Evaluate Observer

• Why Observer? - Understand test observability and how it differs from end-of-run reporting.
• Live Demo - Explore sample runs and test details in the hosted Observer UI.
• Design Partners - Check the project’s stage and how to evaluate Observer with the maintainer.
• Architecture - See how events move through Observer and where run data is stored.

Start Using Observer

• Getting Started - Run Observer locally and send your first Playwright events.
• Installation - Choose AIO, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes/Helm deployment.
• Playwright Reporter - Install and configure the current npm reporter.

Operate Observer

• Deployment and configuration - Review deployment modes, service settings, and verification steps.
• Architecture - Review PostgreSQL, MongoDB, NATS, API, and WebSocket responsibilities.

Extend Observer

• Roadmap - Check the status of additional reporters and planned capabilities.

Playwright is the available reporter integration. Pytest and Mocha reporter work is in progress; other frameworks and MCP are not presented as currently supported interfaces.
