Efficient, reliable visual testing is essential for teams working with Playwright. Applitools’ updated Playwright SDK simplifies integration, reduces setup time, and offers more powerful reporting.
The updated SDK introduces improvements such as test fixtures to minimize repetitive setup code, a CLI for faster initial setup, auto-insertion of Eyes configuration in playwright.config.js/ts, and a custom HTML reporter to include Eyes checkpoint images in the report.
Test fixtures streamline visual testing by automating setup functions, allowing focus on creating test cases without redundant code.
The SDK provides enhanced reporting with a custom HTML reporter that integrates checkpoint images directly into the report, making it easier to analyze test results.
