Advanced Playwright Test Automation

Designed for applied learning, Advanced Playwright Test Automation shows how to engineer scalable Playwright suites with fixture composition, project matrices, network control, parallelism and trace-driven diagnosis. It combines advanced playwright architecture and suite-health review with fixture composition, scope and dependency control, then extends the work through projects, devices and multi-environment configuration. Learners extend a working TypeScript suite with custom fixtures, authenticated state, API setup, route interception, sharding concepts and CI-friendly artefacts, then investigate deliberately seeded failures. Participants examine both successful and weak examples, build reusable working habits and consider where human review is essential. The course moves beyond first tests into the decisions that keep multi-browser suites fast, isolated and understandable.

Learning Outcomes

  • Compose custom fixtures with clear scope and dependencies.
  • Design Playwright projects for browsers, devices and environments.
  • Use API and network controls to create focused, deterministic scenarios.
  • Manage authentication and test state without cross-test leakage.
  • Diagnose failures using traces, video, screenshots and logs.
