+# End-to-End Tests
+
+Playwright tests for Lonboard widgets in JupyterLab.
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e        # Run all tests
+npm run test:e2e:ui     # Run with UI mode
+npm run jupyter:test    # Start test JupyterLab manually (port 8889)
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Tests run on port 8889 (isolated from dev on 8888)
+- Fresh JupyterLab server per test run
+- Fixtures in `tests/e2e/fixtures/`
+
+## DeckGL Canvas Interactions
+
+Playwright mouse events don't trigger DeckGL handlers. Use helpers from `helpers/deckgl/`:
+
+```typescript
+import { deckPointerEvent } from "./helpers/deckgl";
+
+// Use canvas-relative coordinates (pixels from canvas top-left corner)
+await deckPointerEvent(page, "click", 200, 300);
+await deckPointerEvent(page, "hover", 400, 500);
+```
+
+The helpers automatically convert pixel coordinates to geographic coordinates and invoke DeckGL event handlers. See JSDoc comments in `helpers/deckgl/interactions.ts` for implementation details.
+
+Example: `bbox-select.spec.ts`
