From azure
Expert knowledge for Azure App Testing development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when using Azure Load Testing with VNets/private endpoints, JMeter/Locust/Playwright, CI/CD pipelines, or Playwright Workspaces, and other Azure App Testing related development tasks. Not for Azure Test Plans (use azure-test-plans), Playwright Workspaces (use azure-playwright-workspaces), Azure DevOps (use azure-devops), Azure App Service (use azure-app-service).

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure App Testing. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.
Runs Playwright tests at scale on Azure cloud-hosted browsers with integrated portal reporting and Entra ID or managed identity authentication.
Runs Playwright tests at scale on Azure Playwright Workspaces with cloud browsers, CI/CD integration, and Azure portal results reporting.
Detects load test infrastructure (k6, Artillery, Gatling, JMeter), designs scenarios for critical endpoints, executes stress tests, and analyzes results against thresholds. For pre-release validation and scaling.
