Traffic-Driven Testing: All the Benefits of Shift-Right Testing with None of the Risk

The shift-right testing approach moves testing to later in your production cycle. Also known as "testing in production," with shift-right, you test software after it has been deployed. It gives you continuous feedback based on real-world user interactions. However, there are major drawbacks to the approach. For example, testing in production risks disrupting your user satisfaction and can mean you catch issues too late to respond to them effectively. It can also be difficult to test problems related to scale and traffic volume. Your tests are also difficult to repeat under the same conditions.

How to Speed up your Playwright Tests with shared "storageState"

Join Stefan Judis, Playwright Ambassador, as he shows you how to speed up your Playwright test suite execution time for apps behind a login. Usually, login-walled products require you to log in for every test case. However, by implementing project dependencies, setting up a project, and pairing everything with the storage state, you can log into your app once and then reuse the browser and storage state. This setup equips your subsequent tests with essential cookies and browser state, saving time and effort by avoiding repetitive login actions.

How to Speed up your Playwright Tests with shared "storageState"

What are the two things making your end-to-end test investment a failure? Firstly, it's test flakiness. If you've invested days (if not months) in creating your test suite and it didn't turn out to be like this one trustworthy friend you have in your life for decades, you failed. You failed because eventually, you'll discover that every moment waiting for retrying tests became a burden.

I had one of those and looked the other way for a couple of weeks. However, some issues become personal after a while.
