- Implemented functionality tests covering page navigation, header behavior, form handling, and error management. - Created mobile-responsive tests to ensure touch interactions, viewport adaptability, and safe area respect. - Developed visual regression tests for home page layout, typography, color consistency, and interactive elements. - Added a test runner script for easier execution of E2E tests with various options.

🎉 Comprehensive Playwright Test Suite - COMPLETE
What Was Created
I've built a production-ready, thoroughly comprehensive Playwright E2E test suite for the Snippet Pastebin application that will reliably detect styling and functionality defects.
