QuickGrid is designed for common data grid scenarios and shows how to build data grid… Continue reading Blazor QuickGrid with WebAssembly and API backend – complete example, Part 1
Playwright for integration (end-to-end) testing of a Blazor WASM and ASP.NET API application
Introduction This post is a follow up to my previous post on How to use Playwright with multiple browsers in headless or headless mode. It covers how to use Playwright to test a solution containing two separate projects – a Blazor WASM project, and an ASP.NET Web API project. I will demonstrate how to create a… Continue reading Playwright for integration (end-to-end) testing of a Blazor WASM and ASP.NET API application
How to use Playwright with multiple browsers in headless or headless mode
Playwright is a testing tool developed by Microsoft that provides reliable end-to-end cross-browsing testing for modern web applications. At the time of writing, it can be used to automate Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. It is a similar tool to Selenium, but aims to be more reliable, resulting in less flaky tests. Playwright is also less… Continue reading How to use Playwright with multiple browsers in headless or headless mode
