How to Generate Playwright Tests using MCP + Copilot

- Learn how to generate end-to-end tests with Playwright MCP—even when you don’t have access to the source code! In this step-by-step demo, we use GitHub Copilot in agent mode alongside the Playwright MCP server to:

✅ Navigate a real website
✅ Interact with UI elements via page snapshots
✅ Generate and run a Playwright test file
✅ Validate the test—all without having the source code!

This is a powerful workflow for black-box testing, AI-driven automation, and rapid test generation using natural language.
