Automation Testing with Playwright
Master Microsoft Playwright, modern TypeScript testing, Page Object Model design, API testing, and GitHub Actions CI pipelines through hands-on daily live engineering practice.
12-Week Module Plan
Software Testing Fundamentals & Automation Concepts
Core testing principles, manual vs automation trade-offs, test case design techniques, test coverage mapping, and selector strategy foundations.
JavaScript & TypeScript Fundamentals for Test Automation
Variables, data types, arrow functions, async/await, promises, modules, and TypeScript type annotations needed for clean test scripting.
Playwright Setup, Browser Contexts & Locators
Environment configuration, npm setup, browser contexts, isolation, multi-browser execution, and modern user-facing locators (role, text, label).
Element Interaction, Auto-Waiting & Assertions
Clicking, filling, hovering, keyboard inputs, auto-waiting mechanisms, web-first assertions with expect(), and handling dynamic animations.
Test Organization, Fixtures & Custom Hooks
Test runner structure, test.describe, beforeEach/afterEach hooks, test isolation, and crafting reusable custom fixtures.
Complex UI Components, Iframes & File Uploads
Handling shadow DOM, nested iframes, modal dialogs, custom dropdowns, date pickers, file downloads, and multipart file uploads.
Page Object Model (POM) Framework Design
Architecting modular, maintainable POM classes, separation of locators and test actions, and reducing code duplication.
Test Data Management, Environments & Auth State
JSON/CSV test data providers, .env environment management, reusing browser authentication state (storageState) to speed up test execution.
API Testing & Network Interception with Playwright
APIRequestContext, validating JSON REST endpoints, HTTP status assertions, route mocking, and simulating network failures.
Debugging, Playwright Trace Viewer & Reporting
Playwright Inspector, recording test traces, video capture, screenshot comparisons, and generating HTML & Allure test reports.
Git, CI/CD Pipelines & Headless Execution
Git branching workflows, GitHub Actions workflow configuration, matrix test execution across Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, and artifact retention.
Framework Capstone Project & Technical Review
Build and publish a comprehensive end-to-end framework repository on GitHub. Code reviews, mock technical interview questions, and resume presentation.
