Hands-On Automated Testing with Playwright
By :
By now, you’ve seen how headless mode can speed things up, which is great when you’re running a lot of tests or working in a CI pipeline. But when you need to see what’s going on visually, headful mode has your back. Playwright makes it easy to switch between headless and headful modes, which gives you flexibility depending on whether you’re optimizing for speed or investigating test behavior.
