Playwright Test Automation: BDD, POM, TypeScript DDT & CI/CD

Playwright is a modern, reliable, and highly customizable test automation framework developed by Microsoft.
This course provides a complete, industry-level understanding of Playwright BDD, TypeScript, Page Object Model, Fixtures, Data-Driven Testing, Storage State, Reporting, and CI/CD Pipelines.

We start from the fundamentals of Playwright automation and gradually build a fully scalable, maintainable BDD framework using real-world best practices. Every lesson builds on the previous one, ensuring a smooth learning curve without confusion or gaps.

What This Course Covers

1. Playwright Automation Foundations

• Complete setup and configuration with TypeScript

• ESLint, Prettier, Husky and clean code practices

• Understanding and configuring playwright.config.js

• Running tests using CLI, test runner, tags and grep

• Core concepts of fixtures, hooks, and test structure

2. Playwright BDD Framework (Cucumber + Test Runner)

You will build a complete BDD framework from scratch, including:

• Cucumber integration with Playwright Test Runner

• Auto-generating steps in VSCode

• Feature files, step definitions, glue code

• BasePage, inheritance and shared utilities

• Page Object Model design and folder structuring

• Reusable createTestFunction to reduce boilerplate

• Mastering hooks and tag-based execution

• Scenario Outlines for multiple test datasets

• Multi-environment setup for real projects

• Dynamic object loading and dynamic imports

Each lesson progressively enhances the framework, just like in real professional automation environments.

3. Clean Code, Quality & Best Practices

• Setting up Prettier and Gherkin plugin

• Using ESLint and Husky to prevent bad commits

• Debugging techniques

• Reducing flaky tests using correct locator strategies

• Organizing large frameworks in a scalable structure

4. Authentication & Storage State

Learn real-world login and session handling:

• Login using storage state

• Saving and reusing cookies and sessions

• Advanced storage-state management for multiple users

• Sharing session state across tests

• Using storage state inside DDT and E2E flows

5. Reporting: Allure and Cucumber

You will integrate professional test reporting:

• Allure reporting complete setup

• Capturing screenshots, steps, attachments

• Multiple-Cucumber-HTML report generation

• Debug-friendly BDD report configurations

6. CI/CD Pipelines (GitHub Actions + Netlify)

Modern automation frameworks require pipeline integration. You will learn:

• Setting up GitHub Actions workflows

• Running Playwright tests in CI

• Deploying Allure and HTML reports to Netlify

• Creating per-branch reporting (Preview and Production)

• Cross-browser execution in pipeline

7. Data Driven Testing

Build a complete DDT setup:

• Framework setup for data-driven execution

• Working with multiple data sets

• Debugging and hover interactions

• Reusable fixtures for DDT

• Login using storage state in DDT mode

• End-to-end testing with shared session state

• Deploying E2E DDT reports through CI/CD

How to Follow This Course

• Watch lessons in order because each chapter builds on the previous one.

• Write code along with the instructor instead of copying.

• Pause videos when needed and understand the logic behind each change.

• Use full-screen mode for better visibility of code and text.

Skipping lessons may lead to confusion since the framework is built step-by-step.

What You Will Learn

• Complete Playwright BDD framework from scratch

• Cucumber feature files, step definitions, glue layers

• Page Object Model design with BasePage and inheritance

• Fixtures, hooks and advanced test lifecycle control

• Multi-environment setup and environment variables

• Storage state authentication and session reuse

• Dynamic imports and object loading

• HTML and Allure reporting

• CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions and Netlify

• Data-driven testing with real-world examples

• End-to-end automation using Playwright best practices

Outcome

By completing this course, you will have the knowledge and practical skills to build a fully scalable, maintainable, and professional Playwright automation framework. You will be able to automate any modern web application using BDD, POM, fixtures, reporting, CI/CD pipelines and data-driven testing with confidence.
