Kernel Images Support for Web Automation Testing
Kernel Images provides full support for web automation testing:
Compatible test frameworks
- Playwright: A modern browser automation library developed by Microsoft.
- Puppeteer: A Node library provided by Google for controlling the Chrome/Chromium browser.
Example test flow (using Playwright)
- Installation of Playwright::
npm install playwright - Creating Test Scripts(example test.js):
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP('http://localhost:9222');
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
console.log(await page.title());
await browser.close();
})(); - operational test::
node test.js
Testing Advantages
- segregated environment: Each test runs in a separate sandbox and does not interfere with each other.
- quick start: The unikernel mode has an extremely short cold boot time, which is suitable for frequently running tests.
- visualization and monitoring: The testing process can be observed in real time through the noVNC interface.
- state snapshot: You can save the state of the browser in the test for debugging and problem reproduction.
