Automate web application testing by orchestrating Claude Code Chrome integration for interactive browser sessions or Playwright scripts for headless automation. Navigate to test pages, read page structures, perform actions, and verify results across dynamic web apps and authenticated pages.

Yes, automated browser testing supports authenticated pages and dynamic web apps. Chrome integration provides access to login state, console messages, network access, and GIF recording, while scripts can manage navigation, read page content, and capture console output during test validation.

Web app testing works in CI/CD pipelines through Playwright fallback, which provides headless, script-driven automation for non-GUI environments. This allows automated validation to run without a display, making it suitable for continuous integration and delivery workflows.

Manage local servers during automated web testing using the included server orchestration helper scripts. These scripts start and manage local server lifecycles, ensuring the test environment is properly initialized before interactive Chrome or Playwright test workflows execute against the application.

Claude Code with Chrome enabled is required for interactive testing in a real browser with login state and GIF recording. If unavailable, the Playwright runtime serves as a fallback for headless, script-driven automation, though interactive browser features will not be accessible.

Chrome integration is preferred for interactive web testing because it provides real browser login state, network access, console message reading, and GIF recording. Playwright serves as a CI/CD-ready fallback for headless environments where GUI-based interactive testing is not required.
