Orbit user guides
Welcome. Orbit runs your Playwright tests and keeps their results in one place. The Console is the web site that holds projects, results and reports. The Station is the program on a Windows PC that runs the tests.
These guides are task-based. They use plain words and the exact button and field names you see in the Console and the Station.
