Course Objective & Scope

With direct out-of-band communication across Chromium, WebKit and Firefox, millisecond-fast isolated BrowserContexts and its built-in Trace Viewer, Playwright has quickly become the benchmark for modern end-to-end test automation. This course goes beyond basic clicks to unlock Playwright's full engineering toolset.

It covers user-facing Locators (getByRole, getByLabel), web-first assertions, reusing authentication via storageState, custom test fixtures combined with Page Objects, hybrid API + UI testing with APIRequestContext, network mocking and HAR replay with page.route, visual comparisons and sharded parallel execution in CI.

Who Should Attend?

  • QA and SDET engineers building fast, low-maintenance browser and API automation suites
  • Testing and development teams migrating from Selenium or Cypress to Playwright
  • Frontend and full-stack developers verifying applications end to end across browsers
  • Prerequisite: basic JavaScript/TypeScript (or Python/.NET/Java for language-specific cohorts)

Key Takeaways

  • Eliminate timing flake using accessibility-driven getByRole locators and auto-retrying web-first assertions
  • Run hundreds of tests in parallel without repeated logins using BrowserContext isolation and storageState
  • Build clean, composable Page Objects and test setup hooks using Playwright's custom Fixture system
  • Combine UI steps with direct backend calls and network mocks via APIRequestContext and page.route
  • Diagnose CI failures in seconds with Playwright Trace Viewer DOM snapshots, console logs and network timelines

Curriculum

Playwright Architecture, BrowserContexts and User-Facing Locators
  • Out-of-band WebSocket protocol and Browser vs BrowserContext vs Page isolation
  • User-facing Locators (getByRole, getByText, getByLabel), filtering and chaining
  • Auto-waiting actionability checks and Web-First Assertions (expect(locator).toBeVisible())
Advanced Interactions, Multi-Context Flows and Authentication
  • Multi-tab popups and running multiple BrowserContexts in one test (e.g. admin and customer chat)
  • Handling IFrames, Shadow DOM, file uploads/downloads and native dialogs
  • Setup projects and sharing authenticated storageState across worker processes
Playwright Fixtures and Page Object Architecture
  • Creating custom fixtures with test.extend and automatic setup/teardown lifecycles
  • Injecting Page Objects through fixtures for clean, boilerplate-free tests
  • Multi-project playwright.config.ts, device emulation, geolocation and clock mocking
API Testing (APIRequestContext) and Network Routing
  • Standalone REST/GraphQL API testing and payload assertions with the request fixture
  • Hybrid flows: seeding data via API and asserting user journeys in the UI
  • Intercepting, modifying and mocking traffic with page.route and replaying HAR files
Visual Comparisons, Trace Viewer and CI/CD Sharding
  • Visual regression testing and dynamic element masking with toHaveScreenshot()
  • Post-mortem debugging with Trace Viewer timelines, live DOM snapshots and network logs
  • Docker execution, parallel workers, multi-machine --shard splitting and CI reporting
