# PWA Testing (via LambdaTest)

## **Progressive Web App (PWA) Testing in QApilot**

QApilot now supports automated testing for **Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)**, enabling teams to validate web-based mobile experiences with the same intelligence and automation capabilities used for native apps. With PWA support, you can record, execute, and analyze tests for browser-delivered applications that behave like installable mobile apps.

***

### **Overview**

PWAs combine the reach of the web with the usability of mobile apps. QApilot brings autonomous and script-less testing to PWAs by allowing users to:

* Launch PWAs directly on real mobile devices
* Record test flows through the built-in recorder
* Run tests across Android and iOS browsers
* Validate UI elements, navigation flows, and functional behavior
* Execute tests in parallel across multiple devices
* Capture screenshots, logs, and visual states just like a native app run

This ensures seamless end-to-end testing for PWA workflows such as onboarding, authentication, browsing, search, forms, and checkout.

### **Key Capabilities**

#### **1. Record & Playback for PWAs**

Record user interactions on a mobile browser exactly as you would for a native app. QApilot captures taps, inputs, scrolls, validations, and dynamic elements.

#### **2. Autonomous Crawler Support**

QApilot’s crawler can explore PWA screens, generate actionable test paths, and map the app structure — helping teams discover flows and achieve meaningful coverage.

#### **3. Element Interaction & Validation**

Perform all standard actions:

* Tap / click
* Enter text
* Clear text
* Wait for element
* Visual validations
* Image or text assertions

#### **4. Cross-Browser, Cross-Device Execution**

Run the same test across:

* Android Chrome
* iOS Safari
* Multiple device sizes and OS combinations

This makes PWA regression testing scalable and consistent.

#### **5. Detailed Execution Reports**

Every PWA test run includes:

* Step-by-step logs
* Screenshots
* Recorder vs Execution comparisons
* Visual validations
* Deep-link or URL-based navigation tracking

***

### **How to Use PWA Testing in QApilot**

#### **Step 1: Add a PWA Test Source**

When creating a project or test plan:

* Select **PWA / Browser App** as the application type
* Provide the PWA’s URL

#### **Step 2: Record Your Test**

Launch the PWA on a real device and record interactions just like a native mobile app.

#### **Step 3: Configure Execution**

Choose:

* Browsers (Chrome / Safari)
* Devices
* Parallel execution settings

#### **Step 4: View Results**

Analyze results through QApilot’s execution reports and video splits.

***

### **Use Cases**

* Testing authentication flows in PWAs
* Validating dynamic forms and in-browser transactions
* Verifying offline or low-network behaviours
* Ensuring consistent UI across mobile browser environments
* Testing PWA deep links or URL-based navigation

***

### **Benefits**

* No additional setup or browser drivers required
* Same workflow for native apps and PWAs
* Increased test coverage for modern mobile web experiences
* Faster feedback with autonomous navigation and AI-driven stability
