Test Assist

Introduction: Automated testing has become an integral part of software development processes. It ensures that software is tested thoroughly, and the bugs are caught early, thus reducing the chances of issues arising later.  One crucial aspect of automated testing is testing across multiple browsers, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. That's where Playwright's Parallel Execution comes into play.  In this blog post, we'll explore in-depth how Playwright's Parallel Execution feature can be used to run tests against different browsers in parallel, saving time and resources. What is Playwright: Playwright is an open-source Node.js library for automating web browsers. It is a relatively new library that is gaining popularity because of its simplicity , reliability , and powerful API.  Playwright supports multiple programming languages such as JavaScript , TypeScript , Java , C# and Python , which makes it easy for developers to write automation scripts in th...

  Challenges Of Modern Browser Applications Today’s web applications tend to be extremely rich and responsive. Additionally, developers are mainly building single-page applications that do a lot more in a browser tab than web applications used to do a decade ago. The highly responsive behavior of web app is primarily powered by handling asynchronous events. For example, say you're picking a particular button on a page, and then stuff happens on the page. These web applications are rarely isolated and usually, involve your backend services talking over the network. There are lots o f asynchronous events that are happening inside a web application and being able to automate these things predictably is hard. You may run into cases where a network takes slightly longer and prohibits the UI from being ready for a script to interact with it because it's still loading behind the scenes. Or you might be expecting a new popup window to be released, and you may have to switc...
