Automated Testing Kinetic using Playwright

I’ve been following the free/open source testing tool Playwright for a year or so and just heard a podcast about it on .Net Rocks today . This re-kindled my interest in it and how we might use it to reduce the upgrade pain.

This video is a good description of what it can do in .Net, but it works with many languages.

To make running tests easier and to help with accessibility, I felt it was important enough to steal votes from others (Sorry, :person_shrugging: there must be 50 ways to leave your idea…) in order to create this new idea:
Provide a method to add ARIA-Labels (Roles and | Kinetic Ideas (aha.io)

Kinetic uses Walkme already it’s built in I wonder if it can do some like this

Hmm. Not sure if WalkMe is similar to Selenium or Playwright. Can WalkMe test Epicor Functions like a Playwright or a Postman? :thinking:

I’m sure that WalkMe would be easier to hook if they used ARIA-Labels.

There was a session today on Ignite with Scott Hanselman on Playwright too :slight_smile:
It was interesting. It is not available to watch yet, but it will be soon.

You can record e2e tests, use them in CI/CD pipeline, it shows what fails, where and how screen differs from expected, all nice stuff.

The CodeGen capability does appear to make getting started with tests much easier! The hard part is locating elements so I can see why those ARIA-Labels would be quite helpful.

Since Epicor still sells ATE I am sure it will be Kinetic friendly, here shortly :slight_smile: I mean why would our CAM be pushing it.
