Best UI Automation Testing Demo Websites

When learning web UI testing, you always need good demo sites that mimic real-world scenarios. Over time, the community has built some excellent resources — here's the definitive list.

Why demo sites matter

Practicing on real applications is expensive and risky. Demo sites give you:

• Predictable behavior — elements and workflows you can rely on
• Safe failures — break things without consequence
• Varied complexity — from basic forms to multi-step e-commerce flows

The best demo sites

E-commerce & shopping

Swag Labs (Sauce Demo)
URL: https://www.saucedemo.com/
The gold standard for beginners. Has login flows, shopping cart, and checkout. Multiple user states including a "problem user" that breaks UI elements — perfect for negative testing.

Luma Magento Store
URL: https://magento.softwaretestingboard.com/
A full Magento e-commerce store with categories, search, product pages, and checkout. Great for complex end-to-end scenarios.

Automation Test Store
URL: https://automationteststore.com/
Another e-commerce store with user registration, product search, and order management.

DemoBlaze
URL: https://www.demoblaze.com/

Forms & interactions

SelectorHub Practice Page

Specifically designed for practicing XPath and CSS selectors. Great for Selenium practitioners.

The Internet (Heroku)
URL: https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/

Banking & financial apps

Targets specific automation challenges: click timing, dynamic IDs, AJAX, scroll behavior.

Selenium Test Pages

Which one should I start with?

Beginner     → Swag Labs + DemoQA
Intermediate → The Internet + ParaBank
Advanced     → Luma Magento (full E2E flows)
AI Testing   → Any of the above + use LLMs to generate test scripts

Playwright quick start example

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
 
test('Swag Labs login flow', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://www.saucedemo.com/');
  
  await page.fill('#user-name', 'standard_user');
  await page.fill('#password', 'secret_sauce');
  await page.click('#login-button');
  
  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/inventory/);
  await expect(page.locator('.title')).toHaveText('Products');
});
