Join Nočnica Mellifera for the Checkly Kick-start. You'll learn: How to get started and write your first page monitors — Anyone can monitor their site with Checkly, and you'll get a demonstration on getting started. Best Practices for monitoring — From monitoring as code workflows to alert configurations based on your SLA, learn how experienced professionals use synthetic monitoring. Advanced skills for automation — Ever wanted to check your site by comparing screenshots? Or create checks that simulate network slowdown? Learn how to simulate complex scenarios with Checkly and Playwright.

In this video, we dive into Playwright's "page.goto()" and understand why it could be slowing down your end-to-end tests. We start with an example script and then walk you through the Playwright UI mode to understand how resource loading can delay the "page.goto()" call. We also look into the different "waitUntil" configurations and check how they affect the speed of your tests. Enjoy, and drop any questions or comments below!

When adopting Playwright, it can be tough to know if you're following the right design principles for a process that will work at scale. For those Cypress users, check out Cypress at Scale. Join Jonathan and Filip as we explore how mature organizations and effective teams adopt Playwright. We'll cover what we've seen in the wild and key considerations. — Fundamentals & principles: You'll understand what Playwright is and its design principles.

In this video, I'll show you how to only check certain parts of a page with a Playwright screenshot test, also known as a visual regression test.

Discover how to improve your end-to-end monitoring alerts with Checkly's new feature: degraded browser check runs. In this video, you'll learn how to extend your Playwright tests to mark test runs as "degraded" under certain conditions. Marking checks as degraded gives you more control over critical alerts and you'll gain more insights into your monitoring results.

This video covers how to use Checkly's browser checks to monitor your entire infrastructure with headless Chrome. We'll explain how Microsoft's end-to-end testing framework Playwright powers Checkly's browser checks, use code generation and set up a new browser check from scratch.

This video covers how to use Checkly's API checks and active synthetic monitoring to streamline your API monitoring process and detect issues faster. We'll set up a new API check to monitor one of Checkly's API endpoints and go step-by-step from configuring the API request to defining essential headers, monitoring details and retry strategies.

This webinar introduces an approach to visual regression monitoring, utilizing Playwright and Checkly. Playwright, an open-source end-to-end testing framework supported by Microsoft, enables you to simulate complex paths through your site. Checkly, which uses playwright to create synthetic service monitors, enables the execution of visual regression tests at regular intervals. This combination alerts developers to potential interface problems before they become visible to users.

Locating elements in your end-to-end tests can sometimes be a challenge. In this video, we tackle the problem of hard-to-locate elements by chaining multiple locators using `locator().and()`. By chaining locators you'll be able to combine user-first locators with specific locators reaching for a test id or CSS class.

In today's video, we explore a lesser-known feature of Microsoft's Playwright - API Testing. We'll illustrate how to use Playwright for testing GraphQL as an example of an HTTP-based API; RESTful APIs can be tested too. We'll explain the usage of the 'request' fixture with Playwright, parse responses and validate their correctness. Moreover, we'll delve into executing multiple API requests in a single Playwright test case while testing their responses.
