Testing modern web apps with Playwright and VS Code

VS Code Livestreams

Playwright is a framework for building end-to-end tests for modern web applications. It can help us create tests that are resilient and run on any browser and platform–and it now comes with a new VS Code extension! In this livestream, we'll scaffold a new project from scratch and create some tests for real web pages.
