Playwright & Vitest

Robots that click through your app and check the maths, so you don't have to re-test by hand.

1. Learn it

  • Vitest checks small pieces: given this input, expect that output.
  • Playwright drives a real browser: fill the form, click submit, expect the page to say thanks.
  • One test of the flow that earns you money is worth fifty tests of buttons.
  • Tests are how you change code without holding your breath.

Cost: Free.

2. Practice it

Simulated — nothing real happens

Name the one test

If you could only test one path in a paid AI app, which is it?

3. Connect it

Real — your own account
  1. 1Add Playwright to your project and record one flow.
Open Playwright & Vitest

MessyDev never signs you up, spends your money, or touches your accounts. You do that part.

4. Use it

Once other people rely on the thing not breaking.

Honest alternatives

There is no single correct stack. Any of these would be a reasonable choice instead.

  • Cypress
  • Manual test checklist (honestly, better than nothing)
