Headless Browser Testing: Guide To ‘What,’ ‘Why,’ and ‘How’

OVERVIEW

Web developers rely on popular browsers to ensure their web applications work seamlessly for users. Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, and Brave are among the most popular choices among the testers and QAs. These modern browsers come with resource-intensive graphical user interfaces (GUIs), so “Headless Browser” comes to the rescue.

A Headless Browser is a browser that executes a script without a GUI. In contrast to a real browser, a headless browser's user interface communicates with websites programmatically rather than presenting the content in a visible window. Testers and developers can automate tasks like website monitoring, web scraping, and automation testing that don't require a GUI.

The objective of this blog is to explore the significance of headless browsers, performing automation tests on well-known frameworks, their advantages and disadvantages, and best practices for efficient headless browser testing.

What is a Headless Browser?

A headless browser is a browser without a graphical user interface(GUI), also known as “head”. Headless browsers are accessible via a command-line interface or using network connectivity. It offers automated control of a web page in an interface similar to that of common web browsers like Chrome. It is essential for web testing because it can accurately render and parse HTML, including layout, colors, fonts, and dynamic features like JavaScript and Ajax. Some popular headless browser options are PhantomJS, Headless Chrome, and Firefox in headless mode.

Importance of Headless Browser

A Headless browser is an important tool in various fields of automation, web development, and testing due to the following:

• Efficiency: Headless browsers often utilize fewer system resources than their GUI equivalents since they lack a graphical user interface. This efficiency is significant when performing testing or web scraping operations on servers or in cloud environments, where resource allocation is crucial.
• Web Scraping: The practice of gathering data from webpages using headless browsers is known as web scraping. Various uses for this data include market analysis, competitive analysis, and data-driven decision-making. Developers can effectively automate the data extraction procedure thanks to headless browsers.
• Compatibility Testing: Web developers can utilize headless browsers for compatibility testing concerning network interactions with various browser setups and versions. This ensures that web apps work properly on different network settings.
• Headless Website Monitoring: Organizations frequently utilize headless browsers to keep tabs on the functionality and accessibility of their websites. Automated scripts can visit websites regularly, mimic user behaviors, and report any problems or outages. Learn about the Top 33 DevOps Monitoring tools that can help you to use it effortlessly.
• Server-Side Rendering: To enhance efficiency and search engine optimization (SEO), some contemporary online applications use server-side rendering (SSR). In SSR configurations, headless browsers transmit fully rendered HTML to clients and pre-render web pages on the server, lessening the burden on client-side JavaScript.
• Security Testing: Security experts can automate security testing, such as penetration testing and vulnerability scanning, using headless browsers. In web applications, this aids in identifying and reducing potential security issues.
• Web Page Screenshots and Rendering: Web page rendering and screenshot generation are both useful uses for headless browsers for creating screenshots or rendering web pages for documentation. This can be used to create reports, documentation, and previews.
• Development and Debugging: Developers can do web application debugging and profiling using headless browsers. They can mimic user interactions and examine network requests, JavaScript performance, and rendering performance to find and fix problems.

Why is Headless Browser Better Than Real Browsers in Terms of Performance?

Headless browsers are not inherently better than real browsers in every aspect. However, if we compare practically in terms of execution speed and resource usage, headless browsers will outperform real browsers. In this section, we will practically compare both browsers by running the same test case on Chrome browser using Selenium and Python.

For the test case, we will use the Lambdatest e-commerce website. We will fetch the website's title and then search for a product named iPhone.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options as ChromeOptions
import time

def scrape_table_data():
    start = time.time()

    # Navigate to the url
    driver.get("https://ecommerce-playground.lambdatest.io/")
    print(driver.title)

    # Find the search input field
    search_input = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "search")

    # Enter "iphone" into the search bar
    search_input.send_keys("iPhone")

    # Submit the search form
    search_input.submit()

    # Close the driver
    driver.quit()
    end = time.time()
    execution_time = (end - start) * 10**3
    return execution_time

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
print("Chrome Browser")
execution_time = scrape_table_data()
print(f"Time taken: {execution_time:.03f}ms

")

options = ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless=new")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
print("Chrome Headless Browser")
execution_time = scrape_table_data()
print(f"Time taken: {execution_time:.03f}ms")

Console Output:

As you can see there is a drastic difference of 1817.872ms for just a single test. If we create it for multiple test cases then this difference is significant. If you are confused with the code then there is no need to worry about it. In the coming blog, we will see it in detail.

What is Headless Browser Testing?

Traditionally UI testing is used by developers to check the functionality of websites, but it has limitations including instability and slow execution. A paradigm shift is used to overcome these problems in headless browser testing. In contrast to UI-driven testing, it runs without loading the application's GUI and interacts directly with the website's document object model(DOM) to produce more consistent and repeatable findings. This shift has transformed testing approaches for the better.

Furthermore, since web applications change over time, headless browser testing is essential for assuring the creation of error-free and responsive web apps. It integrates smoothly with CI/CD pipelines, empowering development teams to confidently provide excellent online experiences to users. production teams may streamline their testing procedures and guarantee cross-browser compatibility by utilizing complete solutions offered by top platforms like LambdaTest, opening the door for the production of world-class web apps.

When to Use Headless Browser Testing

The following situations offer special uses for headless browser testing, which is a flexible and useful tool for software testing:

• Handling JavaScript Execution: modern frontend frameworks like React.js, Angular.js, and Vue.js extensively use JavaScript. JavaScript has become essential for the functioning of web applications. JavaScript-based features can be tested and used by headless browsers, allowing for a thorough assessment of web page functionality.
• Scraping Content: Using a headless browser to perform web scraping can be a highly effective technique if you need to retrieve data from a website. Web page navigation, text extraction, HTML parsing, and data saving to a file or database are all possible.
• Network Activity Monitoring: Headless browsers include capabilities to keep track of network activity while pages load. Requests, responses, and other network-related metrics can all be tracked. This is helpful for troubleshooting and performance testing.
• AJAX call handling: AJAX calls are frequently used to retrieve data from a server without refreshing the full page. You may test how your application responds to asynchronous data loading by interacting with AJAX queries using headless browsers.
• Screenshot generation: Headless browsers can take screenshots of web pages, which helps produce visual reports, keep track of changes to a website's design, or record web content for documentation.

Headless Browser Testing with Different Frameworks

Modern web development frequently uses headless browser testing, and many testing frameworks support it. Here's how to utilize some well-liked testing frameworks to carry out headless browser testing:

Selenium

Selenium is an open-source framework used to automate web browsers. It enables test automation of websites or web applications across various operating systems & browsers. You can set up Selenium to run headless tests using a headless browser like Firefox Headless or Headless Chrome.

Let’s write a Python script to run a Selenium test using Headless Chrome. For the test case, we will use the LambdaTest E-commerce website.

Getting Title of the Website

This test case fetches the title of the website:

# Import the necessary libraries
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options as ChromeOptions

# Create a ChromeOptions object
options = ChromeOptions()

# Enable the headless mode
options.add_argument("--headless=new")

# Create a ChromeDriver object
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

# Get the Ecommerce Playground website
driver.get('https://ecommerce-playground.lambdatest.io/')

# Print the title of the page
print(driver.title)

# Check if the title of the page is "Your Store"
assert "Your Store" in driver.title, "Title doesn't match 'Your Store'"

# Quit the browser
driver.quit()

Console Output:

To enable the headless option in Chrome browser, we need to use the add_argument() method of Options. The --headless=new represents the new version of the Headless Chrome.

Taking a Screenshot in a Headless Browser using Selenium

Selenium provides a feature to take screenshots using the save_screenshot() method. Below example will illustrate how to use the save_screenshot() method.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options as ChromeOptions

options = ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless=new")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

driver.get('https://ecommerce-playground.lambdatest.io/')
driver.save_screenshot("example.png")

driver.quit()

Taken Screenshot:

Selenium's driver.save_screenshot() method takes a screenshot of the active browser window and saves it to the given file directory. The file path must lead to a readable file and be legitimate. PNG is the format used to store the screenshot.

You can learn more about Selenium from our detailed YouTube video.

Cypress

Cypress is an end-to-end testing framework created for contemporary web applications. Instead of conventional headless browsers, Cypress performs tests directly in the browser, enabling better visibility and real-time debugging. You can run tests in headless mode by setting up Cypress to use Electron as the headless browser. Cypress's strong API for interacting with your application makes writing tests and assertions simple.

Let’s create and run a test on Cypress using Headless Chrome. For the test case, we will use the LambdaTest E-commerce website.

Getting Title of the Website

This test case fetches the website's title. Add this below code is spec.cy.js file:

describe("template spec", () => {
  it("passes", () => {
    // Open the Ecommerce Playground website in headless mode
    cy.visit("https://ecommerce-playground.lambdatest.io/", {
      headless: true,
    });

    // Verify that the page title is correct
    cy.title().should("eq", "Your Store");
  });
});

Over in the command log you'll see Cypress display the suite, the test, and your assertion (which should be passing in green).

Console Output:

Taking a Screenshot in a Headless Browser using Cypress

Cypress itself provides a feature to take screenshots using the screenshot() function. Below example will illustrate how to use the screenshot() function.

describe("template spec", () => {
  it("passes", () => {
    cy.visit("https://ecommerce-playground.lambdatest.io/", {
      chromeWebSecurity: false,
      headless: true,
    });

    // Take a screenshot of the top-left corner of the page
    cy.screenshot({ clip: { x: 0, y: 0, width: 1000, height: 660 } });
  });
});

Output:

The taken screenshot will in the screenshots folder.

Puppeteer

Google created the Node.js library Puppeteer to manage headless Chrome or Chromium. Puppeteer provides a high-level API for automating processes like form submission, navigation, and screenshotting. It works very well for site scraping, testing, and producing PDFs. Puppeteer can be used with a visible browser window even if its default mode is headless.

Let’s create and run a test on Puppeteer using Headless Chrome. We will use the LambdaTest Playground website for the test case.

Getting Title of the Website

This test case fetches the website's title.

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

async function main() {
  // Launch a headless Chrome browser.
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: "new",
  });

  // Create a new Puppeteer page.
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  // Navigate to the LambdaTest Playground page.
  await page.goto(
    "https://www.lambdatest.com/selenium-playground/select-dropdown-demo"
  );
  // Get the page title.
  const title = await page.title();

  // Print the page title to the console.
  console.log(title);

  // Close the browser.
  await browser.close();
}

// Call the main function.
main();

Console Output:

Taking a Screenshot in a Headless Browser using Puppeteer

Puppeteer itself provides a feature to take screenshots using the screenshot() function. Below example will illustrate how to use the screenshot() function.

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

async function main() {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: "new",
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();

  await page.goto(
    "https://www.lambdatest.com/selenium-playground/select-dropdown-demo"
  );
  // Capture a screenshot of the full page
  await page.screenshot({ path: "./example.png" });

  await browser.close();
}

main();

Taken Screenshot:

By using page.screenshot() method a snapshot of the currently displayed page will be taken and saved as example.png in the working directory.

Playwright

Microsoft's Playwright framework, which is relatively new, offers browser automation for Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. The author offers both headless and headful execution techniques. It assists with cross browser testing and parallel execution. You can automate a variety of browser interactions with Playwright, and you can even test mobile browsers.

Let’s create and run a test on Playwright using Firefox in Headless mode. For the test case, we will use the To-do list web app.

By default, Playwright runs the browsers in headless mode. To see the browser UI, pass the headless=False flag while launching the browser.

Getting Title of the Website

This test case fetches the title of the website.

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.firefox.launch(headless=False)
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://lambdatest.github.io/sample-todo-app/")
    print(page.title())
    # Check if the title of the page is "Sample page - lambdatest.com"
    assert "Sample page - lambdatest.com" in page.title(), "Title doesn't match 'Sample page - lambdatest.com'"
    browser.close()

Console Output:

Advanced Headless Testing Techniques

For tackling specific issues in web development and testing, advanced headless testing techniques are helpful. Here are several sophisticated strategies, including handling webpages with a lot of JavaScript and manipulating user agents:

Manipulation of the User Agent

Manipulating the user agent string that the browser delivers to the server is known as user agent manipulation. For emulating various browser types or versions, this can be helpful.

Use Cases

• Browser Compatibility Testing: Testing a website's compatibility with other browsers or versions, including headless browsers, can be done by switching the user agent.
• Mobile Device Simulation: To verify responsive web design and mobile compatibility, mobile browser simulation is essential.

Implementation Techniques

• You can use the page in Puppeteer to change the user agent. The method Page.setUserAgent().
• In Playwright, you can use userAgent or headers (extraHTTPHeaders)
• Selenium offers features for Chrome or Firefox that let you change the user agent.

Handling JavaScript-Heavy Websites

JavaScript and its frameworks like React.js, Vue.js, and Next.js are key components of dynamic content and user interactions on many modern websites. The use of JavaScript handling techniques is necessary for effective headless testing of such websites.

Use Cases

• SPA (Single-Page Application) Testing: By interacting with and validating dynamic elements, it guarantees that Single-Page web applications work properly.
• Data Loading and AJAX Calls: Make that the website refreshes dynamically and that data is properly loaded via AJAX calls.

Implementation Techniques

• Waits: Before interacting with elements, use explicit waits to ensure they are present, visible, or have the desired properties.
• JavaScript Execution: Use page.evaluate() (Puppeteer) and other functions to run JavaScript code on the execute_script() in Selenium or page.evaluateHandle() in Playwright.
• Event Simulation: Simulate user events like clicks, input, and form submissions using the browser's event system.
• Network Monitoring: Monitor network requests and responses to verify data fetching and API calls.

Emulating Mobile Devices

Emulating different device characteristics is essential to test a website's responsiveness and operation on mobile devices.
