The Specs tab shows results for a single test run grouped by spec file or by tag. Use it to find files that are failing or slow, then open the test cases within a spec or tag.
The tab has two sub-views, toggled with the Spec File and Tag buttons at the top of the left panel:
| View | Groups by | Use it to |
|---|
| Spec File (default) | Spec file path | Find failing or slow files |
| Tag | Test-case tags | Assess health of tag subsets like @smoke or @regression |
Spec File View
Spec List
The left panel lists every spec file in the run. Each item shows:
- Spec card: File name, total tests, a status bar (pass/fail/flaky/skipped), and total duration.
- Sort: by Name, Duration, or Status to surface slow or failing files.
- Filter: show only Passed, Failed, Flaky, or Skipped specs.
- Search: type a file name to jump to a spec.
Spec Details
The right panel shows tests for the selected spec. It includes:
- Suite totals at the top, including total time and test count
- A test list with status, duration, and retry or attempt badges
From a test row, open the test detail view to review available evidence, including steps, errors, screenshots, and the trace viewer.
Sort by duration to find long-running specs first.
Tag View
Switch to the Tag view to group tests by their tags instead of by spec file. This view surfaces how each tag category performed in the run.
Tag List
The left panel lists every tag found in the run. Each tag card shows:
| Element | Description |
|---|
| Tag name | The tag label |
| Test count | Total tests with this tag in the run |
| Status bar | Color-coded bar showing pass/fail/flaky/skipped distribution |
| Status breakdown | Counts for failed, passed, and flaky tests |
Search, Sort, and Filter
| Control | Description |
|---|
| Search tags | Type to filter tags by name |
| Sort & Filter | Order by name, test count, or status. Filter to show only tags with specific outcomes. |
Tag Details
Click a tag card to show all tests with that tag in the right panel. Tests are grouped by spec file. Each test row displays the test name, status, and duration. Click any test to open the full detail view.
Tags come from Playwright’s tag metadata on tests or describe blocks. See the Annotations guide for how to add tags to your tests.
