Automate web application testing by writing Python scripts using the Playwright library to interact with web apps. You can execute these scripts locally to handle testing lifecycles, manage server states, and run custom assertions.

Manage local server lifecycles during testing by using helper scripts that start, manage, and clean up web servers. This ensures your test environment is properly controlled before and after running your Playwright automation scripts.

Write custom Python assertions by integrating Python's rich feature set into your Playwright scripts. This allows for precise verification of web application behaviors and states during your local test execution.

Python scripting knowledge is required to use this Playwright testing approach. The testing process relies on executing Python scripts for automation, managing server lifecycles, and writing custom assertions for verifying web application flows.

The best way to test a web app login flow locally is to write a Playwright script that manages the entire testing lifecycle. This includes starting the server, executing the login automation, running assertions, and cleaning up.

Run Playwright automation scripts for local web apps by executing the command `uv run python your_automation.py`. This processes your Python script to perform end-to-end testing and server lifecycle management.
