使用 Playwright 进行端到端测试探针

What are automated end-to-end tests? Do you need them at all? In this blog post we dive into the ugly behind automated end-to-end testing, what we struggled with at Zalando, what worked well for us and our latest solution with end-to-end test probes.

什么是自动化的端到端测试？您真的需要它们吗？在这篇博文中，我们将深入探讨自动化端到端测试的丑陋之处，我们在Zalando遇到的问题，对我们来说效果如何以及我们最新的端到端测试探针解决方案。

Automated end-to-end tests continue to polarise the industry, with some leaders advocating for them and others rightfully questioning their return on investments and recommending to invest in monitoring and alerting systems instead.

自动化的端到端测试在行业中仍然存在争议，一些领导者支持它们，而其他人则正当地质疑它们的投资回报，并建议投资于监控和警报系统。

By automating these tests, teams can efficiently detect and address issues early, ensure regression testing, and ma...
