Are you ready to learn modern, end-to-end web automation using one of the fastest-growing tools in the testing world? This course is designed to take you from zero to expert in Playwright through real-world examples, hands-on exercises, and practical guidance.

What is Playwright?

Playwright is an open-source automation framework developed by Microsoft. It enables fast, reliable, cross-browser testing of modern web applications across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. With advanced features like auto-waiting, parallel test execution, screenshot testing, and multi-tab support, Playwright is a modern alternative to traditional tools like Selenium.

Built with support for both JavaScript and TypeScript, Playwright is an excellent choice for testers and developers looking to implement robust automation frameworks.

Why TypeScript?

TypeScript is preferred for Playwright because it enhances automation with better tooling and code reliability. Key benefits include:

• Static typing to catch errors at compile time

• Rich IntelliSense and auto-completion in editors like VS Code

• Built-in Playwright type definitions for better API usage

• Improved maintainability and scalability for large test suites

• Modern JavaScript features + additional TypeScript features

• Seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines in professional projects

What You Will Learn:

• How to set up Playwright with Node.js and TypeScript

• Interact with UI elements using CSS, text, and role-based selectors

• Automate real-world user flows: clicking, typing, dropdowns, file uploads, alerts, iframes, and more

• Handle dynamic waits, test assertions, and manage test data

• Run tests in headless and headed modes, across multiple browsers

• Configure parallel test execution and retry mechanisms

• Build reusable test utilities and page objects using fixtures

• Integrate API testing within your UI automation flows

• Capture screenshots, record videos, and generate advanced test reports
