Playwright Test Automation in Java with AI

Learn how Playwright uses browser contexts to run tests in isolated sessions, enabling multiple contexts, separate cookies and local storage, and parallel execution for efficient testing.

Understand how browser contexts work in Playwright and why sharing a single context across tests boosts isolation and efficiency.

Discover how to locate elements with Playwright by text value, alt text, or title, then click and assert visibility across a product page.

Master Playwright's role-based locators to find elements semantically via aria roles and names, enabling resilient, accessible tests across buttons, dialogs, checkboxes, and headings.

Locate elements reliably with a test ID, such as data test ID, independent of HTML structure. Use Playwright selectors to set and get by test ID for stable element lookup.

Explore how to locate and manipulate collections of elements with Playwright, using CSS class selectors like card, and perform counts, first/last/nth selections, and retrieve all text contents.

Explore CSS locators in Playwright by locating elements via id, class, and placeholder, entering values like Sarah Jane, clicking submit, and validating alerts with assertions.

Watch a live coding demo on using Playwright locators to search for pliers, verify four results, and confirm that long nose pliers are out of stock.

Refactor tests with the UsePlaywright annotation to inject page, browser, or Playwright objects, removing explicit before/after setup and centralizing options in a configurable headless Chrome options class.

See a live coding demo testing mandatory form fields, submitting empty forms to reveal alert messages, and validating errors like 'first name is required' with a JUnit 5 parameterized test.

Use assertj with Playwright to extract and assert on data such as product prices, converting text to numbers and applying comprehensive collection assertions. Verify list order with case-insensitive sorting.

Learn how Playwright handles asynchronous pages with automatic waits and retries, why to avoid hard-coded pauses, and how to use wait for selector to verify product names and images.

Discover how Playwright automatically waits for elements to render, enabling interaction with checkboxes without explicit waits and validating results with assertions.

Mastering modern test automation with Playwright demonstrates waiting for elements to appear and disappear, using intermediate assertions and explicit wait conditions to verify toaster messages, aria alerts, and cart updates.

Learn to wait for an API response with Playwright, not a UI event, by waiting for the product sort API and validating prices in descending order to reduce flaky tests.

Expand test coverage for a search feature in a Playwright for Java project by adding readable tests for empty searches, no matches, and clear search using JUnit 5 display names.

Learn to call real APIs from Playwright, fetch product data (name and price) via an API request context, and verify on-page results using has text filters.

Create a Java record for a user and populate it with random data via Data Faker, covering first name, last name, address, city, postcode, email, date of birth, and password.
