In the recent release we added support for interesting concepts - Annotations, Test Owners and Inline Playwright Steps 📝 Test Annotations Playwright Test Annotations allows augmenting test results with additional metadata, for example: a Jira ticket number or Test Rail tracking id. Starting from version Currents/playwright@1.5.0 , Currents will store test annotations for the recorded tests, the annotations will show up in the dashboard. -- 🥋 Test owners Some test annotations have a special purpose, for example: testInfo.annotations.push({ "type": "owner", "description": "johnSmith" }) Using "type:owner" has a special meaning in the dashboard - it will designate… a test owner. Test owner can be a person or a team. -- 👟 Inline Steps View One of the unique features of Currents reporter for Playwright is how we upload the results. Instead of waiting for the whole test or a spec file to complete, we stream step-level information. That allows to capture very detailed information - even if playwright or CI machine crashes, we still send and present the last reported step. The recent release exposes step-level information within test details view for more convenient and effective troubleshooting. For example, one of our clients uses test steps as a “documentation” - they give steps descriptive names, so team members can quickly understand what’s happening in a test just by glancing at the reported steps. https://lnkd.in/gCZMvgkp #playwright #e2e #testautomation

How can I run E2E tests on Spot Instances? - ✅ Spot Instances can reduce CI costs by up to 90% - ❌ Spot Instances can be terminated at any time, which can cause the loss of the test results Currents Orchestration for Playwright automatically reassigns the tests from to-be-terminated spot instances to another CI machine. ✅ no need to rerun the whole test suite ✅ no loss of tests results ✅ enjoy the reduced cost of spot instances ✅ can be used for other scenarios - e.g. move tests to a different machine based on any event / condition.
