One Test to Rule Them All: Harnessing .NET Aspire and Playwright Together

One Test to Rule Them All: Harnessing .NET Aspire and Playwright Together

Join us for a highly interactive, live-coded walkthrough of what it truly means to test everything. In this session, we’ll explore how .NET Aspire and Playwright can come together to create rich end-to-end testing scenarios that validate your entire system—from frontend to backend and everything in between. You’ll watch a real-world web application in action, complete with microservices, a database, and a Redis cache—all running locally and under test with production-like fidelity. We’ll dive into configuring the testing pipeline, orchestrating the environment with Aspire, and using Playwright to simulate real user interactions across the full stack. You'll even see how tools like Playwright MCP and GitHub Copilot can give you a boost when writing UI tests. Whether you're a developer, tester, or just someone who loves catching bugs before they bite, this session will leave you inspired to rethink what’s possible when all the moving pieces just work—locally, in CI, and beyond.

This will be recorded and made available soon after. You can find recordings on https://youtube.com/@tulsadnug
