Chat widgets are great for customer support, but they can wreak havoc on your automated tests. These floating elements often interfere with Playwright tests by covering clickable buttons, triggering unexpected popups, or causing element selection issues. If you've ever had a test fail because a chat widget appeared at the wrong moment, you're not alone. This guide shows you exactly how to block popular chat widgets like Drift, Intercom, Zendesk, and others during your Playwright test runs.

Especially when AI is writing more and more of your code Let’s be honest: developers don’t test enough. You see it every week — a feature is merged, staging breaks, and the bug was something obvious: a missing dependency, an incorrect flag, a minor logic error that could’ve been caught earlier. With AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf writing code faster than ever, this problem is only growing. The code output is higher — but the validation often isn’t.

…and why it matters even more in the age of AI-generated code Software development is changing fast. Thanks to tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf, developers can now generate large chunks of code in seconds. Product velocity is exploding. Startups are shipping faster than ever before. But there’s a catch: More code ≠ better code.
