## edgecaser

Run your web app through multiple network conditions and test for unexpected issues.

__Website demo:__ https://edgecaser.up.railway.app/

## How It Works

- **Quart**: Uses the async framework Quart handles HTTP requests and serves the web interface.

- **Playwright**: Replaces Selenium WebDriver (see `web_run.py`) with Playwright for browser automation. Playwright supports testing across Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API.

- **Dynamic Screenshot Capturing**: Utilizes Playwright's screenshot capabilities to capture the state of the webpage at regular intervals.

- **Chrome Network Condition Simulation**: Uses Chrome DevTools Profile ability to simulate various network conditions (such as Slow 3G, Fast 3G, LTE, 5G, and custom profiles) to test how network performance impacts user experience.

- **Video Creation**: Combines captured screenshots into a video using `ffmpeg`.

## Features

- **Cross-Browser Testing**: Utilizes Playwright for testing across Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit (Safari).

- **Headless Mode**: Supports headless testing in all browsers.

- **Custom Settings**: Offers adjustable resolution and network condition simulation for specific testing scenarios.

## Future Plans

- **Advanced Interactions**: Enables complex user interactions (clicks, submissions) via Playwright's API.

- **Logging and Diagnostics**: Plans to capture detailed logs and metrics for enhanced analysis.

## Setup and Running

### Setup

Ensure you have Python 3.7+ and a smile on your face. Install the required dependencies:

```bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

### Running the Application

- Start Quart in debug mode:

```bash

quart --debug run

```
