    steps:
      - run: npm run test:unit      # Gate 1: Fast fail
      - run: npm run test:e2e       # Gate 2: After unit pass
      - run: npm run test:a11y      # Accessibility
      - run: npx lhci autorun       # Performance

Gotchas

Playwright page.waitForLoadState('networkidle') flakes on apps with long-poll — switch to explicit element-visible waits.
Vitest in --watch mode caches modules aggressively — clear cache between test runs that mutate file system.
k6 default thresholds suppress real failures — explicit http_req_failed{rate:<0.01} thresholds, never accept defaults.
