🧪 Comprehensive Playwright Testing Suite for Sky Drop

[alanops]

Summary

Implement a complete end-to-end testing framework for Sky Drop using Playwright, providing automated validation across browsers, devices, and performance metrics.

🧪 Testing Framework Implementation

5 Core Test Suites

1. Game Launch & Navigation (game-launch.test.js)

   • Game loading and initialization validation
   • Canvas rendering and responsiveness testing
   • Input handling and aspect ratio verification

2. Gameplay Mechanics (gameplay-mechanics.test.js)

   • Player movement controls (arrows, WASD)
   • Parachute deployment system testing
   • Game reset functionality validation
   • Extended gameplay session testing

3. Performance Testing (performance.test.js)

   • Load time validation (<20 seconds)
   • Memory usage monitoring (<50MB growth)
   • Frame rate measurement (30+ FPS target)
   • Browser optimization validation

4. Visual Regression (visual-regression.test.js)

   • Screenshot comparison testing
   • Multi-layer parallax system validation
   • Cross-viewport visual consistency
   • Interactive state verification

5. Cross-Browser Compatibility (cross-browser.test.js)

   • Chromium, Firefox, WebKit support
   • WebGL capability verification
   • Mobile touch event handling
   • Input method consistency testing

⚙️ CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions Workflow

# Automated testing on push, PR, and daily schedule
- Multi-browser test matrix (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit)
- Mobile device testing (Chrome Mobile, Safari Mobile)
- Performance benchmarking with thresholds
- Visual regression with screenshot artifacts
- Test report generation and artifact storage

Test Execution Strategy

• Desktop Browsers: Full compatibility matrix
• Mobile Testing: Touch interaction validation
• Performance Monitoring: FPS and memory tracking
• Visual Validation: Screenshot comparison with variance thresholds
