Checkly

🎉 Playwright 1.49 was released last week, including a new assertion -> "toMatchAriaSnapshot". And I'm already a fan! Why would you test ARIA snapshots, though? Similarly to the accessibility-first locators like getByRole(), looking at the accessibility tree gives more reliable results than testing pure HTML or the DOM tree and also unveils HTML/A11y shortcomings in the sites. I just love how often this approach brings UX and accessibility issues to light! If you want to learn more about the new assertion and Playwright's accessibility approach, a new video just found its way to YouTube. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/egfVBHr7

Join our own Hannes Lenke and Mirko Novakovic from Dash0 on Code Red as they explore the future of testing and monitoring automation in a world increasingly shaped by developers and AI. They talk: - Playwright automation - Testing in Production - OpenTelemetry - AI and APM - and plenty more! Listen here: https://lnkd.in/dAtVtAFZ

🎭 And it's time for another Playwright tip! You might know that I'm a big fan of structuring large Playwright code bases with fixtures because they're "just" the native way of adding small utils, sharing helpers or POMs, and configuring a Playwright project overall. Recently, I learned about "automatic fixtures", and in this week's video, I share how they enable global `beforeEach` and `afterEach` test hooks. I must say, it was quite a journey, and we'll cover fixtures, test annotations, and even implement JavaScript exception monitoring. 😅 Have fun! 👇 https://lnkd.in/e2CjbcJZ
