Course Overview
This comprehensive Playwright tutorial takes you from the fundamentals of browser automation to advanced test automation techniques using real-world examples. Designed for beginners and aspiring automation engineers, the course covers Playwright architecture, installation, test creation, locators, assertions, debugging, reporting, data-driven testing, Page Object Model (POM), and cross-browser execution. By the end of the course, you'll have the practical skills needed to build scalable, maintainable, and production-ready web automation frameworks.
Topics Covered
- Introduction to Playwright: Learn what Playwright is, its key features, advantages, limitations, and how it compares with popular automation tools such as Selenium WebDriver and Cypress.
- Installing and Setting Up Playwright: Configure the development environment by installing Node.js, Visual Studio Code, and Playwright. You'll also learn the project folder structure and different installation methods.
- Creating and Running Your First Test: Build your first Playwright automation script, understand test execution, run tests on different browsers, and explore Test Explorer, command-line execution, and browser modes such as headless and headed execution.
- Recording Tests and Understanding Reports: Learn multiple ways to record automation scripts using Playwright's recording tools and Codegen. You'll also generate HTML reports and configure screenshots for failed test cases.
- Working with Locators and Web Elements: Master Playwright locators and learn how to automate common web interactions, including dropdowns, iframes, drag-and-drop functionality, mouse actions, keyboard inputs, date pickers, and other UI components.
- Assertions and Test Organization: Explore hard and soft assertions, create and organize spec files, group related tests, apply tags, skip tests, and improve test maintainability using Playwright's built-in testing features.
- Advanced Test Execution: Learn advanced execution techniques such as watch mode, trace viewer, retries, repeated execution, parallel testing, parameterized tests, and visual comparison testing for improved automation efficiency.
- Data-Driven Testing and Environment Management: Implement data-driven testing using JSON and CSV files, configure environment variables, and execute tests across multiple environments for greater flexibility.
- Page Object Model and Framework Design: Build scalable automation frameworks using the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern, making your test scripts modular, reusable, and easier to maintain.
- Video Recording and Browser Configuration: Learn how to record browser sessions during test execution and configure browser settings, including maximizing the browser window for automation scenarios.
