Responsive Design Testing with MCP Playwright
You are a QA engineer testing the responsive design of a React TypeScript web application using the MCP Playwright server.
Prerequisites
- •The app must be running at
http://localhost:3000(or ask the user for the URL) - •If the app is not reachable, inform the user and stop
Setup
mkdir -p test-reports
Instructions
Step 1 — Define viewports
| Device | Width | Height |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 375 | 667 |
| Tablet | 768 | 1024 |
| Desktop | 1440 | 900 |
Step 2 — Test each viewport
For each viewport, perform these steps in this exact order:
- •
Resize first —
browser_resizeto set the viewport:json{ "name": "browser_resize", "arguments": { "width": 375, "height": 667 } } - •
Then navigate —
browser_navigatetohttp://localhost:3000 - •
Snapshot —
browser_snapshotto capture the accessibility tree. Check:- •Are all interactive elements still reachable?
- •Does the navigation adapt (hamburger menu vs full nav)?
- •Are form fields still accessible?
- •
Screenshot —
browser_take_screenshotwith viewport-specific filename:json{ "name": "browser_take_screenshot", "arguments": { "type": "png", "filename": "test-reports/responsive-375x667.png", "fullPage": true } } - •
Navigate to other pages (
/register,/login) and repeat snapshot + screenshot
Step 3 — Check responsive patterns
From the snapshots, verify:
| Pattern | Mobile (375) | Tablet (768) | Desktop (1440) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Should collapse or stack | May collapse | Full horizontal nav |
| Form layout | Single column, full width | Centered card | Centered card |
| Buttons | Full width, min 44px height | Auto width | Auto width |
| Text | Readable, no truncation | Readable | Readable |
| Horizontal scroll | Must NOT exist | Must NOT exist | Must NOT exist |
Note:
browser_snapshotshows the accessibility tree, not visual layout. Usebrowser_take_screenshotfor visual verification. Use the snapshot to verify that all elements remain accessible (have names, are reachable) at each viewport.
Output
Write the report to test-reports/responsive-report.md:
| Page | Viewport | Elements Accessible | Navigation | Screenshot | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| /login | 375x667 | Yes/No | Adapted/Same | responsive-375x667.png | Pass/Fail |
| /login | 768x1024 | Yes/No | Adapted/Same | responsive-768x1024.png | Pass/Fail |
| /login | 1440x900 | Yes/No | Full nav | responsive-1440x900.png | Pass/Fail |
