Serenity/JS 3.47 brings web UI component testing into the same Screenplay Pattern architecture as the rest of your suite. The new story fixture mounts a Playwright component story, and the newly introduced Question.as(Constructor) lets you turn it into an Interaction Object.

That means the interaction model you use to exercise the component in isolation can be the same one your end-to-end scenarios use when exercising the running application.

This release also introduces new guides to help you set up component testing and keep your web test code portable with Serenity/JS web modules.

Serenity/JS 3.46 extends PageElement to enable fluent child element access and introduces a new design pattern — Interaction Objects — for modelling UI components through composable Questions and Tasks.

Together, these features make it easier to structure your test code around what users can observe and do, rather than the underlying DOM structure.

Serenity/JS 3.45 introduces a built-in HTML Reporter — designed to help your team understand the quality of your system, not just whether tests passed or failed. No Java, no separate generation step, no external services.

Serenity/JS 3.43 introduces support for testing Electron desktop applications using the same Screenplay Pattern APIs you already know from web testing. This release also brings a completely revamped Playwright Test documentation — split into focused, digestible guides to help you get productive faster.

Let's explore what's new!

Serenity/JS 3.42 brings native ECMAScript Module (ESM) support to all packages, enabling you to use modern import syntax while maintaining full backwards compatibility with CommonJS require(). This release also includes Node.js 24 compatibility fixes and addresses the dual-package hazard that can occur when mixing ESM and CJS in the same project.
