Where are the generated test scripts stored?

To keep your project directory clean, the skill is configured to write temporary test scripts to the system's /tmp directory rather than your local workspace.

Does it support mobile device emulation?

Yes, the skill can configure specific viewport sizes and user agents to simulate various mobile devices and validate responsive design layouts.

How does this skill handle local development servers?

It includes a built-in helper that automatically detects running dev servers and allows you to select the correct URL for testing, ensuring your tests always target the right environment.

Can I see the browser while the tests are running?

Yes, by default, the skill launches browsers in 'headed' mode (headless: false) so you can visually inspect the automation steps as they happen.

Can I mock API responses for isolated testing?

Absolutely, the skill includes established patterns for network mocking, allowing you to simulate backend responses and test frontend error handling without hitting real APIs.
