Elitea Playwright Automation

End-to-end UI and API test automation for Elitea, built with Playwright.

Overview

This repository hosts the Playwright-based test automation suite for Elitea. It turns manual test cases into maintainable, honest automated tests — reliable in CI and clear about what they verify.

Tech stack

• Playwright — browser automation and test runner
• Node.js — runtime
• Playwright MCP — configured in .mcp.json for agent-assisted authoring and debugging

• Branch from main using feat/, fix/, chore/, or docs/ prefixes.
• Keep tests independent and deterministic — no reliance on execution order or shared state.
• Never mask product defects with skipped or weakened assertions; file a ticket instead.
