Playwright Testing With CI/CD

TestMu AI integrates with a variety of CI/CD solutions to help you speed up your go-to-market launch by automating your delivery pipeline. Similarly, you can run Playwright tests in CI/CD across 40+ browsers in the cloud, reducing lead time by multiple folds and shipping quality builds faster.

Running Playwright tests through CI/CD pipeline involves three stages:

Build: It consists of developing an web app (or code) and hosting it on a staging environment for testing.
Test: It entails running Playwright tests on the TestMu AI platform.
Deploy: Based on your CI/CD configuration, the deploy stage may or may not present.

Running Playwright Tests Via CI/CD

TestMu AI offers integration with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Bamboo, AWS CodePipeline, and more. In order to run Playwright tests in CI/CD, you need to perform few steps in the Test stage of your CI/CD pipeline.

Ensure the website (or code) is hosted on staging environment.
Import test data in existing databases in order to initiate the tests.
If the website under test in hosted on local server, then you will need to configure the TestMu AI tunnel by setting tunnel capability to true for running local tests via CI/CD on the TestMu AI. However, if the staging website is publicly accessible then this step is not required.
Ensure your Playwright test scripts uses chromium.connect method to connect to the CDP endpoint at TestMu AI. Additional parameters for assigning a specific browser and OS combination to your TestMu AI test are contained in the capabilities variable.

Installing Playwright Agent Skill

Install a Playwright Agent Skill using the command below:

# Clone the repo and copy the skill you need
git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/agent-skills.git
cp -r agent-skills/playwright-skill .claude/skills/

# Or for Cursor / Copilot
cp -r agent-skills/playwright-skill .cursor/skills/
