Research Playwright MCP

[jburns24]

Research the Playwright MCP

• Understand how it can be used in functional testing development
• Create a spec driven agentic workflow that leverages the Playwright MCP to author and run functional testing.
• Create a new section in the bootcamp 6.5.8 Spec Driven Functional Testing
  • This section should introduce this MCP server to participants
  • Instruct them to install it (default to VSCode)
  • Explain the tools this server makes available
  • Create an exercise or two in which users leverage a spec driven development workflow with a coding agent equipped with Playwrights MCP to author and run tests agentically. Goal of this is to have developers create a spec file that can drive all development (maybe we leverage Gherkin syntax here to focus on behavior and intent)
