A colleague introduced me to Playwright from Microsoft. This is a tool you can use for automating UI testing. 

If you have no idea, what this means, imagine the following:

• You have an approval workflow.
• Person one provides some information and submits it.
• The second one reviews and approves it.
• Afterward, the second person verifies, that the workflow was moved to the ‘Approved’ step.

At the moment you would test this yourself, whenever there's a change or a new WEBCON BPS version. While you probably should do it, most often it will not be done. It takes too long, you would be overlooking stuff, etc. But what would happen, if you could define a UI test, which can then be run in seconds either manually or automated?

This is where Playwright comes in and these are my first steps using it in the context of WEBCON BPS.
