On-Demand Webinar: End-to-end testing with Ephemeral Preview Environments

We recently hosted a webinar where we demonstrated how to run end-to-end tests with Playwright using Ephemeral Preview Environments on Coherence. 

Here is a recording if you’d like to watch

‍

A summary of what we covered:

What Are Ephemeral Preview Environments in Coherence?

Dedicated staging environments that are automatically spun up and spun down with every PR. In Coherence, Preview Environments are full-stack, meaning they can have a backend and a database. They support database seeding and snapshot loading and support all dependencies.

What are the Benefits of Ephemeral Preview Environments?

• Remove staging bottlenecks
• Always run the code you are reviewing 
• Minimize Prod Incidents
• Enhance Collaboration w/ your team 
• They ultimately lead to increased quality of code and acceleration of development velocity

What makes Ephemeral Previews in Coherence unique?

• In your own cloud account, production-like
• Secrets managed using your cloud secrets manager with seamless DX
• Managed Build, Deploy, Testing, Integration Testing Pipelines
• Enable easy to do end-to-end integration testing for branches

What we demonstrated:

• followed https://nextjs.org/learn-pages-router/basics/create-nextjs-app 
• to create https://github.com/zach-withcoherence/e2e-testing-1
• We set up the app on Coherence
• Used our GPT-powered AI feature to generate our config during onboarding
• Examples of different frameworks in our docs here https://docs.withcoherence.com/docs/configuration/frameworks
• We then followed https://playwright.dev/docs/intro to add an e2e app
• We could have also used any other testing solution like Cypress, Selenium WebDriver or Replay among others
• Examples of all the configs and info on how it works can be found in our docs here https://docs.withcoherence.com/docs/how-to/run-integration-tests 

Thanks for checking our our webinar recap. We hope to see you at our next live webinar! Give Ephemeral Preview Environments a spin on Coherence and let us know what you think. We're happy to help you get set up.
