Checklist

This course is built for QA professionals and testers who want to move beyond manual testing and write real, production-ready Playwright automation. Whether you're just starting out or migrating from Selenium or Cypress, you'll gain practical skills that translate directly to the job.

Design readable, independent Playwright tests that run fast in CI.
Use smart, state based waits instead of fragile sleeps.
Pick stable, accessible locators that survive UI changes.
Structure suites with fixtures, Page Object Models, and small reusable parts.
Handle tricky UI: selects, autosuggest, calendars, files, dialogs, iframes, windows, tabs.
Write precise assertions for values, elements, and page state.
Orchestrate multiple pages and contexts without collisions.
Debug failures quickly using Trace Viewer, screenshots, videos, and logs.
