Hands-On Automated Testing with Playwright
By :
In this chapter, we built on what we already knew about testing across different browsers and saw just how easy Playwright makes it to emulate mobile devices. You learned how to set up these emulations, whether you’re coding them directly or using a config file, and even how to tweak settings for a specific device.
We also got into simulating real-world situations, such as faking slow internet, pretending to be in a different location, and even flipping your phone around. Plus, we covered how important it is to handle mobile gestures such as taps so your tests really act like a human user.
When things went wrong (because they always do), we checked out Playwright’s great debugging tools, such as the Trace Viewer and the Inspector, and how page.pause() can be a lifesaver for quick checks. Finally, we looked at common mobile headaches, such as weird touch events, slow performance, screen layout issues, and annoying pop-ups, with some practical fixes.
