+# Gravl E2E Testing Guide
+
+## Overview
+This project uses Playwright for E2E and API testing.
+
+## Test Suites
+
+### 1. API Tests (`tests/gravl.api.spec.js`)
+✅ **Working** - Uses Playwright's API context (no browser required)
+
+Tests HTTP endpoints without launching a browser:
+- Homepage accessibility check
+- Login page accessibility
+- API connectivity validation
+
+**Run API tests:**
+```bash
+npx playwright test tests/gravl.api.spec.js
+```
+
+### 2. UI Tests (`tests/gravl.spec.js`)
+⚠️ **Requires System Setup** - Needs graphics libraries
+
+Tests interactive UI elements using browser automation:
+- Login form visibility
+- Logo detection
+- Dashboard title validation
+
+**System Requirements:**
+- libXcomposite.so.1
+- libX11 and related X11 libraries
+- libwayland (for Wayland support)
+- Other graphics/media libraries
+
+**Install on Ubuntu/Debian:**
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y \
+  libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxrandr2 libxinerama1 \
+  libxcursor1 libxtst6 libxss1 libx11-6 libatk1.0-0 \
+  libatk-bridge2.0-0 libpango-1.0-0 libcairo2 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 \
+  libgtk-3-0 libnss3 libnspr4 libdbus-1-3 libxext6 libxfixes3
+```
+
+**Note:** For CI/CD environments without X11, use API tests or containerized setup.
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### All tests (API only in this environment):
+```bash
+npx playwright test
+```
+
+### With JSON report:
+```bash
+npx playwright test --reporter=json > test-results.json
+```
+
+### Headless browser (requires system libraries):
+```bash
+STAGING_URL=http://localhost:3000 npx playwright test
+```
+
+### Watch mode:
+```bash
+npx playwright test --watch
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+**File:** `playwright.config.js`
+
+- **testDir:** `./tests`
+- **baseURL:** `http://localhost:5173` (dev) or `$STAGING_URL`
+- **Projects:** API context (no browser)
+
+## Test Results
+
+See `/test-results/` directory for latest run reports.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Executable doesn't exist" / Missing browsers
+Run: `npx playwright install`
+
+### "cannot open shared object file: libXcomposite.so.1"
+Browser engine missing system dependencies. Use API tests instead.
+
+### Tests timeout
+Check if application is running on baseURL (e.g., http://localhost:5173)
+
+## Phase 06-04 Status
+
+✅ **API tests working** - 3/3 passing
+⚠️ **UI tests blocked** - Requires system graphics libraries (not available in this environment)
+
+Workaround implemented: Use API tests for regression testing. Full E2E testing requires browser environment.
