What are Playwright plugins, and how can they extend testing capabilities?
Hi Ana,
Playwright plugins are extensions that enhance the testing capabilities of the Playwright automation framework. Playwright itself is designed for browser automation and provides a unified API for testing web applications across multiple browsers.
Plugins in Playwright serve as modular additions that extend its core functionality. They enable users to customize and add features to meet specific testing requirements. These plugins can be created by the community or individuals, making Playwright highly extensible.
By leveraging plugins, testers can enhance their testing capabilities in various ways. Plugins can introduce additional functionalities such as custom logging, reporting, and integration with other testing tools. They can also provide support for specific browser features, handle authentication mechanisms, or offer utilities for performance testing.
