What is Playwright? Learn why Playwright is becoming the most popular automation framework, known for being less flaky and faster than contenders like Cypress and Selenium.
Setting up your environment: Step-by-step instructions on downloading Visual Studio Code, installing necessary extensions (Playwright, TypeScript/JavaScript), and creating your first project.
Running your first test: We'll walk you through the commands to initialise your project (npm init playwright@latest), understand the basic project structure, and run the example test.
Essential Playwright concepts: Get introduced to the Playwright Test runner, configuration files, and basic test syntax.
Best Practices: Discover key strategies for writing effective and maintainable Playwright tests, including the importance of selectors (prioritising getByText, getByRole), explicit waiting, and avoiding complex CSS and XPath where possible.
Introduction to the Page Object Model (POM): Learn how to structure your test code for better organisation and readability using the POM.
Leveraging AI (ChatGPT) for faster learning: See how you can use AI tools like ChatGPT to understand syntax, troubleshoot errors, and write more performant code.
Debugging your tests: Discover how to use the Playwright UI mode for time-travel debugging.
Whether you're a complete beginner to automation testing or looking to learn a modern and powerful framework, this tutorial is for you. Don't forget to save the link to the official Playwright documentation – your best friend on this journey! We'll be using TypeScript in this tutorial, so a basic understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript fundamentals will be beneficial.
