MoT have just published an article called Simple Playwright authentication recipes: A cookbook for software testers.
In it, I share four different authentication strategies you can use with Playwright—such as reusing login states, working with multiple users, and using API-based login to speed things up. Each recipe includes examples and tips to help you decide what fits your framework best.
What you’ll learn:
- The significance of re-using storage states to avoid multiple logins
- How authentication strategies can help the scalability of the automation framework
- Different authentication recipes recommended by Playwright
- How to choose authentication strategies based on real time use cases
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
- Have you used a global authentication strategy in your Playwright framework? If so, what made you choose that approach? Share your experience!
- What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced with authentication when running tests in parallel?
Let’s swap ideas and help each other level up our automation!
