Most testing tutorials ignore e-learning completely. Here's how to build a Playwright test suite that validates your SCORM packages actually work across LMS platforms.
Why E-Learning Testing Is Different
If you've ever published a SCORM package to an LMS and watched it silently fail — no completion recorded, quiz scores vanishing, navigation broken — you know the pain. E-learning content doesn't behave like a typical web app. It runs inside an LMS-provided iframe, communicates through a JavaScript API (the SCORM Runtime), and its behavior changes depending on which LMS hosts it.
Manual QA across even 3-4 LMS platforms is slow and error-prone. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through setting up Playwright to automate SCORM package testing — from basic content loading to verifying API calls and completion status.
