Playwright JAVA Automation Testing -From Basics to Framework

Learn the minimum Java basics for playwright automation—variables, data types, arrays, loops, strings, and array lists—while introducing inheritance and interfaces and guiding with Eclipse and IntelliJ.

Learn how to use a for loop to iterate over arrays of strings and integers, print each element, and handle array length and zero-based indexing in Java automation testing.

ArrayList enables dynamic growth beyond fixed-size arrays by using add, get, and remove methods in Java.

Learn how to declare and access Java class methods, choose access modifiers, define return types, and call methods across classes using objects or static methods.

Set up Playwright for Java with the test engine and TestNG, manage Maven dependencies, and write tests with @Test annotations to follow framework standards.

Learn to invoke Chromium with Playwright in Java, create a browser instance, open a page, navigate to a URL, and validate the page title for test cases.

Learn to verify a page title with Playwright Java assertions, capturing page.title and comparing it to an expected title in headless and headed modes via IDE, TestNG, or Maven.

Playwright downloads and runs tests on browser engines, Chromium, Gecko, and WebKit, enabling cross-platform testing without installing full browsers.

Learn to build an end-to-end Playwright test: log in, verify the dashboard, and create and book an event using resilient locators (get by role, label, placeholder, CSS) with before/after hooks.

Validate login by asserting the browse events link is visible using Playwright get by role and assertions, then navigate to the create event page and use CSS locators when needed.

Learn to handle dropdowns in Playwright automation using selectOption and resilient locators, identifying options by label or value like concert, with parent to child css traversal.

Discover how playwright's auto waiting performs actions only after a locator resolves to a single, visible, stable, and enabled element, with default timeouts for actions and assertions.

Learn how to extract text with Playwright API methods, using get by text and inner text, then scope searches to a target card to reliably verify seat availability before booking.

Orchestrate an end-to-end booking flow with playwright locators, using getByRole and getByText, CSS selectors and IDs, to grab a booking reference and verify it in booking history.

Apply a smart locator strategy to filter booking cards by booking reference, isolate the target card, and verify the booking history and seat count reduction after booking.

Parse the seat count by splitting the string and taking zeroth index, then convert to integer with parse int, and verify seed count reduction before and after booking in Playwright.

Understand how Playwright distinguishes browser, context, and page, and learn to switch between parent and child windows while managing parallel contexts for isolated sessions.

Master a design plan for handling child windows in Playwright within a browser context, catching new pages with wait and listener, and switching between parent and child pages.

Master handling radio buttons, checkboxes, and dropdowns in Playwright Java with area role locators, assertions, and end-to-end UI control tests.

Learn how to verify element visibility with Playwright Java by testing is visible and is hidden using placeholder locators, handle frames, hover interactions, and dialog boxes with accept or dismiss.

Learn to handle non-web dialogues in Playwright with page.on dialogue listener to accept or dismiss prompts, using area role.button locator, hover, and debugging tips for visibility and timeouts.

Learn how to work with frames in Playwright by using frame locators to switch context, access content inside iframes, and click links like learning paths within the frame.

Learn to take screenshots in playwright at page level and locator level using page.screenshot and locator.screenshot. Save screenshots with paths and options, and target specific components for easier debugging.

Shows using the http delete api with path parameter (versus query) and dynamic event id, attaching authorization headers, and verifying deletion by a follow-up get events check.

Learn Java Playwright automation to validate CRUD operations via get API calls, ensuring 200 responses and false assertions for deleted IDs, end-to-end login, create, retrieve, delete events, and bookings.

Learn to validate edge cases by injecting mock json responses with six cards, assert event card counts using Playwright assertions, and use route interception to verify banners and loading behavior.

Learn how inheritance in Java enables a child class to reuse parent's methods with the extends keyword, and how TestNG annotations like before and after reduce boilerplate in test frameworks.

The lecture demonstrates using a parameterized constructor and the this keyword to initialize an object with a value, enabling reusable methods and avoiding repeated parameter passing.

Move common setup with Playwright via inheritance to a base test class, then have tests extend this base to reduce duplication.

Configure global properties in java using the properties class to read config.properties and determine browser (chrome, firefox, safari/webkit). Drive URLs from config properties to avoid hard coding in Playwright tests.

Understand the page object model and how it centralizes locators in per-page classes to simplify maintenance across tests, with login, product catalog, and checkout pages in Java.

Refactor tests into a dedicated tests package and establish a page object model with a login page class and constructor-based wiring of page and base URL, enabling centralized login actions.

Centralize locators in the page object file using private static final fields and return the next page object after actions to streamline navigation and reduce duplication.

Wrap up the page object pattern in Playwright by optimizing event card handling, seat count retrieval, and booking flow into reusable methods for data-driven end-to-end testing.
