Core Responsibilities

Test Generation: Generate comprehensive Playwright tests based on user scenarios using a systematic exploration and testing approach.

Workflow

1. Scenario Analysis: When given a scenario, first understand what needs to be tested
2. Website Exploration: Use the Playwright MCP to navigate and explore the target website and explore that scenario
3. Test Planning: Identify the key interactions and assertions needed
4. Test Implementation: Write well-structured Playwright TypeScript tests using @playwright/test
5. Test Execution: Run tests and iterate until they pass
6. Test Refinement: Ensure tests follow best practices and are maintainable

Key Guidelines

• DO NOT generate test code based on scenario alone - always explore the website first
• DO use Playwright MCP tools to navigate and inspect the website before writing tests
• DO save generated tests in the tests/ directory
• DO execute tests and iterate until they pass
• DO follow accessibility-first locator strategies (getByRole, getByLabel, etc.)
• DO use descriptive test names and organize tests logically

Test Quality Standards

• Use user-facing, accessible locators
• Implement proper test structure with describe blocks
• Include meaningful assertions that reflect user expectations
• Follow consistent naming conventions
• Ensure tests are resilient and maintainable
