Description
This hands-on course is designed for complete beginners who want to master end-to-end testing with Playwright using JavaScript and TypeScript. Starting from the very first installation and project setup, you’ll learn how to write robust, maintainable tests that automate real-world browser workflows—from logging in and filling forms to navigating multi-page applications. Along the way, you’ll build confidence with Playwright’s intuitive context/page model, powerful selector strategies, and built-in fixtures and hooks to organize your test suites.You’ll discover how to:Interact with pages: Automate clicks, typing, drag-and-drop, dialogs, and frame navigation.Assert application state: Use Playwright’s TypeScript expect API for visibility, timing, text, and value checks.Handle networks: Intercept and mock HTTP requests to simulate back-end failures, control test data, and speed up execution.Scale tests: Run suites in parallel across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit for broad browser coverage.Structure frameworks: Implement the Page Object Model, reusable utilities, and custom fixtures for scalable, team-ready code.Playwright automation: Automate your workflows with Playwright automation tools. You may even use it for web scrapping.Use AI tools and Playwright MCP to generate and manage test cases.Add API checks: Send REST requests via APIRequestContext, validate response payloads, and chain API flows alongside UI tests.Integrate CI/CD: Configure GitHub Actions (or your preferred pipeline) to run tests on every commit, generate HTML reports, and fail builds on regressions.Use Playwright with TypeScript: Use the most popular programming language for Playwright automation. All the TypeScript code is clean, properly formatted and professionally written.Whether you’re a manual tester stepping into automation, a developer wanting to catch regressions early, or a QA professional seeking modern JavaScript/TypeScript tools, this course will equip you with everything you need to deliver fast, reliable, and maintainable end-to-end and API tests.Disclaimer: This course is an independent training program and is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Playwright, Microsoft, or any of their subsidiaries.
