Manual Testing with Playwright MCP – No Code, Just Prompts!
What You'll Discover
In this live demonstration, I show you how to: Navigate to websites automatically using simple natural language prompts, Locate and interact with page elements without writing a single line of code, Test podcast filtering functionality on a real website (my personal site), Generate detailed test reports based on what the AI observes, Create comprehensive test plans in plain English, Execute test plans automatically to verify functionality.
The Magic Behind the Scenes
The entire process happens through VS Code but with no access to source code. Just a prompt file and agent mode using the Playwright MCP server. Here's what makes this approach so powerful:
No Code Required
Pure natural language instructions, just prompt files and chat interactions, perfect for manual testers without coding experience.
Intelligent Test Reporting
The AI automatically generates detailed reports including: test execution steps, results and observations, episode counts and filter validation, performance insights, SEO-friendly URL structure analysis, accessibility considerations.
Smart Recommendations
It doesn't just test – it provides actionable suggestions: visual enhancement ideas (filter highlighting), feature improvements (combining multiple filters), UX enhancements (episode count previews on hover).
Beyond Basic Testing
What makes this approach revolutionary is the comprehensive test planning capability. The AI can: create detailed test cases with expected outcomes, generate test plans covering multiple scenarios, include accessibility testing (keyboard navigation), consider mobile responsiveness, design edge case and error handling tests.
The Future of Manual Testing?
This demonstration raises fascinating questions: Could this be a useful workflow for manual testers? Is this a helpful way to bridge the gap between manual and automated testing? Can AI-powered testing save time while improving quality?
