We are in a very funny situation where I just spent two weeks fixing FE bugs and there are so many left. I asked to add integration tests but the answer was “no”, cause we can’t test the UI and all of that.

So the proposed solution was to be more careful, except I’m careful but testing whole website parts or the whole website is not feasible. What can I do?

    Yeah I don’t think unit testing would be useful. I don’t think though that integration tests etc are useless though, more so now that it is possible to test the UI states too. I didn’t know playwright to be fair, I read it “automatically” generates tests? Maybe I did misunderstand

      It doesn’t generate them, you still have to write them. Ignore the marketing, look at the actual docs, same as any other framework.

      There’s a few other frameworks, I just prefer playwright because I’m used to it.

      There’s a VS Code extension that records the steps you took and creates the test for you. But more often than not, you would have to make some changes too.
