Spike Playwright - Test Reporter API
- Vinay Christopher
Playwright is very versatile with report generation. It can be categorized in three ways:
In-built Reports and Third-Party Support:
Playwright offers built-in report generation features, including HTML and JSON reports, which provide insights into test results and performance. It also supports third-party reporters like Allure and Jest, which can be integrated to customize the reporting format and functionality.
Custom Report API of Playwright:
Playwright provides a Custom Report API that allows you to create tailored reports by hooking into test events. This API lets you capture detailed information about test execution, steps, and results, enabling you to design reports that meet specific needs or organizational standards.
For maximum flexibility, you can develop a completely custom reporting solution by directly interfacing with Playwright's test results and events. This approach involves writing your own code to collect, format, and display test data according to your unique requirements, giving you full control over the reporting process.
