Compare TypeScript and JavaScript, showing how types and compile-time checks improve reliability in Playwright automation. Demonstrate types, interfaces, and safe parameter handling, with built-in TypeScript support and automatic transpilation.
Install Playwright with TypeScript, configure tests, run initial tests across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, and explore the UI, reports, and tags.
Generate Playwright tests using codegen in TypeScript, from recording to cleanup and assertions. Organize positive and negative login tests with describe blocks and run them with npx playwright test.
Learn to locate and interact with Playwright elements using built-in locators (by role, text, label, placeholder, alt text, test id) and CSS or XPath selectors, with login examples.
Master Playwright assertions to validate web pages using auto retrying checks, non retrying checks, negated matchers, and soft assertions, with practical examples and documentation guidance.
Explore Playwright visual testing by capturing baseline screenshots, performing full-page comparisons across browsers, updating snapshots, and masking sensitive elements for privacy-preserving UI checks.
Explore accessibility testing with Playwright and TypeScript, learning how to use axe-core to run wcag-based checks, interpret violations, and generate detailed accessibility reports for bug reporting and compliance.
Learn to test rest APIs with Playwright and TypeScript by sending get, post, put, and delete requests, validating status codes, payloads, and documentation compliance.
Learn to intercept, observe, modify, and mock API requests in Playwright with TypeScript, simulate errors like 404 or 500, and block images, styles, and fonts to speed UI tests.
Learn to implement a page object model with Playwright in TypeScript, organizing tests with a base page and page objects, plus a manage page for reusable login and checkboxes.
Learn Playwright + TypeScript by building a maintainable, production‑ready test suite step by step. We start with a fast JS to TS primer for testers, then move from first run to a clean Page Object Model, fixtures, API tests, network mocking, visual/a11y checks, and CI/CD.
What you’ll do
Set up Node, VS Code, and Playwright
Use robust locators and assertions to write readable, flaky‑free tests.
Capture and refactor Codegen output into clean, reusable test code.
Add visual snapshots, debug with the HTML report, trace, and video.
Intercept/mimic API calls to test slow responses, errors, and edge cases.
Validate REST APIs directly with Playwright’s request library.
Check accessibility with axe and address common WCAG issues.
Organize everything with a Page Object Model and Playwright fixtures.
Ship tests in CI with GitHub Actions and artifacts.
Explore AI‑assisted testing to draft, refactor, and review scenarios safely.
By the end, you’ll be able to design and build your own Playwright solution tailored to your product and team workflow—using reliable locators and assertions, a clean POM architecture, reusable fixtures, API and network tests, visual and accessibility checks, and a fast GitHub Actions pipeline. You’ll leave with a comprehensive, job‑ready starter template (POM + fixtures + utilities + CI) and the know‑how to adapt it to new apps, add custom helpers, and scale your suite with confidence. In the final module, we add AI‑assisted testing—showing how to use tools like Copilot/MCP Server to draft tests, generate data, refactor POMs, and review failures with human‑in‑the‑loop guardrails.
