Agent vibe testing 2026: Automated Playwright AI Testing

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

It is the whole point. This course teaches an AI-first testing workflow, and the course itself was produced with it: AI-assisted scripts, narration, translations, and code, all reviewed and directed by a human instructor. What you see on screen is what the workflow actually produces.

Playwright is the modern standard for browser and end-to-end (E2E) testing, and web test automation is one of the most requested skills in QA and SDET job postings. You will write real tests in TypeScript, run them cross-browser on Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, and wire them into a CI/CD pipeline. In this course you learn to do it the way it actually works in 2026 — by letting an AI agent drive a real browser, explore the app, and write the tests, while you stay the reviewer who decides what matters.

You will test one real application — TechShop — with fifteen bugs planted in it deliberately. Plaintext passwords. Broken cart math. A checkout button that does not respond. A form that submits completely empty. By the end you will have a Playwright suite that catches every one of them, running automatically on every push.

What makes this course different:

Most Playwright courses teach you the commands — the methods, the selectors, the syntax. This one teaches you a way of working.

Before you write a single test, you watch an AI agent open a real browser through Playwright MCP and explore the app on its own — clicking, reading, and reporting what it finds, like a tester sitting at the keyboard.

Then you build something most courses never give you: reusable Skills for the agent. Four of them — for designing test cases, writing tests, reporting bugs, and telling a real bug from a flaky one. You build them once and keep them. They are the leverage you carry to your next project and your next job.

What you will produce:

- A complete Playwright test suite (TypeScript) covering login, cart, and checkout

- Your own AI Skills pack — four reusable skill files you keep forever

- Structured bug reports generated from real test failures, ready to file

- A GitHub Actions pipeline running the suite headless on every push, with HTML reports and traces archived

- A capstone project on a second app you have never seen — completed independently

- A prompt library ready to drop into your next project

Tools you will use:

- Playwright (TypeScript)

- Antigravity IDE + Playwright MCP

- GitHub + GitHub Actions

- Node.js

Every tool has a free tier. You do not need to spend anything beyond the course.

The honest part about AI:

The AI writes the code. It does not know what "correct" means in your application — you do. So a large part of this course is learning to read what the agent produces and catch it when it is wrong: fragile locators, weak assertions, and the most dangerous thing in automation — a test that passes for the wrong reason. Green does not mean correct. You mean correct.

Who this course is for:

- Manual and QA testers ready to move into automation without a coding background

- Students who completed the Manual Vibe Testing course and want to automate what they tested by hand

- Developers who want durable end-to-end coverage on their web apps

- Anyone curious how AI agents and Playwright MCP change browser testing in 2026

You do not need to write code from scratch. You need to understand what the app should do — the agent handles the code, and you handle the judgment.
